Reading back over my previous post, I'm struggling to remember everything that has happened in the last week. I mean, not a huge amount has happened but enough to make you question the order in what things happened it. So I'll try my best to piece it back together now. I'm actually having to look back over my facebook wall to see whats happened! How mad is that! I have a memory like a fish but this is beyond a joke! So from looking back over my page this is what I've come up with!
Wednesday 27th, Kitty, Meena (2 of the girls in my arrival group) 2 German girls who Kitty works with, Linda and Alina (i hope that's right!) and myself, hired a car and drove down across to Sarasota..well Kitty drove, as you have to be 25 with most hire company's in America, bloody ridiculous! It took us 2 hours to get there but it was well worth it, the beach was breathtaking...actual white white sand..powdery too, not the coarse stuff that you get on most beaches! But it was mighty windy so we all spent the day sporting the windswept look but it was an amazing day all the same!
Friday was of course, royal wedding day, a day that literally EVERY guest had been talking about for the past like 2 months. The question 'so were you invited to the wedding?' had been completely worn out and became quite annoying to answer actually. The day of the wedding was actually a really fun one. Most of the UK cast members got up early to be in Epcot for 8am as there was a commemorative photograph being taken and we'll all receive one at some point. They had food prepared for us as well and they made a 'wedding cake' for William and Kate, which was a little sad to be honest, but bloody yummy! I also managed to trap my finger in one of the huuuuge doors that lead backstage...hurt like a absolute bitch and looked absolutely disgusting after it had finished swelling and transforming into ET's finger! Luckily i didn't break or fracture it, would have cost me dearly in hospital fees if i needed x-rays, even for a flipping doctors appointment it costs! Was petrified i was gonna loose my nail but its fine now, just have a black mark on my nail and its almost back to normal thank god...just in time for me to go into my service training! :) Ill come to that in a sec...trying to keep everything in order here, doesn't help when you're shattered!
I received my first package from home on Sunday! Was from my cousin Wendy who had asked if i wanted anything without me even asking which was really sweet. Her 3 boys had said they were gonna send me things that they think someone living in America should have as they didn't want me getting homesick, bless their hearts! I received numerous amounts of English sweeties, an Easter egg, some Union Jack cupcake cases, footsie tights and 2 cans of spray deodorant. So the last 2 items may sound weird but the footsies line my shoes because i cant wear tights or knee highs anymore...its too darn warm now! And for some reason, Americans don't believe in spray deodorant! If you manage to be lucky and fine some...i guarantee it'll smell like shite! So for people reading this, who are coming out, especially girls...stock up on spray deodorant if you don't like roll on!
This Monday just gone, Disney hosted a Spring Formal for all its cast members which, I honestly thought, was gonna be shocking! But it was actually alot of fun. They do 2 a year..the spring one and then a winter one, so I'll get to go to both which is quite exciting. They had tables upon tables of food, a decent DJ and the evil characters from Disney films with whom you could get your photograph taken with.
So today was my last podium shift. Tomorrow i go into my training for service! I'm doing like an 8 hour shift of food running then Monday I'm doing a day in the kitchen and Tuesday I'm doing a bar day. I then have 3 days off, then on Saturday i have another food running shift and then Sunday I'm into my service training where ill actually be serving tables! eeeep! its so scary that its finally come! I'm so excited but I'm so nervous too!
Oh! I received the first half of my package from my sister that Ive been asking for since February! 2 MONTHS its taken and its finally here! I'm waiting of the other part of it, as there was too much stuff to put in one packet! Oops!
So that's been my past week in a nutshell, taken from my facebook page! Its probably a little scrambled and doesn't make much sense, so I apologise if it didn't and you got bored half way through!
Ive decided to really knuckle down and sort myself out, starting with eating healthier and going to the gym more. Ive actually been sticking to it which is surprising as it takes alot of effort for me to get into a habit of things! But this week Ive gone to the gym 3 times and cycled 8 miles and ran 2 miles...very proud of myself although my legs are now suffering! I'm also knuckling down with revision of the menu from tomorrow so I'm confident with my knowledge of it. Also cutting back the social life a smidge, just until I'm through on service...will also help with monies too!
That being said, I must go to bed as I wanna be awake and alert for training! I always hated it when people didn't put effort in back home when i was training them, so i don't wanna become one of those people! That, and also I'm literally falling asleep as i type, I'm constantly hitting caps lock by accident and writing everything as if I'm shouting it and have probably sent you all off to sleep! So goodnight :)
