Home for a weekend

Lots of new people are checking in but I have not really met anybody because I am working so much. I have not seen any new Cp's in my area.....it makes me sad because I am really missing everyone from L-square from Fall.

I went home this past weekend and it was definitely nice to see my family and a few select friends. I miss everyone like stinkin' crazy. I went to my home church for the first time since I came to Disney and it was amazing. Anthony Evans Jr. led worship (pretty cool that he was there when I was there) and the message that my pastor gave on peace was pretty awesome too.

Well, talk to y'all later!

New people!!!! :)

GAHHHHH! I am seeing a lot of new people around the Chatham Square complex!!! Can't wait to meet new people and make some more lifelong friends here, like I did for Fall 2010!

If we have not met yet, COME TALK TO ME! :) I loveeee new friends!

1 year ago

1 year ago, Haiti was DEVASTATED with an Earthquake that killed many and left even more homeless, without food, without water, without clothing, without anything. Please take some time today to reflect on the things that we are blessed with here in America and the things that many other people in other countries DO NOT have.

Just some food for thought.

New Year

This year: No resolutions. Only setting goals throughout the year, rather than only at the beginning of the year. I think that if you only set "resolutions" at the beginning of the year, you are more likely to not follow through with them. The only thing that I am setting at the beginning of the year, is to try to do something new every single day of the year! I am going to try to log them and share them at the end of every month. Hopefully this goes throughout the year. I think this will be a good way to experience a lot of new things, if I consciously write them down and think about it! :)

And as always, I set a "reading goal" every year. This year, my goal is 24 books. I will also be logging those as well. It will be about 2 books a month, so hopefully I can keep up with that.

Hope everyone is well. I am all moved into my one bedroom apartment in Chatham Square and I have continued working in Liberty Square in my extension.

Have a wonderful week y'all!

Holiday madness begins

So my trip home was pretty good. I got George to cover my shift on Monday so that I could stay home all the way through Tuesday! :) I got to be home for almost 5 days and it felt good to be refreshed and ready to go back to work for the holiday season.

They are already starting to work me like crazy for the holidays and we are still not "officially" in the season yet. Plus, today, I am deployed for one day to Downtown Disney, at D-Street/TrenD. I have never even been to these stores so this will be an interesting experience. And then next week, I am working over 10 hours, nearly every single day.

However, this week also, my best friend, her husband, daughter, and her daughter's godmother are all coming to visit me here at Disney so we are going to spend 2 very fun-filled days in the parks. It will be Josh and Leilani's first time at Magic Kingdom so I am pumped! :) It will be so much fun.

Well, off to clean. We have inspections on Monday.

Love y'all!

October 27th :)

So the last few weeks have just been a rush, between working the Halloween parties and working some really crazy hours (hello...3am?) and going to play in the parks before work and on my days off as well. "It's a Small World" re-opened, and I thought it was going to change and be different so I waited in a 40 minute line to ride it, only to find out the only thing changed was the line queue. I love the ride, but it is NOT worth a 40 minute wait, haha.

The last of the Halloween parties is this upcoming weekend and then next week, the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party starts up and so that's going to be a whirlwind of craziness as well. I am so excited for a change though and I can't wait to attend that party as a guest as well! :)

I am going home this weekend. I am taking a train back down to South Florida on Friday to get there just in time for Greg and I's date for our 3 year anniversary which coincidentally is actually on Friday. I then have an orthodontist appointment on Saturday afternoon (which is why I was going home in the first place) and then I am hoping to spend the afternoon with my best friend Christine and her adorable baby Leilani. Then on Saturday evening I am going to go to church at CBG which I have missed greatly and then drive up to West Palm Beach to Jen's new apartment for a get-together she is having! Then on Sunday is Halloween which I will likely spend most of the day with my family. I am not sure if I am coming back to Orlando on Sunday or Monday. It will depend on if I can get my Monday night shift covered or not.

Well, this is a longer update than normal but it has been a little while since I have blogged. I am hoping to blog about my trip when I get back and I will probably post a vlog about that as well.

Hope everyone is having a great week! :) If you have any questions feel free to check out my Formspring athttp://formspring.me/lytysha . It can be questions about anything, including about the Disney College Program.

Great Service Fanatic #2!!!

I got my second "Great Service Fanatic" this week! :) I got it last night because I had a VERY difficult guest who was giving me a hard time and kept changing what she wanted and it resulted in me having a lot of voids on my register (not good) and almost in tears. But I continued to give her what she wanted until she was finally satisfied and left. A co-worker (who is an ornament personalizer) saw the whole transaction, which had lasted over an hour by the way, and awarded me with the certificate. I was so grateful because I was so frustrated and upset over this guest. It made me feel a little better!

I also worked a halloween party last night and it was really fun. I had a great conversation with a couple that was celebrating their first wedding anniversary and I also met a little girl who was dressed up as Lady GaGa (very realistically I might add) and she was just precious. I love the people I get to interact with on a day-to-day basis. I learn so much and I meet so many people from around the world.

And then, as I was leaving the bus stop last night, this random girl asked me if she could get a ride home because she saw that my ID had the same complex as her and so I said yes and I got to meet somebody new. She was super nice and from Colorado (which is somewhat near where i'm originally from) so that was a nice experience too!

I don't have to work until 5:15 today so I am just hanging out for the day, doing some crocheting for a charity called Knit Pray Love and I may do some scrapbooking here later! :)

Have a wonderful day everyone!
