2 months down, 10 to go!

FML. 2 months? Really?
According to my little badge at the side, Ive been here bang on 60 days.Wowzer.
This week has been pretty chilled and a good one..I've had all daytime shifts so since last Sunday, Ive had every night off! Such a novelty back home seeing as management works more than floor staff and pretty much every evening!
Ive kinda laid back and done the bare minimum too..i mean it doesn't help with the fact that there have been tornado warnings for the best part of the week and there being no guests in Epcot! Being ER'd (early released for those who don't know) was literally the story of every ones lives this week as we literally spent the day tasking and shitting around chatting!
Ive never seen rain, or weather for that fact, like it! One minute the suns shining and its blue skies, next minute its literally pelting it down with rain, thunder and lightening like you've never seen or heard. There was one crack of thunder on Monday which sounded like someone had shot a gun just outside chippie! Ridiculous!
Also experienced first tornado warnings ever...quite scary honestly but i think it'd be quite cool to see one...obviously from very very VERY far away! They have tornado warning that come through the radio too, it sounds like my alarm clock!
Its also so random that people STILL come to the parks in weather like that! Its funny to see everyone walking around in ponchos and flip flops, trying to stay dry!
We also get macs to add to our 'beautiful' costumes...make you look like you're wearing a huuuge condom, but hey! keeps you dry! :)

A friend of mine who i haven't seen in like 9 months was in Orlando this week, to end his travel there before flying home. Hes actually like Ben's best mate too. We both said that, if i got the job at Disney, then he'd come visit on his travels and we'd meet up, so it was actually quite cool that we actually got to do that :)
Was so so good to see a familiar face and someone from home. Had so much fun...had my first experience of hooters (obviously with James!) and it was actually really cool, not as sleazy and degrading as i had imagined! We got pulled over by a cop too because the tail light and indicators were out on the back of his car! oops! but they did that thing like they do in the movies where they use a microphone to tell you what they want you to do! It was so odd! But luckily, playing the whole 'im english' thing, worked and he got off with a warning! But hes gotta drive the car back to Miami before flying home! Good luck to him! :p
He flying back to England on Monday..its so weird that Ive seen him, and in like 3 days hes gonna get to see Ben. I hate that, I'm so jealous of him! :(

Now that I'm at my 60 day mark, i can take my pre-service test, something that you have to do to get into service. Its such a pain because you have to learn so much for it but its gotta be done. Ive written out all my cue cards for the menu items , i just need to learn them now! Its gonna be such a pain, but so worth it. I'm wanting to9 get into service now...Ive enjoyed the roles that Ive done but i just don't feel challenged and I'm one who gets bored of things quickly. I'm bored and i miss serving! The moneys also an attraction!
So after Ive had my service class on Monday (8am start at Disney University..FML right?!) I'm gonna really knuckle down and start learning and then take my test as i then have to wait like 3-4 weeks before i have my service week and further tests before becoming a fully fledged server. The know how is there, its just getting there that's worrying me as i know what I'm like with remembering things and studying. Its taken me like 2 and a half years to know my menu at home inside out and back to front! and even then i still ask questions! But I'm just gonna do my best as that's all i can do!
Once I start earning that extra money then ill feel alot more comfortable and hopefully then Ben can come visit which would be amazing! But no pressure because I know how expensive it is to get here..i don't hold it against anyone who doesn't...I'm only here for a year...i don't want people to waste money on coming to see me!
But i hope he can.
I miss him so much..ahh, I'm gunna loose my head! But its fine. I find talking about him, oddly calms that and makes me happier.Like the memories. Like i feel privileged and i smile to myself because i have him and i have that with him. SAP! yeah i know, shhhh!
I've just realised how many times Ive just said 'like',oops!
I have a tendency to do that with certain words...i don't realise i do it and i don't mean to...just kinda happens and i overuse some certain words!
People pick up on it all the time and I'm like ooop! :)
