Update!

Well, after a week of training, I have finally been assessed on my attraction and passed with flying colors. I am fully trained now in the inner workings of my ride, and let me tell you, it is fascinating. I really like the people I work with, and I love living here. I have met so many wonderful people! I met a guy named Rick and we hit it off really well. And I love my roommates. They are super sweet. My work schedule is taking some getting used to and at times I am still very home sick. Like today. My sister is in labor right now, having my baby nephew, Baxter Cade Claflin, and I’m here, not able to meet him the day he is born like I was able to meet my first natural niece. Today is an easy day. I don’t work until about 6:45 tonight, so I am taking it easy. I’m waiting for my friend Bobby to pick me up and take me to the bank and maybe to get groceries. I’m about outta food and I really need to do laundry. Laundry will probably have to be tomorrow, but I need to get food for tonight. I have a few dollars, but not enough to live on for more than a few days. That kind of sucks but it’s my own fault. Just haven’t been able to make it to the bank to cash my checks. I really want my car here. That would help so immensely. I miss my baby! She is so lonely in Memphis without me to drive her! I mean I would still use the busses, but I would have my car for days like this when I have hours to waste and no bus to help me. I think I might lay down for a bit though. I didn’t get much sleep last night and I’m kind of tuckered. Love yall! Miss ya!

Hey guys! Sorry there has been no update but things have been so busy since I arrived. Leaving was really really hard. Saying by to my friends and family was the most difficult. I am the first person in my family to ever move so far away from home to chase a dream, and being so groundbreaking is very scary. But I pushed through my fear and I arrived safetly to check in on the 21 of January.

Upon your arrival, you will need your proof of illegability to work, and some form of picture ID to prove who you are. The first day you fill out forms, and you chose your housing assignment. You can chose to live in either Vista Way Apartments, or Chatham Square Apartments. I chose Chatham. They are newer and much much nicer! There are new apartments being constructed as we speak, though, right across the street. Those look like they will be really nice too.

The second day is more paper work, and you recieve your schedual for training, Traditions, and your work location. I can't reveal where I work because of a contest going on with a Podcast I listen to thats near and dear to my heart called Lets Talk About Disney, or LTAD (www.letstalkaboutdisney.com).

Traditions is usually your third day and you recieve your ID card, and this means you can get into those parks! I went to Magic Kingdom and met some fabulous new friends.

So far my experience has been amazing! I love my job, I love my co-workers, I love what I do. It is hard, it is challenging, and it can be lonely, but only if you allow it to be. There are hundreds of other people just like you all around for you to befriend, especially if you take the buses provided for you by Disney. More to come later! Right now I need to eat and get ready for work!
