3 days off

Alright, so luckily, i've had the past three days off, and it's amazing!! Other than the fact that I don't get paid for them.....but whatever lol. I am soooo homesick!! it's crazy, but i'm better tonight. I have to be at work tomorrow at 12:30, which means I have to get up at 8:30 because i'm out of uniforms and need to check out a few more for work. I took my Psychology test today. We won't go into that....

So I went to see "He's just not that in to you" a few weeks ago, and might I just say IT'S MY NEW FAVORITE MOVIE!! and "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is also pretty amazing. My roommate, Ashley helped me with a few excercising tips, and i've been doing them every night before I go to sleep, so maybe, just maybe, i'll look a little different when I get home!! lol, which by the way, I would totally be going now if I could haha.

So I want everyone to start talking to me. Whether it be on here, or just emailing me at l.shoemaker@live.com. I wanna hear from EVERYONE and that's not a joke people!

Well, that's it for tonight, i'm off to bed for my 7 hours of sleep, goodnight everyone!

Always,
Lori

Work

Okay so my last day of Training was Tuesday. Crazy Stuff!!! I work at Pinocchio's Village Haus in Fantasyland and I'm a Buser. So I wipe of tables, and take out trash. I can't really give out too much information on all that over this so if you want all the gross details, feel free to call me! haha

We get 2 days off a week or at least as much as we can. and the people are really nice.

Unfortunately, Kylie is sick with the flu and She's not staying in one spot, which should be her room and I think she's forgetting that it's highly contagious and she has 5 roommates!!!!! So now my roommate Melissa is getting sick, and i'm pretty much positive that i'm next.......great, only the 2nd week of work and already i'm gonna have to call in soon eeeekkk!!!

So anyways...I heard Avaya's party was fun and also heard that my dork of a sister ran into a wall! hahaha, wish I would have been there! Well, ya'll email me and let me know what's going on! Cuz every bit of home I can get is fantastic.

First Week

Well, my first week so far as been pretty hectic. Me and my dad left on Friday (January 30th) and stayed in a couple hotels on the way. When we finally got to Orlando on Sunday, we met with Paula Wallace, who is absolutely great because she used to be in the college program and now she works for Disney so we got to surround her with questions and got to get driven around the area to find the supermarkets and malls, etc.

So Monday was my first day. I checked in at Vista Way Apartments and they gave me my key to my apartment which is so cute. The girls and I are just gonna buy a few decorations because the walls are too white. So I moved in all day and all night and met all my roomates. The one in my room with me is Melissa. She's really nice and as alike as we are, we're still just different enough to not drive each other crazy. In bedroom number 1, my other roommates are Ashley and Amanda. Amanda's gonna be a character performer and she's gonna be a "fur character" which just means she'll be in either a chipmunks costume or in another short range because she's in a certain catagory according to her height. She's real bubbly and just a sweetheart. Ashley is also a character performer and she'll be Alice and Wendy and possibly Tinker bell if all goes well. In bedroom 2 is Sarah and Kylie. Kylie is really generous and like me, it's her first time away from home. Sarah is HILARIOUS! They both work on the attractions like the rollercoasters, etc. as the ppl inside telling you not to cut in line! lol So far, none of us want to kill each other yet :)

Tuesday was the 2nd check in where I picked the class I was gonna take which is Disney Corporate Analasys. I also found out where I was gonna be working that day which is in the Magic Kingdom in Fantasy Land at Pinnocchio's Village Haus.

Wednesday was "Traditions" which as important and interesting as it may sound, just fyi...IT'S NOT! it's soooooo boring. You sit in a room for 4 hours (no exaggeration) and watch videos and listen to ppl talk about SMILING! Not cool. Then I also had my first disney college course that day which was 3 hours long so needless to say, Wednesday was waaayyyy exhausting!!! I'm still recovering.

Thursday was pretty basic. I had training in Food and Beverage which was just and hour and a half listening to ppl talk about Disney again, and sitting in front of a computer doing slideshows for another 2 and a half hours. but I just got done doing Art Appreciation homework so I feel pretty good about myself right now.

Tomorrow is Orientation. I'll find out how to get to work and what costume i'll be wearing so I'll let ya'll know about all that and i'll def. be posting pictures of my ridiculous but ADORABLE self on here. Oh yeah, and be ready for some updates on traffic. Angleton's got nothing on Orlando!!!! It's like Houston times 11, but I LOVE it. I've always liked busy weather!

I'm SOOOO ready to start working and I love my roommates to death and not to mention i'm not broke yet lol. So keep checking this blog out and i'll try keeping up with it!

Always,
Lori :)
