I called in sick today. But I'm not sick. I'm just done. lol. This week sucked. But good new is that my extension got denied so I'm for sure going home in January. YAY!!! Another reason why I'm done. And if you know me, when I'm done with something I'm DONE! So now I just have to try to make it through the next month and half. I'm closing next Thursday...yes, Thanksgiving. Of course I am. And of course it's the latest shift I've had so far. I work 3:30 to 9:30. We almost failed our inspections. Yet another reason why I'm done...roommates. I'm not even going to go into that just becuase I'm tired of ranting about it. Stupid guest...another reason. I was at Safi and a guest asked me if the Hippo was a Rhino............
Good news it that graduation is in my future. I got the email a couple days ago saying that the even is December 10th. Yay! I'm almost there. The trouble is that I'm going to REALLY want to come home after that day. Ugh...if I could get all my stuff on a plane I totally would to. And be home for Christmas... :(
Well that's about it. I'm going to go watch more reruns of Grey's Anatomy.
I MISS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!
It's possible with Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust

BEST.WEEKEND.EVER.
I’ve had the last four days off and they were amazing! First
of all I spent Halloween night doing laundry and packing. Super lame I know.
Lol. But my mommy flew in the next day so I really didn’t care about being
lame. Stephen was supposed to come with her, but due to his leg hurting he
didn’t get to come. I was super upset when mom told me he wasn’t coming, but
then I was totally ok because that just meant I got to spend the whole weekend
with my mom! So I went to the resort to check in that morning and our room was
ready so I got to drop my luggage off and see our room. We got to stay in the
Fantasia building!
So after I checked in Michelle took me to the airport so I
could meet mom when she got off the plane. Well that was an adventure in
itself! So Michelle and I get lost every time we get in the car together because
we talk a lot and she has no since of direction. Lol. So what was supposed to
be at most a 45 minute trip ended up taking 2 hours! We stopped by Property
Control first and ended up leaving town about 30 minutes later than scheduled,
but we should have been fine. (By the way I got a bag, a cup, and a super cute
Food and Wine jacket at PC). So we FINALLY get to the airport. Just in time. I
got there about 10 minutes after mom landed. We got the rental car and headed
straight to Cocoa Beach !
We were sooo excited! We ended up eating dinner at Coconuts on the Beach. We
sat on the patio and go to eat facing the beach. It was perfect! And it was
beautiful. The high that day ended up being in the early 90s. Then before we
left we walked on the beach and put our feet in the water. I’m so glad I got to
go to the beach before I left.
Then on the way out we stopped by a REAL Ron Jon
shop. Lol. It was pretty cool and I got a discount there. So when we got back
into Orlando we went to the
Polynesian to have a Dole Whip and watch Hallowishes. It was the last Halloween
Party of the season. It was awesome!
The next day we got up at 6 (GROSS) to get ready and head to
Hollywood Studios because resort guest got Extra Magic Hours. This is where the
park is open an hour early just for guest staying at the resorts. So we went
just ride Toy Story Mania because the wait is over two hours during regular
park hours. So we rode it and then left to go to Epcot. At this point it
started to rain :/ But we were going to make the most of the day. We went
straight to Soarin’ because that ride also has a ridiculous wait throughout the
day. We only had to wait about 20 minutes and it was so worth it. I love that
ride. It’s a hang gliding simulator ride. When we left Soarin’ it was POURING! So
we ran to Figment. Rode Figment which was amazing. (That was the only ride mom
absolutely had to ride before she left). Then we went next door and watched
Captain EO. After all that we were ready to hit the World Showcase which meant
FOOD AND WINE! J
Long story short we ended up going around twice and ended up leaving the park
feeling pretty good.
We did stop in Japan
because I had a surprise for mom. In Japan
they have “Pick a Pearl ”. This is
where you pick an oyster and you get the pearl that’s inside and then you can
turn it into a ring or a necklace. So we both picked a pearl! (And with my
holiday discount it was that much more awesome). We turned our pearls into
matching rings that we both LOVE!
And then mom ended up getting a Food and Wine
jacket just like mine because they were on sale for half off and 40% off on top
of that because of my discount. So the day was turning out to be pretty
perfect.
THIS IS MY ULTIME FAVORITE PICTURE!!!
So after Epcot we headed back to Hollywood .
We watched the Lights, Motor, Action stunt show, met some characters...
AND rode Tower
of Terror . Which was HILARIOUS! Now
first of all, it was mom’s idea to ride it. She wanted to! Until we were
strapped in of course. Lol. I thought she was ok until the first drop and she
was IN MY LAP!!! She had a death grip on my arm and her head in my chest! I
didn’t have a chance to scream because I was laughing so hard! And of course we
got the ride with the extra drop and I thought she was going to squeeze my arm
off. So freaking funny!
The picture doesn't do what happend justice...
Then we ended the night with Fantasmic. We ended up
going back to the resort around 7:30
because we were sooo exhausted! And I have never been more excited to fall back
ever. That extra hour of sleep was so needed.
Then the next day we did it again. Up at six and on to
Animal Kingdom for Extra Magic Hour. We did the Safari first thing and then I
gave mom a private tour of Pangani. Lol. Then we did the Safari again, rode
Dinosaur, and ate at Yak and Yeti.
Then we headed to Magic
Kingdom !
We caught the 3:00 parade, had the best frozen lemonade, rode
Winnie the Pooh, Pirates of the Caribbean , Jungle
Cruise, Small World, and met Mickey Mouse. Who TALKED!!! Omg…I wish I could
have seen my face when we walked into the room and Mickey started talking! It was
awesome!
Then we were going to stay for Wishes, but we still had three hours
and I was freezing and exhausted.
So we decided to go to Downtown Disney and
have a good dinner and just hang out. Which was like the best decision ever! We
ate at Paridisio which was so good. It was a great way to end our trip.
Saying
goodbye the next morning was seriously the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a
long time. I ended up staying in my room all day crying and sleeping. Lol. I
wouldn’t trade that time with my mom for anything.
So needless to say I’m sooo ready to come home! J

DAK After Dark, GKTW, and Extensions
Omg…it’s almost been a month since my last entry. Sorry!
That just means LOTS to talk about.
On the top of my list…mom and Stephen will be here in three
days!!! I am in definite need to some home so I absolutely cannot wait. I spend
my whole shifts daydreaming about what were going to do. I went to the resort
the other day to finish paying off the room. We’re staying at All Star Movies.
Not my top choice, but cheap. Today I actually thought I could get Autumn down
here too, but that didn’t happen and I ended up crying in the middle of Magic
Kingdom . I finally got to talk to
her for the first time in two weeks and said she could of came this weekend
because her exam got cancelled so of course I immediately looked up plane
tickets. But long story short she can’t come because she’s being academically
responsible L
STUPID COLLEGE !
But anyway…extension applications came out last week. So
about a week before the email came I was 100% sure I was coming home in
January. Even the morning I got the email and read it I was sure I wasn’t going
to apply and come home. Well…the same day the email showed up Maria (my awesome
roomie from my last program) text me at work to let me know I needed to extend
because she got accepted in the spring program. UGH…so now I don’t know what
I’m going to do. I went ahead and applied for an extension, but I honestly
don’t know if I’m going to accept it. It depends on what the offer me and how I
feel that day. Lol. My choices were photopass photographer, bibbidy bobbity
boutique, recreation, and same job same location. So I don’t know…..
So one of the reasons why I wanted to do another program was
so I could volunteer at Give Kids the World again. Well I did! Twice. I tried
to get Fridays off so I could go every week, but that didn’t happen. So a
couple weeks ago I gave away my Sunday shift and my Friday shift so I could go.
I LOVE THE VILLAGE! Sunday was the Candy Land party. (Every night at the
village is something different, but it’s the same every week. Monday is
Halloween, Tuesday is Mayor Clayton’s birthday, Wednesday is Village Idol,
Thursdays is Pirate and Princess Party, Friday is Winter Wonderland, and
Saturday is something lol.) The Candy Land party was super fun. The playground
is a life size Candy Land board and the families get to play on it. So my job
was to take the families around the board. So many precious children!!! Then
Friday was Winter Wonderland so it was Christmas in the village. I went with a
co-worker Friday and we had an awesome time! We got to be ballerinas in the
Christmas parade. Then we got to dance in the snow with the kids. I’m really
hoping I get to go back before I leave.
So it’s Halloween. And of course us here in Disney have been
celebrating since the beginning of September. I’m kind of happy it’ll all be
over next week. So every year Animal Kingdom throws a Halloween party just for
DAK cast members. It’s called DAK After Dark. After the park closes we get to
hang out. Dinoland stays open and we get to play the carnival games, Asia
becomes like a haunted house, there’s a costume contest, pumpkin carving
contest, a DJ, and free food! It was last week and it was pretty fun. Cast
parties are always the best. It did kind of suck that I had to close the
village that night so I was an hour late and it was the cold! I have officially
turned in all my shorts and traded them for pants and I’m wearing my long
sleeve shirt every day. It’s actually beautiful outside (lower 80s), but I’m
really cold nature.
Soooo….I bought another camera….I couldn’t take it anymore!
Standing there every day watching people with their cameras taking pictures was
torture. Lol. So I convinced my roommate to drive me to Best Buy and I just did
it. And I’m a much happier person now J
So funny stories about work…yesterday I was at Safi
with the hippo and I was talking to a family about a fish that is broken. He
hangs out by the same window and he’s pretty much bent in half. When I first
saw him I thought he was dying, but he’s been there for about a week now. I
don’t know what’s wrong with him, but of course everyone who sees him asks me
what’s wrong or if he’s dying. So I was talking to this family and we were
talking about the fish and then we switched the conversation to the hippo and
how it’s the most dangerous animal in Africa and how it’s tusks were huge and
could do some damage. Well the little girl of the family who was about 9
thought we were still talking about the broken fish. The look on her face was
priceless! Omg…I laughed so hard. She pointed to the fish and said, “That thing
is the most dangerous animal in Africa ”?! LOL. So
funny….
My other story is from a couple days ago. I was in research
and I was standing where I always stand by the bullfrog tank. On the wall
behind me is the Madagascar
hissing cockroaches, the scorpion, and our tarantula. So I’m standing there
talking about the bullfrogs (which kept being referred to as the Harry Potter
frogs because they’re so big. I’ve been here for three months and have never
heard anyone reference HP, but I heard it from FIVE different guest this day!)
and I had a guest ask me if the tarantula was dead. I said, “No, it’s alive”
without thinking twice about it. I mean I have people ask if the Hippo is a
robot all the time. So later in the day I’m in research again and another guest
ask if it’s dead again. So now I’m wondering what the heck is going on. I
actually go over to look and sure enough the humungo spider is on it’s back! I
was like, “yeah, it’s alive…..”. LOL. So I had to try to get a hold of an
animal keeper which was a lot harder than it should have been. They don’t
really know how to communicate. Rotation came through before someone came to
see what was going one, but later on the whole cage was missing. I asked
someone what happen and they said that they thought the spider was molting. I
was like uh…it looked pretty dead to me! But sure enough the next day the
animal keeper came up to me and showed me that it did molt. She showed me a cup
with a tarantula in it, but it was just its skin. It was so weird! So no dead
tarantula. Lol.
Crowds are getting larger and it’s awful. I am not looking
forward to real holiday crowds. People become stupid when they come to Disney.
I HATE when people just stop in the middle of the walkway or walk like a
turtle!
Grocery bingo was last night. It was at the Chatham
field so we had to sit in the grass, but it was better than last time. I had a
WAY better card and actually almost won this time. Lol. And we got candy and
there was a costume contest.
So there’s an update! Sorry it took so long. I would say
I’ll be better, but I’d just be lying. Lol.

Penny Smashing
So I’ve become lazy. Big shocker I know. Lol. I’ve now
become the old me where I come home, eat, and watch netflix until I fall
asleep. Lol. But don’t give up on me yet. I told myself when I got accepted
that I would keep this blog up no matter what.
So work was interesting this past week to say the least. Let’s
see…one day I almost stepped on a snake on the way to the bus stop. I’m
surprised I didn’t freak out more than I did. I just kind of stood there and
watched is wiggled itself across the sidewalk. But I am hoping I never come
across another one. It was descent size too. Stretched out I’m sure it would
have reached all the way across the sidewalk. And then on the same day that
happened one of the Disney buses ran right into the concrete barrier driving
into Animal Kingdom. So cast members and Disney buses take this back road into
the park instead of going through the main entrance. And this back road is
divided (by a concrete barrier) into two lanes and somehow a bus driver just
drove right into it. With guest on board of course. It was a huge mess and took
FOREVER to clear. So getting to work was super fun that day. Good thing I
always take a bus that’s going to get me there an hour early.
So I witnessed something very rare while at Gorilla Outpost
the other day. So when you’re in Gorilla
Valley it’s not a big surprise when
the males on the bachelor side fight. And when I say fight I mean chase each
other for two seconds. It’s very rare they ever get physical. I’ve seen one
physical fight on the male side. But it’s SUPER rare to ever see the females on
the family side fight. So I was standing at outpost and I had a pretty big
crowd because Gino, the one male on the family side was visible, and Azizi and
Lilly (the baby) were next to the glass. Now Azizi and Lilly (three years old)
are like best friends and play all the time together. And that’s what they were
doing. But today Lilly was being a little more ornery than usual. Usually she
just hits Azizi until she grabs her or chases her. Well today I watched her
throw dirt at Azizi and then run up and hit her and throw a ball at her and
then she started biting her. Now the biting is normal but Lilly was obviously
not getting the attention she wanted and was seriously biting her harder than
normal. Well I guess Azizi got fed up with her and bit Lilly back. And I guess
she was taking it a little too far because out of no where Kashata (Lilly’s
mom) came running over the hill and just attacked Azizi. They were both
standing on their feet with teeth showing and everything. Well after about two
second of that Gino (who has been sitting watching everything) stepped in. All
he had to do was get on all fours and take a few steps forward for them to
completely stop. So after that mom sat right where she could see Lilly and
Azizi tried to walk off, but Lilly is a little brat and kept trying to play.
But I think she finally got the hint and just sat by herself. It was the
craziest thing I’d ever seen. And of course I then had to try to explain what
happened about 50 times to everyone who was watching. But it was pretty exciting.
I did have a pretty bad day Monday which is my Friday. I
pack my lunch and get to work early so I can eat in the break room. Well right
before I walked in the break room I realized I forgot my water bottle at home.
Now my water bottle is crucial part of my day! I drink about 3 or 4 bottles a
day. So I was super upset mainly because I had brought lunch and had nothing to
wash it down with. But I remembered there being a soda machine down at the
outside break room. So I went down there and swiped my card and it accepted it,
but when I pushed a button nothing happened. So I tried that about three more
times and nothing. So I tried cash…yeah that didn’t work either and it just ate
my money. That really ticked me off. So I was just in a pissed off mood the
rest of the day and you could totally tell. Pretty much everyone who talked to
me that day just annoyed me. And then on top of that I had to close and it
poured and I had to wait 45 minutes for the bus and then it took almost two
hours to get home because tourist don’t know how to drive and someone flipped
their car over so traffic was at a standstill FOREVER. So needless to say I’ve
really enjoyed my two days off.
I got up early (9:00
lol) to go to Breakfast in Bed grocery bingo. Yeah that was a total fail. None
of my roommates went but I ran into a co-worker so we sat together. Now I love
grocery bingo because it’s fun and if you win you get a TON of FREE groceries.
I’ve missed the last two because I’ve been working so I was super excited to go
to this one. Well that excitement did not last long. We all did get free
luggage tags just for showing up, but that all I got :/ My co-worker won about
three rounds in. She also won last time she went!! So not fair. I swear I had
the worst card ever. They barely called any numbers I had. And if you were one
or two away from winning you were suppose to stand up…yeah I never got to stand
up that’s how bad my card was. We did play this one round called stinko bingo
where everyone stood up and if they called a number you had on your card you
had to sit down and the last person standing with no numbers called won. I
ALMOST had it. I was literally only one number away…it was awful. Lol. So I
went home empty handed. There’s one more in October. If I’m not working I might
go. Lol.
So after bingo I decided to go to the Magic
Kingdom and do some penny smashing.
I went alone because no one else had the day off. But that was ok because I
like to have some me time every now and then. So before I moved down here I saw
something super awesome on Pinterest. It was a bracelet made out of smashed
pennies. (You know those pennies you get out of the machines at amusement
parks). Well once I saw that I knew that was something I was going to do. So I
had a bunch of pennies and quarters in a baggie and was ready to go. But when I
got to the park I couldn’t find a single machine! Lol. Now I know Disney has
them because I’ve seen them. So I asked someone and they said that Guest
Relations actually had MAPS of where all the penny press machines are. I was
like NO WAY! So not only did I get a map of Magic
Kingdom , I got a map of all four
parks, Downtown Disney, and the resorts! I got really excited really fast. It
quickly became my new favorite hobby! I felt like I was on a scavenger hunt.
The map only give you a general idea of where the machines are, but then you
have to actually find them. For example…there are three machines in the
Emporium shop. Well the Emporium stretches all the way down Main
Street and has multiple rooms. So it was super fun.
And there are sooo many machines. I ended up doing Magic
Kingdom and some of Epcot before I
ran out of quarters. And I was exhausted from doing so much walking. But
definitely something I will continue to do and my bracelet is going to be
awesome.
Today was my last day off and always like having a day where
I do pretty much nothing. That was today. Lol. Well I did run to Walmart and
cleaned. But other than that I’ve been watching netflix with the roomies all
day. They were watching the Walking Dead when I woke up. So everyone has been
raving about this show and I’ve never watched it just because I don’t really
care for zombies. But now that I’ve seen it I really don’t understand why
anyone would watch it! It’s soooooo gory…..like disgustingly gory. I mean I
kind of liked the suspense, but I just couldn’t get past the blood and guts.
Eehhhh. Lol. But I have now completed the second season of Baby Daddy. So
funny. I told Autumn about it and she sent me a very mean snap chat about how
she missed her nap because she was watching it. Lol. I miss her so much….
But on a happier note…I get to go volunteEAR at Give Kids
the World next week!! YAY! I’m always working on the days they go so I gave
away a couple shifts next week so I can go J I’m so freaking
excited.
So I had the room to myself for most of last week. Karie’s
mom came into town. That was more fantastic than you’ll ever know. One of the
only reasons why I wouldn’t extend would because I hate living with people…lol.
Just finished cleaning the kitchen again. We have inspections starting this
week. I’ve just accepted that I’m the only one who’s going to clean.
Well that’s about it. Oh I sent out post cards last week and
everyone is starting to get them! That made me super happy J
I don’t have to be at work until 2:30 tomorrow so I’m going to eat candy corn and watch
netflix for a while.

Auditions
Well auditions sucked. I didn’t make it past the first
round. There were sooo many people. I was number 401. I think there were over
600 CPs who showed up. Auditions started at 9:00 ,
but check in started at 8:00 . I got
there around 8:10 and the line was
already wrapped all the way around the building. So I waited in line forever.
Then I had to wait for them to call my group back. Then we had to wait in
another room. Then we had to wait in the hall. Then they took us to the
auditions room. It was ridiculous. They took us back in groups of about 50 and
we learned this super simple dance that is difficult if you’re not coordinated.
Lol. Four steps of marching, a jazz square while waving your hands in the air,
four steps of skipping, and two pivot steps while throwing your hands in the
air. We had to do it three times across the floor in groups of four. I was able
to do it pretty well (while smiling lol), but some people were just a hot mess.
Lol. I think they called five people out of our group to move on. One person was
really tall, one girl was shorter than me, and one girl did her dance WAY over
the top! Lol. So I don’t know what they were looking for. But I guess I can say
I’ve been there done that. I’ve done both types of auditions now, face and
character. I like face way better. You just stand there and look pretty. Lol.
One of my co-workers made it pass the first round, but not sure how far she
went. But she’s a music and theater major so I wasn’t surprised.
So I was pretty bummed after auditions. I tried not to get
my hopes up, but it would have been nice to make it past the first round. Plus
I wasted my whole morning. Lol. I got done at 11:00 ,
but just missed the bus so I had to wait for the 11:45
bus =/ So I went home and took a nap. Lol.
The day before Michelle and I went to Hollywood
to pin trade. Always one of my favorite things to do in Disney. Then ended the
day watching Wishes at MK.
So the next time a person asks me how they keep the animals
from hunting or keep them separate on the Safari (because I get asked this at
least once a day) I’m just going to say that they’re trained not to kill each
other. I hate stupid people…
Well it’s Grey’sday!! I’m off to watch Grey’s Anatomy J
Oh here's the picture of the group that went to Food and Wine
Monday, September 30, 2013
Food and Wine
So today we did Food and Wine Festival at Epcot!
In the spring Epcot does the Flower and Garden Festival and in the fall they do Food and Wine. I got to see Flower and Garden at the end of my last program which was really amazing, but let’s be honest, everyone loves Food and Wine way more. Lol. So when I decided to do a fall program that was one of the things I was super excited about doing. We went with a group of Michelle’s co-workers and everyone was really cool so we had a great time. Food and Wine is definitely something to do with a group. That way everyone can get something different and you can share. So the way Food and Wine works is that along with the regular countries that are already in the world showcase there are extra booths set up from other countries that are usually not in the showcase. And out side each both is a sign that list the food and drinks that are available for that country. And it was relatively cheap. I was expecting the prices to be much higher. Everything was between $3 and $6. Now everything is small portions because you’re just sampling because there are so many booths. There’s usually two entrees and a dessert to pick from and about five drinks. So we started inBrazil .
And like I said, every time someone bought something we all tried it. So a
couple of the girls got a sparkling Moscato and it was one of my favorite
drinks of the day. Next I got a Pinot Grigio from Australia
that I was not a fan of. Which was disappointing because I usually like Pinots.
Then Michelle got a pork slider from Hawaii
that was pretty delicious. It had pineapple and spicy mustard on it. Then we
went to Mexico
and I got my usual nachos (that are not part of food and wine lol) that we all
ended up sharing. But we did get a couple of sangrias from the Mexico
booth that were extremely strong, but really good. Then I headed inside Mexico
(again not apart of food and wine) because I wanted a margarita. So I waaaayy
over paid ($16 drinking around the world is not cheap!) for an avocado
margarita. Everyone kept saying it was really good and it was the only frozen
one so I figured I would try it. Um…no! I thought it would get better as I kept
drinking it, but it didn’t. lol. I mean it wasn’t horrible. But you have to
have an acquired taste for it that I apparently didn’t have. So that was a
bummer. Especially since I started getting a headache after that. I think
drinking in the heat is what did it. I thought I was going to have to go home
because of course I didn’t have any pain meds with me, but Michelle is an
awesome roommate and found a gift shop with some Tylenol. So that kind of put a
damper on the day, but at least it didn’t blow up into a migraine. So we moved
on. We did skip a lot of the booths. This is something you can’t conquer in one
day. Lol. I think the next thing we got was food from Morocco .
Sooo good. I was going to get a chicken roll, but the guy said it was really
spicy so I got a Kefta Pocket. It was just seasoned beef in a Peta pocket, but
it was really good. Then some of the group got sushi and Sake from Japan .
The last drink we got was an Apple ice wine from Canada
that was sooooo good. Then we skipped some more booths and ended at the dessert
and champagne booth. I was really full from Morocco
so I didn’t get anything, but they have these things called frozen smores that
I have heard are like amazing. So I will definitely be getting one of those
before it’s over. It’s not over until November 11th so we have
plenty of time to go back and try more. There was a dish from Italy
and France I
really wanted to try as well. But it was a really fun day and like I said it’s
a lot of fun to do it with a group.
I also ran into one of my co-workers. Remember Craig from my assessment day? (The first time I met him one of our older co-workers introduced us as “Craig this is Megan and she’s single”). Lol. Well we’ve become really good friends so it was awesome running into him.
(Just realized I could make the pictures bigger). lol.

Oh we also harassed Katie while she was working. lol.
So after our adventure we were all wiped out! We came home
and took a much needed nap. Lol.
Oh I also bought a new purse this morning! So Vera Bradley
just came out with a new line for Disney. Like a couple weeks ago. Now I’m not
much into designer anything so I really wasn’t into the Vera Bradley thing
until I saw it. One of my co-workers showed me the wristlet she got and I liked
it and then I started seeing people with the side body bags and I really like
those. And I’ve been needing to get a bigger purse for when I go to the parks.
I have my small black one, but it’s just not big enough for all my stuff. So
since Michelle works at World of Disney she took me this morning before we went
to Epcot so I could get one. I wasn’t quite expecting the price to be so high.
I wanted the bigger side purse (there are two sizes), but I ended up getting
the smaller one because of the price (with my cast discount it was $50). But I
still love it. There are so many pockets and all my stuff fits just fine J
I’m glad Michelle went with me because she knew to look for one with good print
on it. They’re all different. Oh and then literally an hour after I bought it I
found out that our 40% discount started in two weeks……. =/ I was like
seriously??? But that’s ok.
OMG…so I went to Walmart after work last night so when I got
home I was already in a bad mood because I hate going to Walmart as a CP. (I
got off at 5:00 and didn’t get home until 8:00). Well when I walked into the
apartment I was just pissed that it’s so freaking dirty so I just started
cleaning. And cleaned for like three hours. We have inspections coming up too
so that’s another reason why I did it, but it just irritates me that no one
else cleans. Like I literally do the dishes every night when I get home. And
it’s just a mess. So I started with our bathroom because there was mold growing
in the sink and in the tub. So I scrubbed until I couldn’t scrub anymore. Then
I moved onto the kitchen which was just disgusting. And then I picked up the
living room which is like impossible because our dining room table is a catch
all for everyone’s crap. But I did pick up the floor that had trash all over
it. We don’t have a vacuum so I’m going to borrow one from the front desk soon.
I just can’t believe that we’re all adults and no one can clean up after
themselves. It’s irritating. I’m not meant to live with other people! Lol.
Oh I talked to one of my managers. I was trying to get
Fridays off as one of my regular days off because housing goes to Give Kids the
World every Friday and Sunday and I don’t get to go because I’m working. And as
one of my co-workers said, “That’s like my thing”. Lol. But she couldn’t do
anything for me. Which I thought was kind of stupid because I feel like she
could of if she really wanted to….but she did say I could request off a few
Fridays during my program and then she would try to give me a fifth day those
weeks so I don’t have three days off. So I guess that was nice. Lol. But I’m
still kind of bummed.
Mom and Stephen will be here in 31 days!!!
I got to skype Autumn tonight! I freaking miss her so much.(Just realized I could make the pictures bigger). lol.
