The week of the 13th was a crazy week at work. It was the week before Easter and everyone wanted to come to Disney! Sunday, I worked from 1:00PM to 7:00PM. I have been having a lot of 6 hour shifts, which is good and bad at the same time. It's nice because I get out earlier and I have time to do things or sleep. It's bad because my paychecks are a lot smaller :( Monday, Abby, Hannah, and I went to Winter Park. I hadn't been there since my parents dropped me off in January. We ate at brunch and got macaroons. The rose one was not what I expected. The rest of the night I binged watched 13 Reasons Why on Netflix. I had to keep watching because I wanted to know who was next and what was going to happen. I think I watched like 7 episodes. Tuesday, I relaxed and went grocery shopping. Abby and I went to get sushi that night for dinner. I hadn't had sushi since I got down to Orlando and had been craving it a lot! That night I went to Señor Frogs and I let loose for one of the first times this program. It was really fun to be out with all my coworkers and not be stressed about school or work. Stake n Shake was closed, so we went to IHOP instead. We didn't get back until 4:00AM. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all I did was work. I had pretty long shifts and we were really busy due to it being the week of Easter. After I finished working at Beaches on Easter Sunday, I went to Magic Kingdom. I thought since I got done at 7:30, I might at least enjoy some of my Easter. I met up with Zachary and his friend. We ate chocolate covered bananas, rode space mountain, and pirates of the caribbean. Monday, I had work at 3:30 to 10:30. When I went to work, I went to the restroom and my zipper broke! Glad I brought my apron! Niecy and all my other coworkers had a good laugh about it. It was pretty funny. Overall I don't mind the people at work, however, this day I was irritated. I had to do my job and someone else's job. I was doing fry and expo. The girl who was supposed to be on fry was always talking to the cook. Usually if it happens once or twice, I don't mind. I probably do the same thing. However, this happened all night long. You have these people at every job and I had forgotten about it. I'm near the end of my program and I'm tired of working and going to school. I'm getting burned out, so when I had to do my job and someone else's I was extra tired that night. Tuesday, I had off. I went to Magic Kingdom with Hannah. I met the Fairy Godmother, Peter Pan, and saw the Festival of Fantasy. I took the ferry back to the Grand Floridian and saw the chocolate eggs on display. They are amazing! I saw them being made a couple of months in advanced in the back of the hotel. It was great to see them finished and on display. My favorite is the American themed one. They also have them themed to most of the Disney movies. That night Zachary and I went to Hollywood Studios. We met Jake the Pirate, Sofia the First, Mickey, Minnie, Kylo Ren, Jawa's, and Chewbacca. We met up with Caroline and rode Tower of Terror, Rockin' Rollercoaster, and saw Fantasmic. That night, I went out to Señor Frogs with my coworkers again. Wednesday, I slept in, since I didn't get home until around 4:00AM. Then, I had work at 3:00 to 10:00PM. Thursday, I had off. Zachary and I went to Animal Kingdom for about 20-30 minutes to meet characters, but none of them where out when we went. Then we went to EPCOT and we ate and met characters. We met Snow White, Alice, and Aurora. Then we went to Magic Kingdom and met Ariel and ate dinner. I was craving Mac N' Cheese, so I was so happy when I found some. We left early because we were both exhausted. . Friday I had work 2:00 to 8:00PM. Saturday I had work 2:00 to 8:15. I got released early from work and I went to Magic Kingdom. I got my complimentary passes turned into actual tickets, so when Kyle, Lorena, Ciarra, Emily, and Sena come I could use fast passes. I stayed for Wishes and watched it on the train station with Main Street in view. It was a great place to watch it. I got to see every angle of the fireworks.

Sunday, I had work from 12:30 to 6:30. Since I was sick, I didn't do much after work. With how many things I want to do, work, and try to get enough sleep... No wonder I got sick! Monday, Sammie and I headed to the BEACH! We went to Clearwater Beach, which was about a 2 hour drive. We woke up at 8 and were there around 10:30. We stayed on the beach for 5 hours, until our parking time was done. Then, we ate dinner at Crabby's along the water. We had smoothies, fried pickles and fish and chips. Then, we packed up and drove back home. Tuesday, I had work from 6:30 to 1:30. It had been such a long time since I had worked a morning shift, I had to remind myself of everything. I basically ran around doing everything helping everyone out. After work, I went home and took a nap. Then, Sammie and I had plans to go to Magic Kingdom. We rode the Mad Tea Party, Big Thunder Railroad, It's a Small World, and Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. We watched Mickey's PhilharMagic show, ate Mickey pretzel's and soft serve ice cream, and watched wishes and the projection show. It was a great day at MK! Wednesday, I went to Magic Kingdom to work on a project for my Hospitality class. We had to do a park Audit. We reviewed Food & Beverage, Attractions, Merchandise, and Custodial. Overall, the people we audited did a good job. I can't imagine working in Magic Kingdom. We audited the Emporium, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, Peco's Bill, and a random custodian. We also rode the People mover and the Railroad. I left around 2 and then we straight to Universal. I met up with Maggie, Michelle, Molly, Kelly, Natalie, Julia, and Valerie. We rode the Mummy, Men in Black, and Gringots. Then we ate at the Leaky Cauldron, had Butter Beer, and saw JIMMY FALLON! Jimmy Fallon was the highlight of the day! We were all super excited, even though we only saw him for 10 minutes haha. When I got home, Abby and I went to IHOP. The IHOP spelt very bad and the AC was broke. We stuck it out and she gave me my OJ for free :) Then, I had to do my assignment for my HR class that was due the next day. Thursday, I had my HR class from 8:30 to 12:30. Then I drove to Daytona Beach to watch my grand little, Jessica compete in National's for cheerleading. I got to Daytona and needed to find an ATM, because the cheer competition only took cash. I went to the Hilton across the street. The ATM machine didn't take my card and kept saying error. I had 10 minutes to find cash and get in. I walked to the building thinking that they would have an ATM machine... It was broken. Somehow, I managed to walking into the building, not pay, and see my grand little perform right on time. They did great and went to finals the next day! After they were done completing, Jess and I stayed and watched the rest of the teams compete. Then we ate dinner at a local diner. It wasn't that great, but we needed something fast. Afterwards, Jess had to practice and we said goodbye. I took a walk on the beach before I left to go home. Friday, I had work from 1:30 to 7:30. Then, I went to the outlet mall to get fake Chipotle. It was really good! Saturday, I had work from 10:30 to 7:30 at beaches. It was been so long since I had been at beaches! It was nice to be outside. The day went by faster than it normally does. I got audited by Kyra and she said I did an amazing job and didn't have a bad thing to say!! YAY! :) I ended up staying a little later to help clean up and got out at 8:15. I met up with Zachary and Anna and Disney Springs. We got Blaze Pizza and got candy from Goofy's candy shop.
Sunday, I had an almost 12 hour shift from 10:15 to 10:00. SO all I did was work and sleep haha. Monday, my roommates and I went to SWIM WITH THE MANATEES!! Can you tell that I was super excited?? We woke up at 4:30 in the morning because it was about 2 hours away and our swim was scheduled at 7:15 in the morning (Yikes!). Normally Florida is warm, however this day was a cold one. When we looked at the temperature in Sammie's car was 40 degrees!! :( At least we would have wetsuits. The whole experience was super cool. We got dressed in our wetsuits, went out on the boat to where the manatees are, and slowly got in the water. They were circling our boat and they were huge! They were mostly friendly and would let you pet them. One even grabbed onto a guy and didn't let go for around 5 minutes! Some would turn on their bellies and want a belly rub! It was such a great experience! Next time, I'm going when its warmer out! After swimming with the manatees we ate at a local diner, which was really good. Then we drove home, took a nap, and went to see Beauty and the Beast! IT WAS AMAZING!! I even cried 3/4 times. I don't know if it was lack of sleep or how amazing it was... but still! Lastly, it was Free Cone Day at DQ, so Hannah, Abby and I got free cones! Tuesday, I had work at 8:30 to 3:45. I forgot my name tag, so I was Rosario from Quincy, WA haha. After work, I went to Animal Kingdom. I watched the Festival of the Lion King and then Kelly met up with me. We rode Everest, Dinosaur, and watched some of the street performers. Then, Valerie met up with us and we ate and tried to watch the first showing of Rivers of Light, but it was full. So, Kelly went home, and Valerie and I rode Everest and Dinosaur. Then we got 3rd row seats for Rivers of the Light. IT WAS SO GOOD! It had amazing light projections. I had never seen anything like it. Wednesday I had class from 8:30 to 12:30 and work from 3:30 to 11:00. Then Thursday I had class from 8:30 to 12:30 and work from 4:00 to 11:30. Wednesday I thought work started at 4:00 and not 3:30. I woke up from a nap and only had 40 minutes until my shift. I ran to get ready, drove like crazy to work, and still made it on time! Amazing! Friday, both Sammie and I had off. We went to the grocery store first, because we both had like no food. Then, we decided we wanted to resort hop! We started at the Beach and Yaught Club. We walked around the grounds and then ate at Beaches n' Creme. We had the Kitchen Sink, which is 8 scoops of ice cream, every topping you can thing of, and a whole can of whipped cream. It says it feeds 4 people, but Sammie and I wanted to try to eat it all... We failed miserably and only ate like half. Afterwards, we walked around the boardwalk. I got a Monsters University hat and we split fried mac n' cheese. Then we went to the Animal Kingdom Lodge and saw all the animals. Saturday I had work from 12:45 to 9:30. Sunday, I had work from 6:30 to 1:30. After work, I took a nap and then met up with Molly. It was her birthday, so we decided to go to Magic Kingdom. We rode Big Thunder Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Haunted Mansion, and Space Mountain. Then we saw Wishes, took pictures with Rapunzel's lantern, and took pictures in front of empty main street and the castle. Afterwards, we met up with our coworkers at Waffle House and didn't end up leaving until 1AM! Monday, I had work from 10Am-4Pm . I went home and did homework for my hospitality class. Then, Zachary and I met up with Caroline and Kelly. We rode Jungle Cruise and Buzz Lightyear. We ate créme cheese filled pretzels, watched wishes, and took pictures with the lantern. Tuesday, I worked on my big project that was due for my Hospitality class. The website deleted my work 4 times. I watched Disney movies and went to the pool. Wednesday, my class project was due and it deleted again!! I woke up at 5AM to check and it was gone. I tried to fix it again, and got most of it done. Then I got to class and in the middle of class it deleted. My professor then said we could turn it in on paper. So after class, I had to print everything out and redo everything that was already done before it deleted. I had work from 4:00PM-12:30AM. Thursday, I had a midterm for my Human Resources class. Since I was so worried about my project, I didn't have much time to study for my test. I ended up getting an 80%, which isn't bad.. but I would have done better if my project worked the first time. Thursday, Zachary and I drank around the world. We started in Mexico and I drank a pineapple margarita. Second was Norway, and we both got wine. Third, we ate food in China and I got a boba tea. Fourth was Germany, and we both got grapefruit beer! It was orange! Zach's friend Tyler met up with us in Germany and stayed with us for a while. Fifth was Italy and Zach got wine. Sixth, was Japan and Tyler got a spicy drink. Seventh was Morocco, and I got a moroccan version of a piña colada. After Morocco, Tyler left and Zachary and I went to France. We had Orange slushies. We went to the United Kingdom and Zach got a beer trio and I had some. Lastly was Canada! Zachary officially finished drinking around the world. I drank at about half of the countries! I call that a success! After we completed drinking around the world, we took the monorail to Magic Kingdom. We saw wishes and ate dinner. Then, I went home for a good nights rest! Friday, I had work from 8:30 to 3:45. For the first couple of hours, my leaders and coworkers told me that I looked like a zombie. Then by the end of my shift, I was given a Four Keys Card! (Which is when a leader recognizes you for your hard work!) Thanks Kyra! After work, I went back to my apartment to get ready. It was Hannah's birthday and we had reservations for Be Our Guest!! We had an excellent meal and even met the Beast! After dinner we road Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! Saturday, I had off and Sammie and I watch Tangled before she had to go to work. After Abby got off work, we went to Port Orleans Resort to walk around. We got a Slushie that had three different flavors! It was a very pretty resort! We got Jumbo, Jambalaya, and Beignets. Everything was so good!! Sunday, I had work from 12:30 to 6:30. Since I was sick, I didn't do much after work. With how many things I want to do, work, and try to get enough sleep... No wonder I got sick!
