Hi everyone!
I'm sure you've given up on this blog by now, but I'm back at Disney for the summer! I've been working hard for the past month and a half and now have time to tell you all about it! Anyone interested?

way too long
Hey everyone,
I'm sure you've stopped checking this thing since I've been so lazy and haven't written in a while, but I decided to give an update.
Things have been going pretty well lately. I had a case of pink eye that was no fun, but things got better and now I'm back to work! I only have a couple more weeks, and people are already starting to leave. It's down to 5 of us in our 8 person apartment. 2 left early and one girl extended. 2 of our remaining girls aren't around too much so my roomie & i spend as much time as we can together. Our apartment is easier to live in, but we all miss the other girls. The people that extended their college program have started training already so it will be fun to learn about what their new roles are like! I know a new lifeguard & a new character attendant!
Since I did not end up getting extended I decided to work in a summer camp that I've been going to for years so I'm pretty happy about that. My parents are coming up a couple of days early to visit with me and play in the parks! I can't wait to see them and have fun with them! Stephanie [my roommate] and her family will be here as well so we are all excited to meet one another. :)

still sick
I went to work coughing my lungs out and about an hour later was sent home. We're becoming overstaffed now so it's easier for the sick ones to get out. I spent the day in the fresh air which actually seemed to help, so hopefully tomorrow it won't be too bad at work. :)
hey everyone
I'm so sorry that I've been so sparatic with my entries for the past two weeks. If you didn't see in my earlier entry, I worked 60 hours last week which ended up being 61 hours. The paycheck was nice, but I ended up getting sick over all the work and stress that I've had. I think I'm getting over that right now, but my nose is still runny, and my voice still sounds funny. I'm fine though. :)
I'm quite happy about this week because I seem to have an early week. It's going to be nice to get off of work during daylight hours for once.
Any questions? Comment!! :)

day 5 of 8
Hey everyone,
Just letting everyone how my week and a bit of work is going. It's been hectic, but not too bad. Magic Kingdom is DEFINITELY more busy. I'm not gonna lie, it's been tougher lately to keep that great positive mentality with so many co workers tired and grouchy, but I had a pep talk from one of my character attendant friends and he reminded me that going above & beyond is the only way I'll get anywhere. We shared stories and he gave me some great advice. Being in food isn't bad, but I really want Entertainment to say yes to me. I find out in six days....on Monday, April 13th....keep your fingers crossed, please!!! I want to do this soooo bad!!
So yes this is what my week looks like:
Sun: 315pm-315am
Mon: 215pm-145am
Tue: 12pm-1245am
Wed: 315pm-1245am
Thu: 845am-515pm
Fri: 630pm-315am
Sat: OFF
Next week looks pretty similar.
Oh! Fun fact! Some of my coworkers and managers have been commenting on how they want me to become a trainer. So I am currently trying to get more hours in Tomorrowland & Toontown. That will help me be able to train others to work in those three lands. :)
Things are going well....I miss everyone, but I'm having the time of my life down here and I don't want it to end!!!

this week so far
So when I got my schedule for next week I saw that I was scheduled for SIXTY hours!!! Easter season is intense! Today is my last day off until I work nine days in a row....wow. So when I saw that horrendous schedule I got pretty stressed out and didn't want to be at work. I got released early after only being at work for one hour so I spent the rest of the day playing in the park!! It was so much fun!! And then the day after that I was re-taught how to close Enchanted Groves...very good to know. : )
Yesterday I had my Leadership class and we talked about recognition. I hope that if I ever become a leader that I will respect my fellow employees and recognize them for the good things that they do. It was a good class. After that I went to Animal Kingdom & then Epcot with my friend Brogan. Then Mike picked us up and took us home and he brought over Tinkerbell the movie so that he & I could watch it together. It was really cute!
Today the agenda is going to Typhoon Lagoon with Mike [a bunch of my roomies ended up going too so we'll be meeting up with them] and then he & I are going to watch High School Musical 3 since I haven't seen it yet. Yay Disney movies!!!
