642 View, awesome.

So my Blog has been looked at 642 times, now I’m not sure how many of those views were me updating, and trying to figure out the site.

On Monday night I went to Joe’s house and he feed me, and for some people *Cough* Mllyna Skylar *cough* who wanted more info on Joe, he is a very sweet guy who seems to have a personality that is a mixer of two of my friends. It still was raining on Monday night when I went to Joe’s house and some how I got lost in Patterson court so I got soaked, but at least I dried fast.

Monday night I also went to games night which was at Patterson court pool and the only people to show up were from commons so it was quite ironic that we played the game at Patterson but walked back to commons. next week we are going to play capture the flag and one of my France friends want to play as well.

On Tuesday I woke up with the flu that has been going around the Canadian Pavilion and I didn’t have any meds so I thought I was going to have to go to Wal mart to buy some but my Maryane (my France friend) gave me some meds and they helped wonders.

On Tuesday I also put in my request to move into Patterson Court with Maryane in a one bedroom, so now I just have to wait, the good thing is that I don’t have to pay the $50 move fee until they get us the room and we get the key so that’s nice.

Today I was at work from 1 pm to 9:30 pm and it started to rain around 3:30, I was at cart so I had to close down the cart when it started to pour, and then about 30 min later we got the word that we can reopen cart so we did and then around 8 pm it started to pour again so we got the word to just close down the cart for the night.

Tomorrow I work from 1pm to 9:30pm and apparently it is suppose to still rain.

Well that’s it.

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night.

Update time

So I’m sitting here in my room debating if I should go get groceries since I haven’t done that in 2 weeks and right when I think I’m going to go in the rain storm the thunder hits and I quickly change my mind.

So the system that tells us our assignments for the day still won’t put me on the engraver I am always on a register or on tasking, I really want to Engrave some bracelets, put it will have to let me soon for in the next few weeks we are losing people because it is the end of their program and we are getting new people in and on some nights it is me and a new person so I will have to get on the engraver at some point.

I was going to try to figure out the public transportation system today because I had to go to my bank and get a letter but then I got a call this morning that said that the social security office did not need that letter anymore and that my SSN account was a go, so in 2 to 3 weeks I’ll have the card.

I am getting a home cooked meal tonight so that will be nice since I only have a few things left.

I was going to go to games night but if it keeps raining I think it is going to be cancelled because we have games night outside by the pool.

sorry this one is short there really wasn’t much to report.

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

I really, really want to move.

I really need to move in with a friend, right now I am ready to strangle one roommate, the internet was on the frizz and I was trying to fix my wireless router and she was plugged into the actual internet box her internet started to act up so I realized that it wasn’t my box so I put down the wireless router and she started to blame me for the internet not working, I tried to explain to her that I just touched my wireless router and not the internet box so what I was doing with my router would not effect her in anyway and if the internet did not work it was because of the actual internet box which I did not touch but she still continued to blame me so I just said “whatever” and went to my room, the internet then started to work. Me and Maryann are going to be putting a request to transfer on Tuesday and hopefully get a one bedroom. However the roommate that was blaming me for the internet I think I am going to stay out of her way anyways for I do believe she is bipolar.

In other news I got a call from my mom and it turned out that the Deployment (the team that calls people in to take over shifts) still had my home number from Canada so my mom got a nice message asking if I wanted to come in early so she called me to let me know, so I started work 2 hours early and worked Extra magic hours where the park stays open until 12 am, I worked until 12:15am. I have now changed my number so that my mom doesn’t get anymore random messages.

I got my first Fantastic card which means that someone liked what they saw me doing and decided to commend me for it, It is very cool that I got on my 3rd shift without a trainer. 

I got called in early tomorrow so now I work 1pm to 9:30pm, instead of 3:30pm to 9:30pm.

Will that’s it,

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night

Epic fail!!!

So one Wednesday (23rd) it was my first day without a trainer, but before that my house was filled with housing people, they came in to do the actual inspection which we passed and they gave up cookies, and then the pest control guy came in and did a preventative care spray for bugs, and then last but not least the repair man came in to fix our roof because it was starting to fall in. I started work at 3 pm and finished at 9:30 pm it went well and I spend the day basically playing with kids and talking to parents, a few kids wanted to know how I got the job so I explained the process to them so they might be future cast members. It turns out that even though I learned how to do the engraver position, I won’t actually be tasked to it for about a month. After work I went to a throw in for the new Canadians, one of them being Jessica from http://oneyearindisneyworld.tumblr.com/ you were a good sport Jess. After the throw in I went back home and crashed for 4 hours and then I got up and went to get my Social Security number, which I still don’t have because two things came back and bite me in the butt, one was that I applied to a college in the US and the second was that I have a US bank account, so I have to get a form from the school I applied to saying that I don’t have a social security number and I also have to go to the bank and get them to explain how they open accounts for Canadians without a SSN number, I have 10 days to get it all done and I also have to work for majority of the time, oh one more thing about the SSN number appointment, it is a MUST that you have your birth certificate, one of my UK friends got turned away because she had a photocopy.

In other news My French friend from France and I want to get a one bedroom in Patterson, it is cleaner, newer and cheaper, she is 26 going to be 27 in July and I am also 26 going to be 27 in September, we both don’t drink so it is a good fit. We talked to housing and we still have a few more days before they will let us put in a transfer but they did tell us that there would be a waiting list for one bedrooms, I don’t mind I feel a lot confortable sharing with one person verses 5 or more.

On the side was suppose to be a schedule of my work days but it turns out that something went wrong, if anyone knows of a good calendar for blogs please let me know.

Someone posted that they wanted to know about Joe, Joe is a American friend who I meet at a housing event, he’s part of the American College Program.

I will be working tonight and then tomorrow morning I will be going to Downtown Disney with Maryanne (she’s my French friend) she has rented a car for 2 weeks so that we can go grocery shopping without figuring out how to get it onto the bus. I then have work at 6 pm until 12:30 am.

So that’s it for now,

Cheers,

EPCOT on day off and new roommate.

So on Monday we thought we were going to have a inspection because they left us the inspection sheet but it turned out that they were just bringing in a cleaning crew to clean the place so that it looked nice for the new roommate that moved in on Tuesday, funny thing was we already cleaned it for the inspection but they went really detailed so all we had to do for the inspection today was keep everything they way they cleaned it and we are guaranteed a pass. 

So on Monday I went to Florida mall to see what there was there and it is quite a nice place, It took a hour to get there and the housing buses are only once every hour one day a week, Monday night I went to games night with other Canadians we played “Bagadash” I know I didn’t spell that one right, I think I’m going to make a habit of games night.

On Tuesday I went to EPCOT (yes that’s right I went to my work on a day off) and I looked at the flower and garden festival stuff below are some pictures.

.

 

After EPCOT Joe and I went and watched “Panyo” since I never seen the who thing and then I came home and there was a new girl there , it was my new roommate, she is from the UK and is going to be working in Food and Beverage. I talked to her for a while and she told me she was a very homey person so that might mean there might actually be a roommate around every now and then.

Tonight is a throw in for the new Canadian’s really hope they have found a place yet, first though I have to work from 3 pm to 9: 30 pm, it will be my first day as not a shadow, oh yeah I forgot to say that I passed my assessment and am now fully trained and have earned my ears.

That’s all for now,

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

“Just so you know there’s a bird in your shop”

For the last 2 hours of my shift tonight I kept getting told that there was a red cranial in our store, not taking in account that I was already talking to the animal control people who were standing there with a net, people STILL decide to tell me about the bird, my manager came up with a great way to answer that he said “yeah we are soon going to have our own Tiki room”, now I have 3 ways I could answer the customers 1. you don’t say, 2. your only the 100 person to tell me that or 3. it’s because Canada’s log store is homey for it. Now which one do you think I answer …. that’s right number 3 for both 1 and 2 will get me fired.

So today was my last training day and I passed my assessment so I became a full fledge cast member mainly meaning that I no longer am a shadow I will now be given roles by the computer to do, I am still wearing my earning my ears badge mainly because my manager said to wear it for at least 2 more shift and if I feel confidant with all the roles and believe I am good to go then on the 3rd shift in which should also be around the time the new person start, then the badge will be gone and there will be only one new person. The assessment was a 55 question test on the computer and then a few question from the manager when they come to do their briefing.

So I finished at 9 pm today and that meant that I could have watched the fireworks if I wanted but I really really wanted a seat on the bus so I ran to the bus stop and got on the 9:15 bus and got a seat. I get a new roommate on Tuesday and I decided to make her up a little goody bag, I am going to put it on the only empty bed with a welcome sign, I didn’t feel welcome when I first moved in and I want her to at least feel welcome. in the goody bag I put a couple of oranges, some candy and a pack of noodles, it’s not much but it is what I managed to by in bulk for myself and it should at least get them though a day until they can get some supplies, I told them the password for the wireless internet so that they don’t have to waste money on a cable.

I get tomorrow and Tuesday off, Tomorrow I am going to have to make myself vanish for a little while because since we are getting a new roommate on Tuesday they are sending a cleaning crew in on Monday… but we also have our room inspection so this should be fun, I really wanted to do laundry tomorrow so I hope it doesn’t take long until I can come back in, on Tuesday I’m not sure what I’m doing yet. oh but on Monday night I will be going to Games night with some Canadians.

well that’s it,

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night.

Mommy Canada has a scary building :(

Lets see what has happened….. oh yeah training and even more training, so yesterday (March 18th) I learned how to open Canada… yes its true I learned how to open a country no put I learned that there are ropes across the steps of Canada and it is Merch’s job to unhook them and then it is attractions job to take them away, but we get to be the one to say “welcome to Canada”, followed by the question “where’s Kidcot?” the 3 most question I hear in a day are 1. “where’s Kidscot?”, 2. “where’s the bathroom?” and 3. “Where can I smoke?” followed closely by “how do I get to O Canada” O Canada for those who don’t know is a 360* movie about Canada. Yesterday I got a register number so I was able to learn to do transactions, which everyone was happy to give me register duty, I learned the different areas there is the Engraver, to anyone reading this going into Canadian Merch and if you think like I did NO you do not need to do it manually there is a computer and you just need to put in what needs to be engraved, then there is cart register and then port one register and sometimes there might be a port two register but sometimes that gets shut down, you might also get the duty of tasking which can be anything from clean the store to go pin trade with kids, every day you will be switching between roles, yesterday and today I wasn’t in rotation because I am in training but for my 2nd halve of my shift tomorrow I will be, the first halve is my assessment to make sure I know what I am doing and to see if I had earned my ears.

Today (March 19) I learned to close the store and the cart I’m not sure who closes all of Canada, I thought because I was going to be working near cart tonight that I was going to be able to see the Fireworks but sadly closing the cart was done under the carts and then back into the backroom of the store so that sucks, but I’m sure I will still see it. So also today I got to work in all the areas and even got to work on the engraver so that was cool, will it was cool until I broke it, I did 3 bracelets and was about to do another and the machine stopped, and we couldn’t get it to work again good thing it was at the end of the night so we were able to just shut it down.

So because I am at the bottom of the barrel for seniority, last person to arrive before me was in Nov. so that was a long time without a new merch person, but anyways because I am low down there I get closing shift for the next few months, there is a new person starting next week so I will already have higher seniority then someone, and apparently come July most of the Canadian Merch are done there contract so there will only be 3 older ones left so in July I move to the 4th highest seniority I know that doesn’t sound special but that means that I won’t have to do that much closing shifts.

I saw that not this Friday but next Friday I will have my first 11 hour shift so I am not looking forward to that one, but for the next few days I will be working 1 pm to 9 pm so that shouldn’t be so bad. In housing news were suppose to have a house check on Wednesday and I figured that’s fine I have all day Monday or Tuesday to clean…. NOPE wrong there is a new person moving in on Tuesday and so they want to check it on Monday, really they couldn’t tell us this before so now I have to get up early to do my share because they will be here on Monday at 9 am to inspect and so that means I have to actually be out of bed early on my day off, baaa humbug, it better be a nice roommate.

Oh so I will be getting a total of 3 hours sleep on Wednesday night because we have a Canadian Throw-in for the newbies (whoot it’s awesome to say newbie for I won’t be in that category anymore) and that will be done by 1 am and then I have to get up at 4 am for my Social Security number, my trainer told me to make sure I sit at the very front of the bus for when we get to the office we all go into the building in order of the bus and that means the first one in is the first one out, meaning I can get out and then sleep on the bus until everyone is done.

well wish me luck for tomorrow actually I guess now it’s today I will be doing my assessment to see if I have earned my ears and then I will be going into the rotation without someone telling me what to do, I think though I might keep my badge that says “earning my ears” that way people might be a little more understanding on why I am slower, but I’ll see how well I do tomorrow for if I am really confident I might just rip them off and go for it, I’ll have to see how it goes.

Well that’s all for now,

Remember I like comments and questions, they are friends

Days off and Randomness.

So for the last 2 days I just had days off yesterday I went with Joe (a guy I met who asked me out) to Publix and then Subway and then I just relaxed at home, today I went to Wal-mart because I realized I needed different socks for work, my socks are ankle socks and so when the hiking boots go on you can’t see the socks and according to Disney for the Canadian Pavilion the socks MUST be seen so I had to go out and get some crew socks.

Later on in the day Joe and I just watched  “Dark Crystal” for those that have never seen it or those who haven’t seen it in a while I suggest watching it, I forgot how advance it was for it’s time.

Tomorrow …. will actually today (March 18th) I am going to work and it will be the last time for a while I work in the morning because I am the newbie I get the pleasure of the night shifts. I also get the pleasure of the “Magic” (tragic) hours, next Thursday I am really dreading for the night before we have throw in for the new Canadians and that will be done by 1 am and then I have to get up at 5 am and go for a Social Security number and after that I get to go to work until 9:30 pm, I am really hoping that there right and we will be back at commons by 10am so I can at least get 2 hours of sleep since I don’t work until 3pm.

If you look to the side there is now a button that says “follow by email” apparently you just put in your email and it will send you a update when I update. I skilfully required (really meaning stole) that info from Kate on her blog “where dreams are real” so thanks Kate and congrats on getting a positions and can’t wait to see you down here.

Please, Please comment or ask questions, I will try my best to answer them or find out the answer.

Will that’s it,

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Merchantainment, discovery day and Grocery game

First off Congrats to those that got accepted, to those that didn’t – that sucks; but try to stay positive try again or see if there is a different path you are meant to take, and to those on a wait list don’t give up hope; I was on a wait list for 5 months and just before I had to make the decision to reapply or try something else I got a spot, so you never know when you can get it.

Again I’m sorry I left it for a few days so this maybe long, so here it goes.

First of all I never did say how much I pray that the Japanese people are alright, my roommate is from Japan and I am really glad that all her love one and friends are alright.

Monday 14th: I had Merchantainment it is a Disney made word that took merchandising and entertainment and added them together, it means “retail as theatre” Walt Disney wanted shoppers to see a shop as a theatre so he wanted the cast (staff) to always be putting on a show. In the class we basically learned how to use the registers and different ways of payment and other general information that we were going to need to know, then we went and did some e- learning, you will learn to hate the e-learning and the repetitiveness of it, but everyone does it so I just learn to bear with it and get it done.

Today (Tuesday 15th): Today was discovery day at EPCOT however all I can tell you is you take a tour of EPCOT and the rest you have to experience yourself since I was sworn to keep it quite. After discovery day me and a friend went to Hollywood Studios and had lunch/dinner at the sci fi dinner theatre and you actually sit at cars so that’s quite cool. We then went and seen the live show of Beauty and the beast, we were going to go see the little mermaid show but the line was too long so we decided to come back later, it is very cool to be able to say that “oh will come back a different day” the thought of knowing you can get into any Disney park for free is great.

Tonight I went to a event put on by housing, It was called “Grocery Price is right” It gives away free groceries so I figured hey free food I’m there, we all got given ticket and then called out 4 numbers at a time and they had to each guess how much a item cost and whoever won each round got given 3 bags of Groceries, I never got called but they also do “Grocery Bingo” so when they do that I’m going to go. So yeah I didn’t get any food out of the deal but I did get a date so in the end it was worth going.

Tomorrow I’m going out on the date, It is really just a Grocery shopping trip but hey when you live in a tight spaces you take any kind of date. I also have Thursday off and then one Friday I start Training again but it will be back in the pavilion. I will eventually get pictures up but I need to get my camera working again.

That’s it for now,

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night

First official week.

Hey so where did I leave off….. oh yeah Thursday the 10th, lets continue then shall we…

On Friday the 11th I had the day off so I ended up relaxing, I was going to go to Downtown Disney but decided against it because I wanted Magic Kingdom to be the first Disney place I went.

On Saturday the 12th I had to get up early to catch a 7:30 bus to Disney University for Traditions, when we got there they checked our photo IDs (oh so you know for the first few days you have to carry ALL paperwork with you but when you get into the job training then you can throw them in a locker and never look at it again) and then gave us a little Mickey paper and told us to take a seat, about 10 min later someone came and grabbed us and took us to the classroom, we saw a union presentation and most of the group signed up for it but my whole table didn’t, I didn’t because I am cheap and didn’t want to pay the $9 a week, after that we saw some more presentations and I got 3 critters for answering questions, I got a Mickey, a Minnie, and a Goofy, the Goofy will be going to my mom when I get back for she loves Goofy. We then went into Magic Kingdom to watch the cast members at work, I’ll tell you this the cast members could see us coming a mile away, here we are a group of people in business outfits walking down the path compared to the dozen family around in shorts and tee-shirts; we stuck out like a sore thumb but oh well we got paid to be in magic kingdom, after that we went to the cast cafeteria, and then went back to the university for more presentation and we ended up getting a surprise visit but someone who gave us our name tags, and after class we also got our cast IDs.  After traditions a bunch of us went to Magic Kingdom to see wishes, of course as it goes the ID’s weren’t in the system yet so we had to do it manual there was about 12 of us so manual took a while. But we did see Wishes as well as Memories and you.

This is where I have to do a slight rant, I wanted to record the fireworks and take some pictures but when I took my camera out to see how much battery it had left I found it to not be working, I tried to charge it; it would not charge, I tried to use it with just the power adapter nothing came on so it somehow got screwed between Monday and Friday it was in my camera bag the whole time and it was working just fine before I got on the plane so I have no clue what happened to it. So I need to call the place I got it from for it is still under warranty because it is not even a month old yet and I need to get them to fix it or replace it.

Today I was in the Canadian Pavilion starting to learn Merch, I’m the only new Canadian Merch to start, I meet my trainer and she then processed to take me for my costumes and show me the Canadian break room, we are sharing with Soaring so I will have to make some friends and see if they will get me fast passes. We then went to the Pavilion and did a tour of it, I then did some e-learning's, which is very boing I think my trainer fell asleep when I was doing them, she then just went over some more info, we then yet again walked around the pavilion to see what the other castmembers were doing that I could learn from, for a little while I just talked to customers, had one who thought we were American's pretending to be Canadian’s and he was from the same town I was so he asked me to name a location in the town that only a local would know so I named a small mall and he now believes we are Canadians.  At the end of the day I yet again walked around the pavilion staring at people but this time was with my manager, who will be testing me next Sunday to see if I have earned my ears or if I need to stay with a trainer longer.

Tomorrow I have Merchantainment which is merch and entertainment mixed together so hoping that it will be fun, then on Tuesday I have my Discovery day which from I know is a EPCOT tour, on Wednesday and Thursday I have it off and then from Friday to Sunday I have training with a trainer.

oh one last thing I have my first room inspection next week and one of my roommates (of course the one I got along with) is moving out and I’m hoping whoever moves in next will be nice.

I am the cat lady of commons, there is a white cat that sits under my window and there is a tortoise shell cat that follows me around the funny thing is it looks exactly like my brothers cat, I called it my brothers cat’s name and it actually came to me so that freaked me out, but my brother still has his cat in Canada so were all good.

will that’s it for now, I swear I’ll try to update earlier so I don’t have this massive blog again, can’t make promise but I can try.

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night

It’s not going to be like college yay!!!

So I meet my last roommate and she is awsome, she has been staying at a friends house because she was getting annoyed with the roommates, I came back from my throw in last night (i’ll talk more about that later) and she was on the couch on the internet so we started to talk and we just hit it off so at least I finally have a roommate that wants to talk to me (unlike 3 years of college, one year of college I lived by myself).

So the throw in last night, it was fun they gave us advice about the program before the throw in and then they took us to it, I’m not going to tell you what happened in case your a Canadian that is coming down, but just know 2 things 1) we are insane and 2) the Canadian group has one major rule for throw in and that is “no pressure” if you don’t want to do something you don’t have to.

So I am getting annoyed with cords in my room, my roommate has one for internet, cable and then I have one for cable and instead of adding yet another cable to the madness I got a very cheap router, so maybe my roommate will get rid of the internet wire and use the wireless.

Today we had paperwork for taxes and we got a lecture about immigration compliance and that pretty much means one thing, “behave yourself or you can end up being deported” if we get termanated we must leave in 24h, I’m not planning on being termed so I am going to keep my nose clean, I’ll still have fun but in a manner that won’t get me kicked out of the country, for I don’t want to go back to the snow.

Tomorrow I have a day off and if it is nice (for it has been raining all day) I’m thinking of swimming or going to downtown Disney, since I don’t need a cast ID to get into that, however on Saturday I will be going to Traditions, and getting my first 8 hours of pay, I will also be getting my ID and nametag, can’t wait for that.

will that is it for now, I’m going to go make some food.

cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night 

Weee!!!! Paperwork.

So it is day 2 and I still haven’t really talked to my roommates and beside the quick intro yesterday I haven’t seen them either. I’m giving it 3 weeks to see if I will finally get to know my roommates and if not I might put in for a move. I might have to start feeding random people, I did it my first year of college and developed some awesome friends, who are still friends now; feed them and they will come.

I went to wal-mart and got a bed sheet and food for I believe in bringing your own food for lunch and it will save money.

Oh I forgot to say yesterday, I am in a two bedroom at commons and that it is the highest rent.

Today we filled out a lot of forms; we filled out a employment form, a application for a SSN #, and a bunch of other ones that are for housing, we also got our housing ID so that we can get on the bus, tomorrow we have another early morning to have a talk from immigrations and also bank accounts, since I already have a US bank account I may have made things harder on myself when it comes to the interview for our SSN # I’m not sure yet how but Disney thinks I may just need to bring my Account info with me, i hope that’s all it is.

Tonight I am going to welcome party hosted by the old Canadian people to welcome us new people in, there is no hazing or anything, however it is free food so I am going  

well that’s it for now, between paperwork and wal-mart there wasn’t much done.

cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night.

I’m here and I am alive

So Chelsea and I finally made it into Orlando and went to Vista way, they are really nice there and help us with our bag and gave us some water and cookies and some apples to take with us to eat later for we didn’t have time to go shopping (we arrived at Vista at around 9:00 and then there is a hourish talk about housing and what the days to follow will be like. 

Tomorrow I have to be at the common clubhouse at 8:30 for some more meetings, and then I’m hoping to go to wal-mart since I never actually made it there today.

I am in a 4 person place in commons, I originally thought it was a 6 person for i saw 3 doors but one was a laundry room, I’ll put pictures up eventually. So me and one other girl share one bathroom and the other room has there own bathroom as will so that will be nice only sharing with one person.

I meet some of my roommates and I'm not sure how this is going to play out, one i think is from Australia and she seemed nice, she gave me a tour of the apartment and then ran and she said she is sharing with a English girl but I haven’t meet her yet, I am sharing with a girl from Japan and I thought that would be cool because I always loved there culture but I found out she is never home, she was here to eat and we talked a little and then she went to her boyfriends house.  Currently I am here alone and I am getting a small feeling that this is going to be college all over again were none of the roommates talked. It looks like there is a dishes battle going on for I went looking for a measuring cup to fill up my water pillow and every single dish is dirty and it is either in the sink or the dishwasher.  I am too tired to deal with the dishes today but maybe I’ll give them a washing and get things clean again, I hate to say this since I am not a clean freak but even for me this place is too messy, I think I might give it a clean soon so that it is somewhat liveable.

Tomorrow ( will today – Wednesday the 9th) there is our throw in; in the evening so that will be fun.

ohhh, I have a guard kitty, it sits under my window (I'm on the first floor) and watches out, if someone comes close it meows, i think i might get it some treats tomorrow.

well that’s it for now, I’ll keep you informed on the roommates and what is happening.

 

Cheers,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night. 

Stuck in Toronto!!!

 

Should have done this on the Calgary plane.                                            Change the Naples to Calgary, the Dubai to Toronto and the Home to Florida and that is me.  

 

Hey guys, this blog is coming from the Toronto Airport which I am stuck in. Last night at 8:00pm I said goodbye to my family for a year and got on a plane for Calgary, got into Calgary early so that was cool, I waited at the gate and then met up with another girl who is going down to Florida with me, we got onto our plane to Toronto and that is when madness hit… first the de-icier has issues and then the plane had a power outage and they had to reboot the system so we were late taking off, we finally arrived at Toronto only to be arriving at the same time our plane to Toronto was taking off, no one told us until we went to security, went though pre-check and customs and no one said anything. Customs was easy to get though I gave them the forms and they just asked some questions, and they they went stamp happy on all they forms putting a visa stamp on my boarding pass, my declaration form and my passport and visa card; the visa card and the passport I needed it on but I’m not sure why I needed it on the declaration or the boarding pass. After we got though customs we went to security where they were about to not let us go for our plane was already gone, they finally said it was ok and to go talk to a air Canada staff, so we found the customer service desk and they put us on the 4:50pm flight, and debated weather or not to put us on stand by for a 11am flight they decided not to and it was a good thing for there was already people who were on stand by and are now on this flight because they couldn’t get onto the 11:00 fight.

One good thing they did though was give me and the other girl a meal voucher for $10 it’s not much but at least it’s something.

So that is it, I’ll update when I finally get to Florida, (if I ever get there ) by that time I will have been in airports and airplanes for close to 24 hours and this was only suppose to be a 9 hour journey.

Cheer,

Good Morning,

Good Afternoon, and

Good Night.

33 hours!!!!

Wow I have only 33 hours and then I will be in Florida, and then I will be seeing palm trees instead of snow.

In 21 hours I will be at the airport on my way, So I am all packed to go,  had to get my mom to repack for I apparently couldn’t get it all in, but she is a miracle worker who got it to fit.

I found out today that when you try to check in at the airport you have to go by the time of your last flight and not your first, so I can’t check in until 7am.

For the last few days I have been trying not to cry, It is amazing how much things I will miss but I know that I will be having a amazing time.

On Friday I worked one last time and on the Thursday I had my last film class, I have been with my mentor / boss for 10 years (since I took the film classes at 16). It was amazing how the relationship went from student / teacher to friends to family. She was crying I was going to start but I’ll hold it all in until the plane.  

My mom and I are going to have our last girls day today, were going to pick up last min items and just hang out and talk, It’s weird I’m actually going to miss just sitting with her and watching t.v and not talking, It’s her company I’m going to miss the most.

will that is it,

In 33 hours I will be in the sunshine state

 

cheers,

Good Afternoon, and

Nothing new to report
