What they don't tell you...

Disney tells you a lot of things before you head down here. Some of what they don't is: 

1.) You will rarely have time to sleep. 
       -This is truer than true. You could sleep on your days off if you really wanted too.

2.) After a while you will never want to go to the park on days that you also have to work.
       -That's a waste of valuable energy you are already lacking
. 
3.) You will rarely have any extra money to go and do anything with, especially if you call in.
       -Food becomes something you need the most, and when that happens you can say bye to all the fun things you could have done with that pay check. Also, don't call in unless you wanna be extra broke that week, UNLESS you are actually sick, then call in! But it really does effect your paycheck a lot! 

4.) You may not get along with your roommate or all your roommates. 
       -Especially considering you've probably never met these people until being forced into a small apartment with up to 8 strangers. You might be one of the lucky few that gets along with every single one of your roommates and the neighbors across the hall. If so: you go Glenn Coco. 

5.) Brazilian Tour Groups will ruin your life.
       -Accept it now! Because if you are here throughout the summer it is going to become a daily struggle. 

6.) You are going to miss your family & friends more than you could ever imagine. 
        -Seriously though, there are some days that I just wanna come home from work and hug my mom or best friend and sob...But sadly that can't happen. 

7.) That you will have to fight to do your laundry. They give you three washers & three dryers. per building. My building has four apartments per floor, and three floors. Each apartment has 6 people in it. 
        -I have to do my laundry between the hours of 1am and 3am because that's the only time I can ever find a free washer or dryer. Also, the card reader on these washers and dryers is the WORST. You will swipe your cards OVER and OVER again just to get it too read. It also takes Quarters. 

8.) If anything in your apartment stops working or breaks you need to tell the service center as soon as possible. If you don't it could be something you end up paying for in the end. 
         -Our air conditioner, broke twice. One of our pots, had the handle snap off. The closet door in my room no longer shuts (someone is coming to fix that). Our kitchen light blew out. The list of problems we have had just gets longer. Report it. 

9.) It's also not going to be all rainbows and sunshine at your assigned job. You may love it or you may hate it. There will be magical moments, and moments right out of horror stories. 
         -Someday's you will create so much magic for so many people. And others they will ruin any chance of a good day/night that you thought you had. 

10.) If you get in a fight with your roommates you have no where to go to get space. So try and work it out as soon as possible because it becomes really hard to live in tiny apartments with a cold war going on. 


So those are the ten things so far that I kind of wished I had known going into this program, and if you aren't here some of them seem really minor. But when you are here...it's not. 

We said goodbye to two of our ICPs that have been working with my at All-Star. It was a sad night! Although, they are both on to bigger and better things! 
I was supposed to have some family coming down next month, but that fell through, which is okay. I can't blame them. Coming here is expensive especially with children.

I guess that's all I have for today! 
Have a Magical Day!
