gross garbage

so yesterday i was begged to skip class, because i'm young and i need to live my life and i need to do things and have fun. i am so glad i didn't skip class. corporate analysis wasn't held in the classroom at one of the housing complexes as usual - it was in magic kingdom. our class was split into groups of five and we had to first go on the assigned ride and answer a few questions about it. after that we had sort of a treasure hunt to find hidden mickeys in specific locations and find out the answers to trivia questions. the last part was that we had to go downstairs in the tunnel and go on a computer and research some things on a disney website. it was pretty fun, and it was nice to hang out with the people from my class in not such a 'professional' environment. (i put professional in quotes because while we have to dress professionally and we're in the corporate analysis class, our teacher is amazing and totally laid back and it doesn't feel so blah.) after class was done, we hung out for a little while longer, and then i went and visited some of my main street friends that were working and got some more pictures, which was nice. after that, i came home and we had a movie night. we went and rented four movies but only ended up watching one. i don't know why we always set such high standards for movie nights. from the time i was a little kid and a movie night was planned, tons and tons of movies would be in the lineup and only one or two would ever get watched. it was nice to have a chill night in preparation for work today.

today i worked over eleven hours. it was my first day working since my assessment. for the majority of the day i was behind the counter, filling orders and serving guests there food, and helping them carry trays every so often when they had their hands full with children or lots of food. time went super fast there because i was always, always busy. around nine thirty i got a new assignment to hep close the dining room. i have definitely not worked that hard since i have gotten here. making the whole dining room "show ready" by cleaning tables, sweeping, cleaning the garbage cans, taking the garbage to the chute, and other tasks that resulted in me feeling absolutely disgusting, not feeling my feet, back aching and over exhausted. it really wasn't so bad when i was doing it but the after-effects are killing me. but to be honest, i really don't mind. i feel after just this one day of work, i can handle anything and my future jobs will be a breeze after having this to compare it to.  and i really don't mind the hard work. i was expecting hard work when i came. it's the gross garbage all the time that gets to me. but i hear i'll get accustomed to it. when i got home and got in the shower, i didn't want to get out. i could've stayed in there forever. three months of this is definitely going to be physically taxing but i know it's going to be very beneficial.

anyways, i just wanted to write a quick post to update but sleep is my priority right now. only nine and a half hours tomorrow! missing barbados' beauty every day and i am so thankful i have such an amazing place to boast about when people ask me questions. it really is pituresque and it always brings a smile to my face. sending lots of love from disney!
