Still Dreaming

I laughed out loud when I saw that my last post began with 'Well the heat has finally set in.' What a JOKE! I was so naive when I wrote that last post (and it was so long ago - for that, I apologize). It is merely the beginning of June and yet the heat is now undeniably miserable. Animal Kingdom makes the air feel that much more humid and sticky because of all the vegetation and rainforest atmosphere. I had no idea on April 11 what heat really was! Oh well, I'm not here to complain - but let's just say that I have never (EVER) sweated so much in my entire life. And that I have never (EVER) NEEDED a shower as badly as I do when I get home from work.

It seems as though so much has happened since my last post (as always). Our dear girlfriend, Lissette, went back home on May 16 when her program ended (the same day mine was intended to end). It was quite the SAD scene at the Orlando International Airport at 6:30AM in the morning - sobbing and such! Jennifer, another favorite of my girlfriends down here also decided to extend her program until August 15th - she switched from Safaris to Entertainment. Because we extended our programs, we were required to move to different apartments - and she is now my roommate in a beautiful and spacious one bedroom apartment! We love it and have worked hard to keep it classy!

I turned 21 since my last post! Whoohoo! My parents were down for a long weekend and we had a lot of fun relaxing and staying at two different Disney resorts. On my birthday night, six of my best friends here at Disney came out to dinner with my parents at Bahama Breeze. We really had a lot of fun. In fact - my parents will be down for a super short weekend THIS weekend! It's Father's Day and I have a few breakables to be taken back - I think they'll be in town for 30 hours!

I still love Safaris - in doses! I am currently missing my voice - as I do every week just before my 'weekend.' Talking all day really wears me out! I often find myself wondering if I should have transferred to a different location for the summer - just to try something new and air conditioned! But then I snap out of it and realize that I would COMPLETELY miss all the amazing people I work with and that I would probably end up with some AWFUL shifts until 3am and that my job is coveted by MANY at Disney. I know I'm where I should be.

I'll try to get better at this blog deal this summer. My hours are later now - we stay open until 7:30 - which means I'm not out until 9pm. YUCK. Could be worse, I know.

Miss you all!
