So I just got out of my first Environmentality and Sustainability class. Gotta say, I'm super excited! My facilitator is quite a funny guy and very energetic, so it seems like the hours are going to fly by. I'm not exactly the biggest tree hugger in the woods, but I certainly do like learning about environmental issues (especially wildlife) and I want to own a Prius for goodness sakes, so there. To be quite honest, I really only signed up because we get a behind the scenes tour of The Seas at EPCOT, which means MANATEES!!! However, there's a lot more that I'm interested in, so this will be fun. My class is full of science majors, so I'm an odd one that's for sure, but it's a throwback to Environmental Science at UD. I'm also curious to see the educational tie-ins that I could possibly use in my social studies class.
Other than that, I've been working like crazy. Times fly at the water tank. Our ride has been staying open later and later, which is great for me because it means more hours. I work 40-45 hours a week, but the other cast members who work with me make the time go by so quickly! Cannot believe I'm already a month and a half in! Seems unreal! Miss all those far away from me and hope everybody's as happy as I am!
God bless!!!

Earning My Ears
Hello Family and Friends!
Just a few quick words to let you know, I'm still alive and loving my new job! I earned my ears two weeks ago at the Water Tank at Disney's Hollywood Studio's Backlot Tour. This means I don't have to drive (yay) and I do get to blow stuff up!!!!! I'm having a blast (pun intended) so far! I rotate jobs with my co-workers so I have several positions that I fill, from Director (giving the spiel about how we make special effects) to Assistant Director (working with volunteers, etc) to every other job like Greeter (what it implies, standing outside saying "Hi There!") in between. Not going to lie, it's a busy day but I got lucky compared to some of my other CPs (College Programers) because the ride closes by 5 every day, which means I'm outta there by 5:30 at the latest.
In my down time, I've been hanging out at the parks and doing some shopping. I also finally got some much needed car fixes! I like Orlando a lot, it's a fun new place to explore. I also found a parish that I really like in a city called Celebration, FL, which I just recently found out was actually designed by Walt himself. Doesn't surprise me one bit because when I was driving all I could think was, Wow! It's like I jumped into an episode of Desperate Housewives. Anywho... for those of you who want to see my costume, don't get too excited, but pictures are coming. Not bad, considering I have a friend who works at Dino Land and her's is possibly the worst.
I love and miss you all! God bless!

P.S. to all my UD friends... Raise a glass for me! Happy Groundhog Day! I'm drinking in spirit!
