The shifts in bold are during my last week and as you can see they are horrific. One of them is little more than 8 hours away from the other and I need to allow 2 hours to get each way to and from work.
As you can see the next 12 days are going to be action packed and I'll be running on almost zero sleep. Anyway...that's next week, a quick update on what happened today now:
My morning was fairly boring I had to do my laundry and then caught the bus to work. Whilst on the bus I was facebook-ing Oriol as the idea of going to Seaworld on Tuesday before work popped into my head and it looks like it's going to happen. I was going to check the prices at Company D (cast member store) for SeaWorld tickets as we can get discounts but unfortunately it was closed on weekends.
There were a couple of moments to note today: At the end of Philharmagic there is an animatronic Donald Duck halfway through the wall and he falls through into a cloud of smoke. After the show ended a dad came up to me and asked me to reassure his little daughter that Donald would be OK and that he'd be in the next show as she was feeling sorry for him. It was cute and I got to make a little bit of magic and told her to come back again and she'd see that he'd be fine.
Gore warning: The other thing of note was that when I was greeting at the carousel I felt an itch on my leg - I looked down and found a cockroach climbing up my sock onto my leg and shaking my leg wasn't getting rid of it. Quick secret: those fastpass machines are full of roaches underneath...I see them come out and they are huge. The bins aren't much better. This also explains the bites on my leg that I had the other day. Horrible.
Finally, I mentioned earlier that today was day 5 of 9 in a row and surprisingly I don't feel extremely tired so I'm going to take that as a plus! Looking at that schedule though - ask me how I feel in 12 days time!
Quick note: to illustrate how crazy life is here on the college program note that I haven't even seen some of my housemates in over a week.
