Hi Everyone!!
Well...we didn't win the scavenger hunt. That was sad but it was still fun none the less. I didn't have class this week because of Spring Break but last class (3.25.10) we talked all about animation and the Golden Years of Disney Animation. We got to see some very cool stuff including a deleted song from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the original Mickey Mouse Club footage. Very neat stuff. Other than that, lets see what else I can update you on...
First off, Happy Passover or belated Passover to everyone that is celebrating. I'm attempting to keep Passover while I'm here although it is very difficult since we live off Italian and Mexican food. lol. But! I did successfully make my first ever solo batch of matzo ball soup. I was very, very proud of myself for doing that and now I have something to eat for the week. :)
Work hasn't been nearly as busy as I had thought it would be since it's Spring Break. The Lodge hasn't had a ton of check ins and check outs but there have just been lots of people in the lobby asking all the same questions. lol. But it's all good, I don't mind it. And generally the CPs work together at night so it's fun to get to know each other and just talk. So it all works out in the end. And the nice large paycheck because of the extensions don't hurt either.
There was a very fun day at work the other day when the infamous "Max" checked into the lodge. It was more like a covert spy mission than anything else but made work very interesting and fun. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll just have to ask.... =P
Yesterday I had the day off and I spent the afternoon in Animal Kingdom enjoying the GORGEOUS weather. I'm so happy it's actually finally spring in Florida! Took long enough, seriously. So I went and walked around and say the Animals until Meg and Laura met me for dinner and Safari. :) Then we went over to EPCOT for Illuminations where I ran into Will Bonesso! It was so nice to see him since I hadn't in forever. Just goes to show you, you can run into anyone here in the happiest place on earth. So we watched Illuminations and then came home and Meg, Laura and I went to the Cowboy Bar with some of Meg's lifeguard friends. It was really fun although I can't line dance to save my life. lol. But I enjoyed the attempt and making a bit of a fool of myself. Hopefully next time I'll have better luck.
I also got to see Danielle Naglieri who was down here for Spring Break with her fam. Nice to have a little piece of Delaware for a little while here in Florida since I miss being at school. And visitors are just fun! :)
Other than that...Not to much more to update you on. I will give you the answers to last weeks trivia questions but since I didn't have class this week I'll just have to come up with some fun trivia of my own. lol.
