Inspection #1

Tuesday, October 8, 2013

A lot has happened in Florida recently! My work schedule changed, so I had Sunday and Monday off! On Sunday, my roommate, Ashley, her work friend, Chad, and I went to Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom! It was a park filled day. We watched the Beauty and the Beast show and rode many rides in Hollywood Studios! It was just like any other park day; however, check out this picture from Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. Ashley is eating a sandwich. How creative is that for an embarrassing ride picture! I was too busy laughing at her to pull out my sandwich too.

On Monday, we went to Blizzard Beach and Epcot! It was a rainy day in Florida, so the water park was EMPTY! We didn't have to wait in any ride lines and basically had the whole park to ourselves! To much of your surprise, I'd rather visit a water park than work at one. I've mentioned it before, but I get transferred to Magic Kingdom at the end of the month! I'm ready for some change!

Anyway, we ended the night in Epcot! My work friends, Jessica and Kevin, and I had sushi in Japan! It was delicious, but really made me miss getting sushi with my Dad. Sugar Ray was also performing in Epcot last night! Not only did we explore a new culture, but we enjoyed some peaceful music! Nights like these are good reminders as to why this program is worth it!

Can you tell I'm a little homesick? Although this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I've learned more than expected, I do miss normal life. I feel very disconnected from reality. Working for such a giant company has made me realize that I wouldn't EVER want to go into business. Some things aren't always as they appear. And even though there are times that I wonder why I'm here, there are many MORE times that are encouraging and positive to keep me going! MY FAMILY COMES IN 19 DAYS!

To finish off this post, do you remember how I previously mentioned apartment inspections? We survived inspection #1...BARELY. Seriously, the inspectors told us that we almost failed. Mine and Ashley's room and Alexis's room passed with no problems! The other room; however, was not so lucky. They said the floors were disgusting, they said the toilet looked/smelled like it hadn't been flushed/cleaned in months, they found hair all over the bathroom floor (and asked if my roommate is bald...hilarious!), they said the bathroom was overall unsanitary, and they found ants above the door. Would you like to live in this? And I didn't even mention the worst things! If you're curious about those things, you can call or text me. But you should be warned...you will probably be traumatized. So since I live in these conditions (which is NOT my choice, I'm grossed out too), I've been sick for the past week. Sore throats are no fun! Anyway, I hope inspection #2 doesn't uncover any more bugs or diseases in apartment 1605!

So yes, I miss how clean home is.

In final news, Katy Perry and John Mayor visited Disneyland the other day! Why didn't they visit Disney World? But Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey were in Magic Kingdom tonight! Maybe I'll see a celebrity while I'm here!
