Sunday 18th February 2007: Carla’s Birthday Celebrations Round One

I haven't been uptomuch rencentley apart from work and today I started work at 1400 and finished at 2200 and I was food running with Mooch. After work I went around to Lyndsay’s apartment and they had Pizza and I had BBQ buffalo chicken wings (which were really nice), to celebrate Carla’s, but Zoe couldn’t make it as she was feeling ill after the cruise her and Carla had been on. So there was Lyndsay, Ian, Celsey, Carla and Me. It was a very nice and relaxing evening.

Thursday 15th February 2007: Bar Meeting and Blizzard Beach

This morning Carla, Zoe, Rob, Colin and I attended the bar meeting because we are all interested in going into the bar to work. During the meeting they had a wine presentation and tasting and I was really bad with trying to work out what the wine was.

Then after the meeting I walked around the World Show Case and had a look in a few of the shops and around the countries. When I arrived back at The Commons Celsey and I decided to go to Blizzard Beach for the afternoon 1, because it was really hot and 2, because it was free. I had a really nice afternoon of sitting in the sunshine reading my book and going on the lazy river for a while.

Wednesday 14th February 2007: Valentine’s Day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRSTY!!!! Today Celsey and I had the day off so we went down to Downtown Disney to do a wee bit of shopping, as it was the last day for our 40% discount. So I brought a few bits for myself (like normal) and just had a good look around the shops, enjoying the sunshine.

On the way home we stopped off at Walgreen’s to pick up a little bit of food shopping and then got the bus back to The Commons. When we were sat on the bus at Vista Way (another Disney housing complex) a couple of people from the International Program Office came on board and handed out little love heart cakes to celebrate Valentine’s Day, which I thought was quite cute and they were so tasty.


In the evening I went to Kirsty’s apartment for her birthday party. We ordered pizza and other food from Dominos and sat around chatting and listening to music and there were quite a few people there so we had to make sure we weren’t making too much noise. However during the party I went to Carla’s apartment to give her, her birthday present as well because her and Zoe our going on a cruise tomorrow for 4 days so I wont get to see on her birthday.

Tuesday 13th February 2007: Service Bar Training

Today I had my service bar training with Jo. I had an excellent day is I got to make different cocktails and also try them (which was the best part). Throughout the day I was learning how to make different drinks and making all the drinks for the restaurant, as well as learning about the bar and where everything is and having to wash the glasses and talking to guests. I really enjoyed my day and Jo was an excellent trainer and I would like to spend some more time in the bar and hopefully be trained as both a server and a bartender.

Monday 12th February 2007: First Day as a Trained Food Runner

Today I was working with Ashling food running and I had a really good day, as I remembered what I was doing and Ashling said I was doing great and I was carry three plates to the tables more comfortably (without the fear of smashing the plates). Also at the end of the night I was given my tips and I made about $130 dollars in one evening and usually that is a week’s wages, so that was really cool.

In the evening Celsey and I went to lassies, which was good fun. We played a few games and had some drinks and then about 0015 we went to Old Town and meet up with the Lads in a Karaoke Bar (which was a bit of a dive). There was only us and a couple of other people in there which was very weird.
