EVERYTHING POP!

Well today is my last day of register and merchandise training. I have stock training tomorrow and hopefully I'll train in package pickup/delivery. I have a much better attitude than I had walking into this, yes I rather be in the parks, but you also get crazy hours in the parks, here I have awesome managers, almost everyone working here, excluding CPs, has worked here for more than a year and can answer any question possible. The only thing I can't stand is they want us to stand and wait for the buses backstage behind this certain area so guests don't see us but the problem with that is we can't see when our bus will be here. It's retarded. Even at night time it's like that. It's like come on, really, the guests don't care, they just want to get on their bus and go to DTD or the parks, but whatever, I'll live. The CM cafeteria is ALOT nicer in PC than in PC Cast Services which is in a different area. My shift ended at 1 am, which is the latest, and they start as early as 5:30 am, which I've had one of those shifts, and the only problem with that is, is that it's really boring and dead, I had a 430 pm to 1 am shift, which was a lot better and got a lot more experience in getting the guests their packages, I LOVED THAT PART. I actually enjoyed today. I consider a good day working while listening to Backstreet Boys on the hotel radio. Good Night, well morning.

God Bless!

Ok so.

My trainer Bobbie is awesome and made me a little bit more happy about where I worked. I think like my other trainers from the Dept. of Training and Operations were a little less enthusiastic and all came off like "well this is where you'll work, enjoy it." I met alot of the people that work there and I didn't think you could spend 7 hrs in Pop Everything, but you can. I know a lot of where everything is, which is good. Katie is next to me cause we both took ethernet cords and plugged them into the modem cause if we use wireless and stuff it sucks, it's not the routers fault because Emperor Romulus can never be wrong (the router). and Emp. Rom. is our second router, the first one 5302 was good as well. it's just our internet sucks. And my schedule is quite like Publix because I'm closing almost all the time, well not almost, I am closing all the time. It rotates, 5-1 am, or 7-1 am next week Wednesday to Saturday. I guess it's not that bad, I can sleep in, but I kinda prefer morning shifts so I can do stuff afterward, but I guess that's not going to happen, I can always give my shifts to the hub and let someone take it, but I don't think someone is going to want a 5 to 1 shift. Whatever. I'll live. But my attitude has greatly approved, I just hope I don't have shifts like these all the time, but I probably will, but that's what the hub is for.

...

I feel unsuccessful at everything.

Today..

Well today, I woke up around 10:30 am and all my roommates were gone accept Brittney, so we went to Pop Century to see my costume and it is absolutely boring. I hate it. It's stupid and looks like my middle school uniform... I HATED MIDDLE SCHOOL. It's making me angry, and I didn't see any college aged people there working so that's another thing that made me angry, I don't want to work at a Publix again. Gah, I have training tomorrow and I'm not looking foreword to it. This is so far a bad start. and I know I should have an open mind, but it's kinda hard with this outcome. It's been on my mind the whole time. I remember getting told I was going to work at PC and all my expectations of this program went down. This is horrible. I know my request probably wasn't going to be fulfilled but come on, could they have at least placed me in a theme park instead of a value resort? This is nerve wracking and it's all I could thing about it. I'm not even proud to say I work at PC, I hope no one asks where I work, cause I certainly don't want to say. It's not excited. This is frustrating. I hope I will be proven wrong tomorrow. I really do.

Day Two

I have learned so much in the past two days.

1. Check in day went smoothly and the WDW Cast Members that work in the internships are amazing
2. Chatham is better than Vista and Patterson
3. Chatham may be awesome but the internet sucks.
4. Katie is awesome.

Sorry my only two followers that I couldn't update yesterday, as you read above me internet connection was horrible and flickers on and off. Our room, Katie and I, is amazing and our bathroom is cute. we have rugs and such and our closet, which is in our bathroom for some reason, is in our bathroom and quite organized. Our room is also great, it's clean and colorful, mainly because of our bedspreads are colorful. The walls are white and the floor is like for green and bland, but not anymore :) We are currently watching What A Girl Wants, an super duper movie with Amanda Bynes. Sorry this update isnt long, but I don't have much to say, I'll post pictures though!

Tomorrow!

I LEAVE TOMORROW! It's 1:44 AM and I'm not done packing, 80% done I think. But OMG, my computer got like a crap load of viruses or something, I really don't know, but my computer was acting really stupid. So Curtis came to the rescue and fixed it. Well we think it's fixed, waiting for McAfee to finished scanning my computer. So that's what's going on right now. Later on today is I'm celebrating my birthday two days early because I can't up there. We ordered party things from Pei Wei, and it will be yummmyy!

Three days!

My mom and I got a pair of shoes to go to Traditions and the training days that I need business stuff for. Oh! And I finally got a SunPass for the tolls. This program is making my room a mess with all this crap I have to pack. I have little snacks and stuff because I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to go grocery shopping and my mom is a worry wart and is periodically shoving stuff in the bags we have set aside without me knowing. I'll leave me room and go out with friends and then come back and look at the bag and see it's noticeably larger. Oh dear. Tomorrow I'm going to start packing and putting everything away. we plan to pack everything in boxes because if we used a suitcase and other things like that I would have no place to put them so I'm just going to use boxes and when I take everything out, I'll just flatten the box and shove it under my bed. (THAT REMINDS ME I NEED BED RISERS!) and then at the end of the program, if I don't have the option to extend it, I'll just take the boxes and open them up :) tada!
On a non Disney related note, my birthday is soon! Since my program starts on my birthday, (So I guess it is Disney related) my family and I are going to celebrate my birthday on Saturday. I asked everyone not to give me money and just combine everything so I can get a coach purse from the outlet mall where I live cause I know it's a whole lot cheaper at an outlet mall. but I'm not sure that's going to work out, but whatever, beggers can't be choosers.
Well I'm hooonngree and must attend to my needs and all I wanted to say was 3 more days!

Oh and I got a hair cut, look and see!

After:

One Week till Arrival!

Today is my second to last day at work! After Monday, I shall dedicate my time getting everything together (I haven't even started packing yet!) and spending time with my friends before I leave. I'm still stoked for the program. My brother, on the other hand, keeps discouraging me, he's trying to make me not want to do the program, he's saying I'm going to hate it and it's going to suck and that I will be treated like crap, and a load of other pish posh. I know I wont be treated like a full time cast member, that's a given, I'm going to be an intern! And I don't have a problem with it either. He keeps saying that on my days off I'm not going to want to do anything cause I'll be working all the time and I'll be tired. Well brother of mine, obviously you don't know me. I love Disney and don't think my legs being tired will deter me from going there with my present and future friends. It's just annoying having people wanting to bring you down and put a damper on your excitement.
The nervousness is also starting to become a problem. I was browsing through one of my CP friends on Facebook and she recently posted pictures of her apartment and the arrival party and I was like "ohh crap. I'm leaving soon" I think I'm nervous about being late and the bus system and doing all the chores like doing the dishes and laundry. But I don't think you can prepare for most of the things. I have no idea what to expect so I know I should just go with the flow and just go with the motions cause I can't do anything right now. It's a thing you learn along the journey. But on the other hand, I'm a complete worry wart. Gosh! Ahh! All I know it's going to be an overwhelming first couple of days in the program, but exciting at the same time.

Good luck to all the other fellow CPs!

God Bless!

Happy New Year

Well I decided to jump on the bandwagon and create a WDWCP blog. I'm doing merchandise and leaving January 18th. I'm so excited it's not even funny. I still need to buy a couple of things but that's not on my mind right now, going to work is. I know when I come back from the program work will be so boring compared to Disney. I know I will grow from the experience and it will be friggin amazing.
I so far have business clothes, a comforter for the bed (which from what I hear, is super uncomfortable), a toaster, and towels. All the other stuff I have somewhere in my house. I'm not really stressing about any of that stuff right now, but I know I will later when the time comes for me to leave me house.
Oh. my. it's raining outside for some reason. Living in SoFla is strange, it's January 1st and it was blazing hot outside, now it's raining.
Back on topic! I think one of the things I'm excited about is meeting new people, I already met my roommate, she's amazing by the way! but there will be more people in the apartment that I'm going to meet. sfkjfdsafsd I CAN'T WAIT.
Ok scratch the part of me not freaking out or stressing about anything, I need to do laundry! My mom has always done my laundry and she's been teaching me how to do it, it's pretty simple, but I know when I'm alone on my own and the time comes, I'm going to freak out and have to call my mom and ask a stupid question.
Well I think I have to go, it's lightening outside and I really don't want to retype this up if my power goes out lol.

I plan to write sooner when I'm closer to my date.

Wish me luck and God bless!
