I am now in my 5th week at Disney and much has happened since I last posted!
The more I work here, the more I like the job that I am doing. I have been out with the team quite a few times now and they really are a lovely group of people. I understand the job quite well now and though I still make mistakes every now and again I definitely know what I am doing overall. Saying that, yesterday I opened the station at Discoveryland too early, I looked like some mad woman running to catch up with the long queue of guests to stop them getting into the station!
Next week I am being moved to Big Thunder Mountain to do 5 days of training there so that I can work on that attraction too. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Overall it is good to be moving onto others things especially as I am here for longer than almost all the other people my age who leave in August, but even so I don't want to work on the Steam Train less haha. I really have become attatched to those trains! Plus everytime I have told one of the older workers that I am going to BTM (Disneylingo for Big Thunder Mountain) they all say how hard it is and how the group isn't very good and its very stressful! I remember how hard the first times at Steam were and I dread to think what this will be like! BUT it is a good oportunity to practise my French even more and learn new vocab and I guess a challenge is always good so I will update on that when I have finished it. The cowboy costume is miles better anyways :)
I have been to karaoke 3 times now and I love it lol, it s atradition now and I'm a bit of a regular. First time I sang YMCA with a group of us. Then 2nd week we sang Spice Girls Wannabe and I sang A Whole New World with a Hungarian friend and Spanish friend, which was quite a treat I'm sure! Last monday it was the goodbye of my Spanish friend Pere who has finished his contract already so there were about 30 of us there in the end and I sang Its Raining Men as a duet with him haha, first up and everything! Its really sad he's gone he always cheered up Main Street station.
My roommate Sophie left last week too because of problems with a friend back home, which was soooo sad because she was my closest friend here. Its very quiet in the room without her and I miss having her around but its kind of got me to go out with more different people and I am especially good friend's with a Hungarian girl from Steam called GyGy :)
I went out a lot last week actually as it was also an English guiys birthday and then I also went to Paris 'clubbing' for the night with some girls. That was a complete disaster as we never actually got in the club. We went to some guys apartment which was like a millionaire's flat and really surreal with these really god looking guys and velvet carpets, chinese vases and paintings, with opera programmes just strewn around the floor. Then one of them turned out to be a professional musician and serenaded us. Turned out they didn't want to go clubbing with us in the end and my friend was feeling pretty rough so we lef tin the end but did go and try to find the club. The station entrance was closed though so we found another club but weren't allowed in! It was 2.30 by this point so I don't know if it was too late or if they'd thought we'd drunk too much or what but it was so bad. We had to get a taxi to the bus station (though the view of Paris as we drove in the night was BEAUTIFUL) then we got a night bus for 2 hours where my friend got off at the wrong stop for her hotel and had to wait 2 more hours alone for the first train! Then the other 3 of us finally got to Val D'Europe the near by town and had to walk from there to home. We finally stumbled in at 6am. I wasted sooo much money on travel but atleast it was a story to remember!
I am seeing my parents and Yasmin next week yaaaay :D I can't wait and best of all is I have one day off when they are here! I only found that out today as I was doing training on BTM so thought it would be impossible to swap but it's all worked out :) They arrive on 10th and will go to the park free with my tickets I get then I will meet them there after work. 11th I will meet them in Paris after work and stay the night there then I have the next day off to spend in Paris with them. I feel rather out of touch with everything back home so it will be so nice to see them. Plus I have a million and one things I want my mum to bring for the next 3 months and I need to give her some stuff back so that is always useful! I will be shattered that week though with doing the training aswell.
I also now have 19th August off as my Germnan friend wanted to swap a dfferent day with me. This kind of works for me with it being A level results day and all :/ Even though I am abroud I have thought about it quite a lot, but all I can do is wait I guess, my sister and mum will go get them at 10.
I'll end my update here as its 11 and I'm chatting it up in reception so night night England. Lots of love from Paris xxxx
