I have been working like a CP slave here. Some days are better than others and some days just really suck. Working every night until midnight and long shifts everyday start to really get to you. The older full time people who work there are also not very welcoming. They wont ever offer to help, they make fun of you, and honestly just treat you like you are worthless. You do find some really great people however that make it a little better. I love all the other CPs I work with but I hate the management there. So its just been one of those weeks where Ive had enough but I am trying to remain positive because I still have over 3 months left.
On a positive note we had our first celebrities come into the store when I was working. It was a band called One Direction. I have heard of them but I dont know who they are very well. Basically they are the BackStreet Boys and Nsync of this generation. It was exciting but at the same time I wasnt really sure who they were.
Last night I went to the Vegas Nights Welcome Event. There was 2 giant tents filled with poker games. They also had a DJ and a BBQ company catered for it. I am all for the free dinner so I dont have to go home and eat PB &J or rice a roni. The Villains were also there and I met Cruella de Vil.
Today I went to Animal Kingdom with some friends from work. We basically had time to eat lunch and then we got in line for Expedition Everest (like the Matterhorn but WAY better). We were at the front of the line when a thunderstorm came out of no where. They had to close the ride because of the lightning. We decided to wait it out because it was better than walking in the rain. After waiting for 30 minutes I finally had to leave to get home. The 10 minute walk out of the park was the most rain I have ever been in. I looked like I jumped in a pool with my clothes on. I took a picture for everyone's enjoyment.
Once I got home I changed and got ready to go to a "Voluntear" Event. It was by far the most amazing thing I have ever done. It was at Give Kids the World Village. A place where families go with kids with life threatening illnesses to have a week of fun. They stay there, there is a cafeteria, boats, a train, mini golf, and different activities every night. In addition the Characters from all the theme parks come every morning and they also go off the property to the parks. I got paired up with a little boy Oliver from Indiana. I am not sure what was wrong with him but I didnt ask. He was adorable and loved every minute of it. We played in the arcade, played with boats and trains, went to dinner and then there was a talent show "Village Idol". Over 30 kids participated and it was so amazing to see them on the stage. After there were 5 judges that all said positive things about their performance. Each one of them also got a trophy. It kind of put things into perspective for me because lately I have really been not liking being here when it gets tough. But my life is far from bad, its actually really great and I need to not take it for granted. There is volunteering there every Sunday and Wednesday and I hope to be able to go as much as I can while I am here. If you want more information you can go to www.GiveKidstheWorld.org
