Random Fun
It is currently December 8th and I'm wearing flip flops at all hours of the day. I go to the pool daily and have a killer tan. I'm only working about 30 hours a week, mostly nights. Is this something I want to continue doing? Do I really want to stay here despite the corruption, low pay, and ridiculous outfits? I think my answer is yes. I have applied to stay here until next May as a lifeguard, hopefully in Typhoon Lagoon again when it opens for the winter. I think I want to stay mostly because of the friends, the hangouts, the random road trips, and the random incidents I see each day.
For instance the time that I was snuck into Chatham housing in a trunk in some girl's car, a girl whom I had just met that night, and she also got into the trunk with me because it would look more convincing to come back with only men in the car. Then I can't forget the time I recapped this story to two girls at work in front of our area manager on Thanksgiving when she told me to go home early. I said, "OH MAN I'm so glad I don't have to sneak in through a trunk like last time." Shortly there after when everyone is laughing and mouthing, "What the FUCK" I say outloud, "JUSSST KIDDING, why would I do something so stupid that would jepeordize my internship, jeeze. I'd never stoop that low to hang out." So good so far, not terminated.
Or when I was on the cast bus from Magic Kingdom back to the parking lot at 2 in the morning when a man in a white truck stopped traffic by driving into the center of a four way intersection, very slowly put on a yellow reflective jacket, then proceeded to get out and direct a flat bed across the street that was transporting a giant Christmas tree. All of this happened just shortly after I found a strange black woman sitting in the locker room in front of my locker, clearly in my way and not moving, reading the bible. At 2 in the morning she is sitting, fully dressed and in a winter coat in fucking central Florida, reading the bible.
So many random things happen every day and I think that even though I'll have to make a different group of friends and that even htough it will all be different come January 1st, it might be worth it. That there are just a million new experiences waiting to happen. I'm not ready to go back to Pittsburgh to what I'm familiar with, to the things I know, I'm not ready to settle back. Just this week probably over 100 Brazilian people moved in and it's like the first month all over again with getting to know each other. The parties aren't so bad either!
