Again...

The sign of intelligent people is their ability to control emotions by the application of reason.- Marya Mannes

So great has been the endurance, so incredible the achievement, that, as long as the sun keeps a set course in heaven, it would be foolish to despair of the human race. - Ernest L. Woodward

It's been a week since I last posted. Many things have changed since my last entry. But let's do the usual thing in catching up my journal and take it one day at a time. So where was it that I left off? Oh yes...

Thursday July 8th I worked in the morning. I don't remember where (I believe it was Mission Space). I just remember that it was in the morning. I enjoy working in the mornings especially on Mondays and Thursdays because then I'm able to have plenty of time to get ready to for my night(s) out at Pleasure Island. I had worn my new clothes to the club. I was looking hot =) People love me.

Friday July 9th is also mainly a blur. My days here just seem to run together completely. It's not normal days it's Disney Days. Thus Saturday the 10th is also a blur. I just don't remember what I did and or where I was. Oh now... I remember where I worked Friday and Saturday. I worked at The Towers during the evenings. No excitement happened. Nothing really does there.

Sunday the 11th I worked at The Land. Ugh, I hate it there especially when I have to work the dining room. It's just never ending there. Thankfully I had an early shift (8-2) and most of the place doesn't open until 11:30 so I didn't have to deal with huge crowds. I went back to deployment to see if they had another place open that I may pick up an extra shift. They had a few but I changed my mind and just came home and hung out by the pool by for a few hours before it started to storm. Sunday ending up being a good day, though, because I was able to finally get in touch with Shawna. I talked to her for an hour or so. It felt good. I miss her terribly. She's in Ohio with her mom and helping out at her mom's hotel. She mentioned wanting to come see me at sometime. I hope she is able to. It would be great to see her. She and I both agree that this time apart may be doing us some good. I think that us both spending time in completley strange surroundings is not only going to be good for our friendship but good for us individually. My time here, away from almost everything I've ever known (excluding my time in the ARMY) is helping me appreciate what I had. As for my friendship with Shawna, I think the break is going to do us good because we now are starting to realize what we really meant to each other. I'm hoping that when we are finally able to see other again we aould be able to build back up our friendship.

Monday the 12th I was deployed to Norway. I love Norway. The Norwegians are fantastic people, they are so fun, but my day there was torture. My duty was simply to stand on that damned viking boat all day to keep kids and adults from climbing over the sides, or up the the helm, or anywhere else they shouldn't be climbing. What a long day. It took forever for the day to finish. But the end of the day was inevitable and it finally came. So I headed home and got ready and headed out. As usual I was showered with compliments on how cute I was. I think people here are either blind or have an odd sense of what is cute. I don't find myself to be as attractive as they say I am. But, it still feels good. =)

Yesterday I hung out with Brent. He's from Illinois and works at MGM but is in for a transfer to the Magic Kingdom. I'm not entirely sure what his position is. He is kind of a floater right now until he gets placed. But he's only here for three more weeks before he goes home. He's seasonal. He's a great guy. We didn't do much all day. Just kind of chilled and hung out before heading out to EPCOT to the Cast party at West Innoventions. The party was fun. Not a huge turn-out but still fun. They had some characters come out to play us. It's kind of amusing that they do that considering. But I had fun and I believe Brent did as well. After that I came home and talked to Daniel on the phone. He's so fantastic.

Today so far is going well. I've not done anything yet except lounge out by the pool and wnet upstairs to visit Alfredo. Now I'm waiting for Brent to call me t hang out. I think we're going to go grocery shopping and go to see Fantasmic. We'll see. Then it's off to work in the morn. Ugh.
