I've reached the 2 month mark and am still surviving the Disney experience ... just! Unfortunately I have been ill this last week so not sleeping very well and feeling lousy at work but it finally seems to be passing thank god! Lots of people at work have had the same thing.
Right I will try and start from the beginningish of the month and explain things in a vaguelly chronological way seeing as its been nearly a month since my last post! Hmmm Well there was results day which was strange being here so far away from it all, looking back I really should have booked a eurostar back for that day and taken some time off, silly Naomi! Not sure how I would have paid for that though to be fair. My Belgium friend Niek took me out to Cafe Mickey in the Disney Vilage though that eve and we had a really nice time, not quite school disco at Stonehouse but we had lots of fun taking pictures with the characters and generally being big kids. He is training to be an actor so we get on really well and seem to have lots on common :)
I have been out to Paris twice in the night this month. First time was at Duplex with a czech girl and then 3 people from work, my English friend Ben, Mikk the Estonian and Elisa a Finnish girl. We went on a Sunday so it wasn't too busy and overall a good night if a little crazy! Then a couple of weeks ago I went to a bar called Cafe Oz with Elisa again and my German friend Laura. It was a reeally cool australian bar which at night turns into a club. They push all the tables aside and everyone dances on the table and the drinks were reasonably cheap! It did close at 4.30am which did mean we were waiting for the first metro for an hour or so, but it worked out ok and had a really god night.
I did my training at BTM and it was very tough there are so many procedures etc. I much prefer Steam Train I have to say, ti definitely made me realise how attatched I am to the team there and I really like the job so whenever I am at BTM I am not too happy. I also may have pressed the wrong button when dispatching a train a caused the attraction to break down! They were not pleased at all and since I have only been on outside positions and not controlling! I am working there all this week though so they may give me a refresh or somehting. I have my hours up to 16th now and I am thinking I will come back end of Sept instead of extending to Oct. I am enjoying it here but I have thought of lots of things to do at home before I go to Finland in January and one person can only take so much Disney! Tiffany said she can hopefully come see me this month too which would be loverly!
As the summer is over and the peak season has ended I have started 10 hours of work a day with 3 days off. I have only done one day that long so far and it really took up the whole day. I woke up for work at 9 and then didn't get home till after 9 in the eve. Another day off though will be nice, I will try and do some more touristy things in Paris. Almost all my friends have left because they were only staying the summer so I have had to say goodbye to so many people which is sad, especially the people I am closest to. I have already planned to go see my Hungairan friend in Budapest when I am back home and Niek wants to come to London which would be great. It was so strange at work as there is usually 20 of us working and there were only 10 instead!
This also means that I have had to move residence as I was staying in a hotel before that was being used only for the summer as the Disney residences were full. I have now moved into the Boisserie a fulltime Disney resdince and arrived today. I am with an Italien girl and 2 French girls so will be speaking French at home all the time too which will be a great intense French experience for the last month when I really want to keep getting better before I leave. I haven't actually met the two French girls yet but the apartment is really nice. It may not be the 4 star hotel but ti is a lot cosier and ther is lots of space. I am lucky because some people have apartments of 6 but we are only 4. There is a really big room with Kitchen, liunge and Dining room in it, then two doors lead of to two corridoors each with a bathroom and bedroom for 2. There are lots of bits and bobs everywhere and it seems really like I home so I think my roommate may have lived in the apartment for a long time as I know the other Italien arrived today like me and she says her roommate has only been here 2 months, I will ask her when I meet her. It really reminds me of my aunt Anne's flat in Finland, all open plan and lots of trinkets everywhere. I could see myself living happily here. Also my Spanish and Finnish work friends are at the same residence as they are 2 of the 3 short contract people who are staying on at work because they are doing 6 month contracts which finish end of Sept. That makes it nice and I went to the supermarket earlier with Elsa earlier.
I will try and get to bed now it is neary 11(I'm alone in the apartment atm), as I have a loong day at work tomorrow and want to feel better for that! Night night England not too long till I see you dear xxxx
