OMGracious!

Good gracious the time just flies!!! I have completely forgotten about my blog but will update now lol i am having a blast (as usual) but am a little back-and-forth on my location, which i completely forgot to say! i work in Stands West at MAGIC KINGDOM!! its a part of Quick Service Food & Beverage but its not the restaurants and its not all outdoor carts either, its kind of a mixture of the 2 lol but it covers Frontierland, Adventureland, and Liberty Square. my homeland is Frontier which i was not too happy about to begin with but i absolutely love it. i have been trained in Liberty (didnt care too much for it) and i havent been trained for but worked in Adventure (didnt care for it too much either but i did like Sunshine Tree) i love the people i work to death and have made some more truly great friends that i plan on keeping in touch with, i typically love working in my area, and i love most of my coordinators and a lot of the managers as well. so whats wrong? i feel like they dont care about whats going on or whats happing as long as they have their little worker to keep on working. for instance, one afternoon while busy at Golden Oak Outpost (our fried chicken and french fries location), i was putting chicken sandwich breasts into the holder to fry when it decides to go ahead and drop into the fryer splashing me with a bunch of 360º frying oil all over my side in its haste. now before you freak out, im perfectly fine i just got a bit shaken up, but i call to our main kitchen to ask for someone to come take my place while i go change into the extra costume i just so luckily had in my locker. on my way, i stop in at the manager's office to get some burn relief gel to put on when i changed and all they did was ask what happened and say "ok" to me going to change. when i came back fresh and still burning they just sent me right back to Outpost, not even asking if i was ok. what the crap?!?!?!? another instance, i was ridiculously sick to my stomach and just knew i was going to "spill my protein" and asked a coordinator if i could leave early, a manager came to me a little later and asked if i could make it the rest of my shift til 3AM! honestly, i couldnt but told him i could if i had to, but i ended up being able to leave only 4 hours later and 2 hours early from the end of my shift. im not trying to complain but you have got to be more concerned and care for your cast members if you want them to act accordingly in return. so anyway, ive been in a not-so-helpful mood towards going out of my way if i dont have to. but i do have 5 weeks left and it seems like the time as just blown right by. i am still not ready for school, but when am i ever. in other news, the yearly hours required for seasonal have been raised from 40 to 150 and at first i thought that was a crap ton but after a lot of thought ive realized its pretty do-able especially for the benefits lol and ive mentioned to several of my leaders that i hope to go seasonal and they have all said that i more then likely would get it which is great news. so now i can attend and be in Elizabeth's wedding next year and still come back, just not on the College Program!! but anyway i cant really think of anything else at the moment so im out!

i almost forgot! ED GOT HIS INVITE!!!!!! he finally received his invitation to attend the Summer Alumni Program with me and Em a couple days ago as an attractions cast member! im not 100% sure if he has officially accepted it yet, he was supposed to on Friday. i will say im a bit upset/jealous that they both got attractions and i didnt but im really just glad that we all made it in and will be having the most epic summer in the history of summers in just 2 and a half months (refer to Emily for specific amount of days lol). update on school and stress is that things are looking up. after a much needed breakdown, i came out on the other side with a renewed sense of motivation and determination to get through this semester and do it with good grades. still a bit stressed but much more stable with it. thats about all i can think of at the moment but will report back if/when something comes up :) ttfn, ta ta for now!

IM GOING BACK!!!!!

it is now official as of roughly 8pm last night! i applied and was accepted into the Summer Alumni Program for this summer as a QSF&B cast member! im so excited and cannot wait!! my arrival and departure dates for the program are May 16-August 12 :) so now all i have to do is make it through the rest of these 3 months of classes with good grades so that my parental units will actually allow me to go (although the $300 nonrefundable fees that have now been paid should help persuade them lol). i will admit that this semester has already been just downright awful and is truly testing my strength and self-will with school and has been extremely difficult so far. however, with the help of the 3 months in Disney to look forward to with one of my best friends (who i met on my last program) as a roommie and a small, yet apparently powerful mental and emotional breakdown last week, i now have a new, determined attitude toward my schoolwork and with the help of my glorious God, i will achieve good grades and conquer this dreadful thing of school that is so important in todays society and economy. so until my last final which is no later than May 5, i will have little to no life that does not revolve around school and art projects haha but ill make, no worries about that, Disney is just too important to me and too much a part of my life and long-term life/job goals for me to screw up now. any encouragement or help from my friends and family is always appreciated :))
