Work

So yesterday I had the opportunity to work at the Contemporary! It's a really nice hotel and it was the 2nd to open at WDW and it was the first to bring in $$$$. It's a cool place. I did a party, basically I roll out a music cart by the pool and have children's activities ready for the kids to do. I also put on a swimsuit and did all sorts of pool games with the kids. It's way fun, quite a bit of prep work and being quick on your feet, but it's a lot of fun :)

Anyways, I have to get going, but I'll keep ya'll updated! I'm going to also be training at the Wilderness Lodge today :D

Adventures!!! Old and new :D

So I wasthinking that I could put things off because of the whole rhapsody ... er, rapture thing that we had going on. Also, I was REALLY busy... taking pictures! :D

Okay, so I have some things that I would really like to go over before I go into what's all been going on here in Disney World.

First thing that I would like you

to know about is one of my absolute favorite trips while I was home. I had the opportunity to be with my little brother and my best friend Kevin for pretty much a whole day. We had several adventures, including Super Burger, strolling downtown Santa Rosa, and braving a wonderful bookstore that left us with great ideas and wishing we could

buy many books within. We met with Woodstock, Lucy and also Marcy! For those of you don't know this, Santa Rosa California is the hometown of Charles Schulz, the creator of Snoopy and the gang. :) While up there we also toured to campus of Sonoma State University. With alumni Kevin asour tour guidewe were able to truly enjoy the beauty of the school grounds.

Yup. Great day in Cali.

Now for another great day in Cali. My mom, dad, lil brother and I decided to go to SF!! erm... TWICE! Haha, we went once to the Japanese Tea Gardens and then the science place right across the way. The second time we went was to drop me off for the airport, we went to the Giants stadium for that one. Both times were great days for San Francisco. Now I

will let the pictures speak for themselves. :D I hope that you ENJOY!

We also went to Tahoe for Mother's day weekend. It was fun! I loved it.

In other news, I have started at DISNEY!!!!! On the first day that I could enter the parks for free with my Disney ID I went to the wrong entrance... I unknowingly followed cast members to the cast entrance, no the front. Embarrassed I went back the way I came and finally found the park. It was also Star Wars opening weekend. :) I have the following pictures as proof. Chris and Mark were also in town during this time, it was a blast, I already miss them.

I will be working at the Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness Campgrounds, Contemporary, and the DVC (Hotel sort of place that is for Disney Vacation Club members) as a children's activities person.

All in all it should be a lot

of fun. Oh and I couldn't forget Mike. We have a friend here. My roommate's friend Mike. (BTW, my roommates are amazing!!! There's Elisheva from Sac, Bethany from Minnesota, Kelly from Colorado, Chelsea from Washington State and Amber from Texas) Mike was sitting at the table with us... however, not for long.... By the way, as I typed this Ben Kweller's "Falling" started to play, irony?And for those of you wondering, yes, he is on the floor, yes that is a fallen chair in front of him, and lastly, yes, he is pouting. ^.^ Okay, well I have to get going now. I have work today at the Contemporary, training, again. But I'm glad! Alright, until next time....

P.s. If you're wondering why I don't have pictures of CJ up, it's because my dad is the one who has the pictures of him, I can't seem to steal them from facebook anymore :/ So this will have to do. Have fun people.

P.s.s. Auditions for characters takes place june 21st

In one piece... erm... except my luggage....

So I'm in Orlando now! Wooohooo! You know it's a large airport when you have to take a shuttle (similar to BART) just to get to the baggage claim! But it's nice not having to walk all that distance!

Anyways, I got off to a rocky start on American Airlines. In San Francisco I said goodbye to my family, it was a solemn moment, filled with lots of crying and declaring of one's love for me... ;) Haha, it's how everything is in the family, filled with smiles, hugs, advice and brothers trying to seem macho and not needing to hug their sister. (of course they were also thinking of how nice it will be without my stuff in the house).

My dad came in with me to check my bags and instantly we knew something was wrong. There was a fatty line... and people were upset about stuff. Fast forward about 30 minutes and I've checked my bags and I'm saying bye to my dad. I can't wait to see them all again in October! I checked my flight and found that I would be delayed 30 minutes... then an hour... and then we boarded the plane, sat there for about 30 minutes while soothing music and movies on nature played and then we were told that there was a malfunction on the plane and we had to

switch planes.

Luckily they caught that before we took off. I would much rather be 3 hours delayed and still be able to work for Disney than be dead. So we boarded the plane and I prayed that I could make it on time for my connecting flight in LA.

As we pulled up to the gate I had about 15 minutes before the plane was to take off, luckily our plane unloaded fast and I was able to get onto the flight to Florida. However, one of my bags seems to have had a disagreement with the other and they needed some separation time. While the large red bag (that is the more important bag) had no trouble getting on the plane, my other one had some issues with this concept. After waiting at the Orlando airport for a sign of my luggage I was helped out by a very nice (looking) mannered employee and he immediately helped me to locate the missing bag (Did I mention he had an accent? That seems like it should be important). I had be afraid that my bag had been mistaken for another's and that it was on it way to someone's hotel, but luckily that isn't the case. It just didn't make the flight, so now it's on another flight that'll be landing around 10am.

Other fun news, I was woken up on the airplane to see THIS face, Justin Bieber. Yeah, i thought that I was suffering from a nightmare... and unfortunately I wasn't. It was a full length movie on the boy followed by him messing with his crew, getting owned by said crew, and then being chased by a hoard of teenage girls. With a slow-motion whip of your head you too could have the Bieber look! :( It could be worse, and it became worse! Next I woke up to an image of Alec Baldwin on the T.V. screen... 'Nuff said.

Now I'm just waiting at the airport for about 7 am local time to check in for the shuttle and then to go to my new apartment. Yay Disney!!! ...

Packing

So I'm going to be leaving tomorrow, that means packing today. I've thought about it and I've decided that packing sucks, so I might as well watch some Lord of the Rings! While packing I'll have to add some clocks as well, just to make life interesting at the airport. ;) haha, naw, I couldn't do that, I'm on my way to Disneyworld!!! Excited, but I have a ton of stuff to do beforehand...

Getting Ready!

Well everybody! I've made the blog!

Today I gave a talk in church, things that matter most. Kevin came by and he mentioned to me afterwards that I managed to look like an evil librarian and a teacher at the same time. Conveniently I also mentioned in my talk rare books and children! So apparently, win WIN! Woohoo.

Anyways, I am really going to miss my friends and family here in California. I already miss my friends and family in Idaho, and I'm missing my family in Texas, too.

'Nuff said.

Okay, so I'm leaving for Disney World on Tuesday evening so I can check in BRIGHT and early on Wednesday morning! So as a sleep deprived college student I will be getting my employee ID photo taken, and hopefully I will be able to do just fine. :)

Anyways, the hopes are that I will be able to update this blog weekly, or when anything neat or cool happens. :)

Until next time...
