The end is nigh!

I only have 10 days till I come home it is crazy! I have 5 work days left with 2 days at Steam and 3 at BTM. This month has been so much quieter than the 2 summer months which was always expected. 90% of the people I knew left so haven't really been partying it up anymore! I kind of liked the fact is was more relaxing though with the 3 days off (despite the 10 hours days!) and just relaxing when I'm home. Work seems to take up the whooole day here though as I will get up at 9 to get ready for work, then leave at 10 (stupide bus times) to get to costuming ready to start just before 12 and then I don't finish till 10 and by the time I get home its about 11.30!
Tiffany came to stay the other week and we spent one night in Paris togther and then one night in my apartment. It was soo nice to see her and forget about Disney for a bit. We did go to the park one day, but its always so different being a guest there when you are not working so it was nice to show her around. We spent the other two days in paris and actually got so much done. We weren't in a rush but we were very efficient we went to the flea market, Versailles, catacombs, orangerie museum, Shakespeare and co bookshop and latin quarter to name a few! The hotel room was nice aswell.
I've been sorting out stuff for leaving gradually, present shopping, attempting to get my eurostar tickets but failing miserably and my mum now has to send them from England which is annoying but can't be helped. I am on my 3rd day off today before back to work tommorrow, I went to Paris with Elisa yesterday and we went to the Paris science museum. It was happy hour apparently so we got student tickets for 3 euros and spent nearly all day there lol. We also went to a famous cemetary before and saw the graves of Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison and Chopin. Afterwards we went to see the arch of La Defence which was huuuge and then headed back home in the evening. I am going to a swimming pool with lots of slides called Aquaboulevard today with a German girl from BTM which will make a nice change. Not really sure where it is but I guess I will will wait and see!
I had one really hard day at work on Steam near the beginning of the month when it was a aturday evening. We had changed to only having one train and there were around 47,000 guests in the park so this was no way enough and we ended up with 2 hour queues at every station! Needless to say we had plenty of guest situations and the guests were all just shouting and complaining for the 30 minutes I had to wait alone at each station. Was actually quite scary when you have 400 guests in a queue that you are in charge of and all of them are shouting at you! Not fun! Also when the train left Fantasyland station everyone actually started booing really loudly! Oh the lovely guests of Disney. I spoke to people on other attractions and they said it was the same with some of them having worked there for ages and had never seen the guests that bad! I hope I don't experience that again before I leave but I'm not working at a weekend again so I should be safe lol.
I have already started making plans for when I go home as the last thing I want to do is be bored and fed up, I am going to make the most of my time back in the Shire and have a break too as I have been working since I finished my last exam! I have already planned to visit Laura in Southampton, then I am going to Hungary for 6 days to see my firend Gygy from Disney. Also at the beginning of November Niek is coming to stay for a long weekend and we have booked tickets to go see Legally Blonde and Mamma mia which will be great :D I am really quite concerned about my money and all that though. I know I have enough right now till I leave but there is no way it will last the whole 3 months at home with everything I want to do and I still want to save some. I will have to find some kind of work as soon a sposs when I go home which will be difficult to work around everything else I want to do. I hope it all works out I will just have to keep searching untill I find something!
This last week I hope to do a lot more fun things and go out etc to party before I leave! I am definitely heading off to Paris for the night one last time and hopefully will have a party here in la Boiserie. My next post will probably be when I am back in England aaah can't wait! Definitely time to come home and 'rentre chez moi'. Kohta kotiin! xxxxxxxxxx
