Sometimes Work Feels Like Play

It still amazes me how quickly time goes by here at Disney. I'm pretty sure today is Saturday, but the days just go by so fast that I'm never 100% positive. My days have been filled with mostly working. I haven't been to the parks since...the other day. I don't remember what day it was (Monday?), but I did go to Hollywood Studios at some point, which was such a long day, but definitely fun!

Laura, Leah, and I were planning on going to see the Fantasmic show that night, but it ended up being canceled about 5 minutes after it started because one of the projectors wasn't working! I felt bad for those people that might have been leaving the next day and didn't get to see the show. It's so worth seeing! But even though we didn't get to see the show that night (which was fine with me really because it was so humid, my clothes were soggy) we did meet another college program participant who offered to make us dinner because he felt bad that it was canceled. Hey, free food. Why not?

I haven't had a chance to head to a park since Monday. Working takes up so much time. But most the time it doesn't feel like work. I do a dance almost every hour, I make Nemo look like he's swimming, and today I probably spent a good hour to hour and a half of my 8 1/2 hour shift talking to kids and listening to them get super excited about seeing Lightning McQueen, Dory, and Scar outside. I feel like I'm just getting paid to be a fool in Mickey ears, and I'm not sad about it. Although when you work until 12:30 am, it doesn't feel so fun anymore.

The just posted the listings of Professional Internships, so I'm starting to think about that as an option for after I'm finished with my program. A Guest Services Internship actually sounds super appealing to me, so we'll have to see if I can get it! I never really thought about staying in Florida when I first got here, but I'm not writing it off anymore. 

I have to say though, this impending hurricane may change my mind.
