Today was a day unlike any other I have ever experienced, not in a good way. If you've seen the news then you probably know what has happened. I'm not going to go into great detail about it here as I'd just rather not, but I'll post a link in the sidebar just in case you haven't heard yet.As you may remember, this morning I was scheduled to do my assessment. I arrived early, got some breakfast then hung out in the break room until I was scheduled to begin. When my assessor came I was taken to another building where I did my written test (did great on it by the way) and then after he marked it we stepped just outside the break room and sat at a picnic table so we could do the verbal part of my assessment. It was around then that this tragedy occurred. Needless to say the ride was shut down and I was not able to complete the in ride portion of my assessment. After the incident we were moved over to another building where I stayed for nearly four hours. I was given the option of leaving but I decided I'd rather stay. So I sat in the conference room talking with other cast members for a majority of the time. Then just after four I moved out in front of the gates and told guests we were closed. At 6:30pm I finished and caught the bus home.
Yesterday was my last day of training. I started my shift at 6pm with Claire, Josh and BJ. Basically we spent most of the night either going over the Q&A or in position. It was fun, I enjoyed the night. I was sad when it was over as I'd rather enjoyed the training portion of my job. I've yet to discover what it's like to be on my own in rotation, hopefully it's great. My shift did not end until 1:30am. Then I raced to the bus and got on, got home and went to sleep. I may have gotten about 5.5 hours of sleep, not much more though. This morning it was the worst thing ever, now it doesn't even matter.
I'm going to work tomorrow at 4pm til close at 10:30pm. Since I didn't finish that portion of my assessment I'll be doing that for the first two hours of my shift, then I'll be in rotation. I'm sure I'll do fine.
As horrible as this afternoon was I still don't want to go home. If it's possible, I want to stay even more. The way people came together this afternoon was amazing. I couldn't imagine working with a better group of people. I'm proud to call myself a Cast Member on Rockin Roller Coaster. I don't want it all to end.
It's not like I'm getting much incentive to come home anyways. I mean, besides my mom I haven't heard from anyone really. Here I am divulging the details of my life and I'm getting nothing in return. How am I supposed to miss you if I'm not getting constant reminders of you in my inbox.
One thing I know for sure is so far this summer has really made me look at my future. I'm making all sorts of crazy decisions and learning a ton. I'm even considering changing majors. I can be a writer with any degree. I can't run Disney World with a Creative Writing Degree. Though I'm sure whoever is running Disney World probably has an MBA from Harvard or something. Malaspina isn't quite on par with that, but oh well. I can start small, who knows where life will take me. Who knows how I'll feel at the end of the summer, or even two weeks from now.
I really shouldn't be left alone with my thoughts. I'm going to do something crazy one of these days.
