Sorry I haven't been blogging much. I have been extremely busy with work and volunteering. Work so far is going really well. I absolutely love my job and have made a lot of friends with the other interns. I have also been helping with the Five Year Annual Plan which has kept me very busy. I have been giving more responsibilities lately which has been really rewarding. Every Wednesday I have class at Disney University with all the other interns. It is our Finance Fundamentals class. The funny thing is that I took the class last semester on my college program so it has been kind of repetitive. We also have a project coming up where we have to work as a team going over a budget and then present our findings to the CFO and other VPs in the company which is pretty exciting. On Thursdays, we have classes together again which varies every week. So far we have had an Excel functions class and a systems database class. It has been enjoyable because we get a chance to meet up with the other interns who we normally don't see everyday.
This past week I had the opportunity to sit on a few meetings with the different segments to go over their budgets and plan for the next 10 years. I got to learn about every major project that is being planned which is really exciting.
I have also been volunteering almost every week. I had a really fun shift working the Cookie Cart. I drove around all night on a golf cart passing out cookies and drinks throughout the Give Kids the World Resort. I also helped work the Village Idol talent show. I am really enjoying my time volunteering and I have tried to do a different shift every week.
I am also really enjoying my roommates. We all get along really well and have a lot in common. Usually once a weekend we have a nice dinner together. We usually make some kind of theme. We had our cupcake night, we had a Superbowl snack dinner, and tonight we had a BBQ type night.
Hopefully I will be able to write more often than I have been but my schedule has been a bit crazy.
