Half way through my seven days of work in a row party 

So I have four out of 7 days in a row done, which gives me hope that I’ll get there someday ;)

My french was useful or the first time this week! I helped a lady get her order at the cashier. I also impressed Nicole a lot! 

I also received my first four keys card today, which makes me really proud that I’m doing a good job!! - I can also check that off my bucket list!

The one bad thing that’s happened to me this week: I lost my neck scarf somewhere so I need to go back to costuming, which means I need to go to work 2 hours early tomorrow. Ugh. At least I won’t have to do laundry. 

Hollywood Studios

So I haven’t updated in a while, but I’ve mostly been working and sleeping. Work is really good and everyone I’ve met so far has been super nice. There was only one incident this week where a client got mad at me in all my training, and I don’t think it was entirely my fault, so I count that as a win! 

I had yesterday and today off, so I hit up the parks! Yesterday I went to Animal Kingdom with Emily H. We went to see Festival of the Lion king, which she had never seen. We also rode Expedition Everest and did a few of the Wilderness Explorers badges! After that we went to Magic Kingdom and she got me signed up for Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, which is kind of fun. I also had a Dole Whip (yum)! After that we met up with her friend Stephanie who is also super nice, and we did a couple of rides and went shopping! I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I will have to stop spending in order to save up for the Dooney and Burke haunted mansion bag, because I love it so much omg. 

Today I went to Hollywood Studios with Natalie and Emily C. They actually managed to get me on Tower of Terror; I hate it (although if I absolutely had to do it again, I could), but at least I can say that I did it! After that we went to see a couple of shows (Indiana Jones: Stunt Spectacular and Beauty and the Beast) and we walked around in the shops and the park. We also met Chewie, who I love, even though I’m not a huge fan of Star Wars... 

All in all I have had a really good couple of days, and I can honestly say that I no longer want to go home!

First day of on the job training

My first day of training went well; everyone is super nice and friendly, I did a good job, and the job is decently fun. 

I was working in the dining room area on trash and trays, and then on ‘’beverage island’’, at one point I was working beverage island on my own, and my trainer, Vanessa, said that I was her first trainee to be able to work it alone on their first day. I was pretty proud of myself! 

I came home exhausted and went to bed pretty much as soon as I got out of my work costume. 

In other news, my phone is broken and I don’t know what to do..... I took it apart today, but to no avail...
