"Over My Head"

So today is the last day of my official school year. I just wrote and sent the last paper to my professor that i will be doing until this august. I couldn't really be more excited about that because i'm ready to focus solely on my days off as being days off, and not the days that i write my papers. It has been a long road so far, longer than most of you even know. Actually most of you do probably know, because the only ones who still read this are my family i think. I guess its my fault since i havent kept up to date with it as well as i could have, but believe me this has pretty much been the last thing on my mind in comparisons with the rest of my life. I learned a lot so far. With reading my book for school about business and communication and just working in the real world and hating certain aspects of your job, i've really gotten a taste of it all. it's tough....being out here all on my own with no family to rely on. that has probably been one of the two toughest things about being down here. but anyway, i've got three more months down here to really make something happen for myself then we'll see what happens. my have has made a complete u-turn since i've been down here and there is no telling what michigan has in store for me when i return. This is my last "official" posting, but i'll try and write to all ya'll a bit more over the summer. peace and god bless!

"Detroit City"

As the NCAA tournament comes to an end, so does my excitement since my favorite team got knocked out last night in the final four. I really thought UNC was going to be able to do it this year, but man did they get blown out. Anyways, I know I have been really sucky at writing on this thing, but to be honest with all the time spent working, and on the days off trying to get my papers in on time while still trying to have some fun as well, this is like the last thing I think of. Those of you who really care to find out what's going on with me call me anyway, so this thing aint too important. Since we've talked last a lot has happened. I got shipped off to a different store for Disney's busiest week of the year. The "World of Disney" the largest store in the world, was the nightmare that I had to work in last week. I've never been so bored and overwhelmed, and even shunned all at the same time. Because this store is so big, and consists of over 600 cast members, they all have their own little clicks. So you can imagine coming in for one week, I didn't really fit in, and to be honest when ever any of the college kids asked me if I liked it....I told them no, so I think I made them a little mad. However, all the older ladies and older gentlemen really liked me, which I seem to have better luck with them normally anyway.

In my communications independent study, I'm reading all about "teamwork" in the workplace. I found it funny that I didn't get much of that when I was working at a store where no one knew me. I understand you have to make people know you and earn their trust, but then I think that this is Disney and we are all on the same team to start. But people are simple....and the human nature is to be stuck up and not give people a chance until they prove they are worthy of it. Sounds petty, and it is, but humans don't like to give each other the benefit of the doubt, which truly is sad.

Kathryn's friends from Colorado came down to visit for the past week. I had a lot of fun getting to know them. They were an absolute blast and I had an awesome time getting to know them. They act just like she does, and the important thing is that her personality does not change one bit when she is around them, she is exactly the same person, which I really think is cool. Anyway, it's getting to be lunch time and Chik-fil-a is a calling my name. I'll try and write to ya'll more frequently.

~~~~Time to Go To WORK.....Bring on the NBA Playoffs, This is the Pistons Year!
