So. 5 weeks have slipped by. That's 39 daysish. Golly Gosh.
I'm not gonna lie...its taken me this long to feel normal but even then I still don't somehow.
I think its always been hitting me that I'm not going home until next year, that this is my home for now. Well I wouldn't call it home...lets just say for the next year, this is where I'm living. But now, its defiantly sunk in and sometimes i find it difficult to get my head around it, to believe that I'm not gonna see everyone i love till next year. But at the same time, i feel that if i can go the whole year without seeing them, without going home, ill know i can do it by myself, that i can survive in this world and be happy and know that i will always have the people i love and the people who love me, behind me every step of the way, even if i don't see them.
I HAVE MY BLACKBERRY BACK IN MY LIFE! I have James Dunkin to thank for this and i will be forever grateful for helping me with it as I'm shite at technology and what to do with it!
I got it sorted out last Saturday...literally was screaming with happiness :) I'm so happy i am finally back in contact with the rest of the world! For anyone coming out here soon, try and get a phone sorted as soon as possible...its difficult to keep up and get ahold of people over here without one!
Because I haven't got skype either, I'm appreciating it so much more too as i can use the unlimited Internet i have to use whatsapp to talk to Ben :) that's the reason why i wanted it sooo bad and now i have constant contact with him :) YAY!
I spoke to him last Saturday on skype for like an hour or more? Loved it. Was sooo good to see and speak to him and i love my roommate for lending me her computer. I truly appreciate the time I do get to speak to him as it has been limited and i love every second of it. Yeah that's kinda cheesy and what not but i really couldn't care less! Hes my boyfriend so I'm entitled :D
I went to the Magic Kingdom with a couple of the girls from work yesterday, pretty awesome day even though it was bitterly cold most of it!
We didn't really go on any rides, literally just walked around the park, taking everything in and watching numerous amounts of parades and shows! They insisted I watch them as i hadn't seen them before and I'm glad i did to be honest! Although i now have the songs permanently stamped on my brain as they were constantly singing the tunes!
It was nice though, as when you're on holiday here, you have a limited amount of time and you wanna rush round and see and go on everything, that you don't have time to take everything in and you miss the really good parts of Disney, so I'm glad i did it!
They took me into Castle Couture where we got sprinkled with 'pixie dust'. From the punctuation i put around the words pixie dust, you should be able to tell that it is in fact not pixie dust but GLITTER. I loathe glitter! Think about something you hate, that makes you feel sick or makes your skin crawl...that's how i feel about glitter! It gets EVERYWHERE! And takes for ever to come off! I brushed it out of my hair last night but my pillow is covered in it and its still all over my head! I'm still gonna be finding it weeks into the future! AHHHH! We also bough princess tiaras and spent the day wearing them round the park! So much fun!
We've had another round of newbies arrive...2nd since I've been here so I'm no longer newbie! :) And then we've got more coming on March 22nd! Literally newbie takeover!
Its so weird to think that i was them 5 weeks ago and now ill have higher seniority when it comes to schedule bids and rotas etc! Insane!
But in the arrival group that came on Tuesday, is a girl called Charlotte who i actually interviewed with back in October in London! So I'm really excited shes here and once shes settled down and gone through all the traditions classes, we are so going out for dinner to celebrate! :)
My mothers been back in contact and shes coming out to see me...She said before I left that she was gonna look into it but shes actually picked dates and started to arrange details of the holiday! Shes coming out with my nan, who's in her 80's! So i feel quite touched that she wants to come out as well and see me :) But shes looking at 7 DAYS here..a whooole week! I find more than 3 hours with my mother taxing, so how i am gonna cope with her for a week, I do not know! Its known that if you've got family staying, you take advantage of the fact that they're staying in a Disney hotel, using your discount, and stay with them. Yeah, I DO NOT see that happening with my mother. I think ill end up committing suicide or something! I know that's an awful thing to say and it sounds SO bad but for those of you reading this who know about my mother situation, you will understand completely and probably chuckle at that comment!
Ive got my longest week coming up next week..when you start out in F&B you are contracted to 30 hour weeks minimum with 2 days off. If you work over 40 hours, you get paid over time. When you get into service after you've been here 90 days, then you drop down to 1 day off a week and you work more hours. Next week I'm working 41 hours with 1 day off! The longest and hardest i will have worked since my 2nd to last week at Wildwood back in January now. WOW! Seems like a lifetime ago!
But to be honest, I'm kinda excited about it! Sad right?! But after working in a fast paced restaurant, working 6 days a week, anywhere between 35 and 50 hours to coming to this..5 days a week with a minimum of 30 hours...its quite nice to be picking up the pace and longer shifts that I'm used to and programmed to do! If anything i WANT to do it. I miss the chaos and i miss being sooo busy that you have no time to think, you just do. That's why i cant wait to get into service over here..i miss it! I hate not being busy and having something to do...the fact that its quiet season over here at the moment, doesn't help as usually theres not alot to do! But that's all gonna change, very soon i hope!
