Set your sights upon the heights. Don't be a mediocrity

When I started this blog I thought I would be able to update a lot more but I actually forgot about it for a little. A lot has been going on, all things Disney related are wonderful. Update time :D

As far as working it has been crazy busy! The week before Easter and after Easter I got to work a little over 120hours which was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I made it through the weeks and got two awesome paychecks. Before I came down here for the program I kept hearing how its the people you work with that will make the job that much better, and it is totally true. I have met some of the coolest people and we have a blast! I couldn't imagine working in the parking lot without them. But speaking of the parking lot I have about 2 weeks left working there. I decided to extend my program to August and well originally I got placed in the same location but I received a call from Disney saying there was no room for me there for the Summer so I'll be working with the events over at ESPN Wide World Of Sports. I could not be happier! I think it is a great opportunity to help me understand more about event planning and what goes into it.

My Guest Service class is going well, next week we are going on a "field trip" to Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out the service in hospitality which I think will be really cool. Class is almost over though which will be nice to just work all summer before having to go back to real school. Speaking of college I signed up for all my classes which I'm not very happy about but I have to graduate! I've got 7 classes, its going to be super hard to get back into the school life after living down here just working.

This morning I got to ride Space Mountain with the lights on, and see the backstage of the Monsters Inc Laugh floor which was pretty cool. One of the awesome perks of being on the college program!

That is the past month wrapped up I guess. Can't think of much more that is going on. I'm going to miss the Jersey Shore for the summer that's for sure but how could I pass up working in Disney and living in Florida for 3 extra months?! I'd be crazy not to!
