So suddenly the time is here and I am about to leave for my adventure. I would be lying if I said that I am not really nervous, but the excitement is starting to creep in as well. I have joined the site CoolWorks which has a group for all of the arriving Princess employees and I have been reading the blogs and other peoples experience. It seems that if you go in with a good mind set that it will be a positive experience. Plus I really want to fly over Mt.Mckinley and maybe skydive. I want to do the bear tour and possibly some of the extreme hiking things. I am anxious to learn about my new responsibilities. But I am reading up customer reviews and such so I can get a feel of the general problems and concerns that seem to come up. Also to see what they thought of the lodging. There are mixed reviews, but for the most part it was positive. I am happy to be back in that kind of aspect, I thrive in this kind of job so I don't know why I am psyching myself up so much.
I haven't packed yet. I leave on Tuesday morning. I am the worst procrastinator in the entire world, I don't know what is wrong with me. I need to buy a couple pair of chocolate brown slacks as well and I am just not excited. I looked at the mall the other day and I literally tried on twenty different pairs and they were all too baggy in the butt and awkward in the waist. So it goes, I will hopefully find something today at the cheap stores. I thought if I went to a "nice" store I would find something that would suitable but it was kind of a let down.
My brother and his girlfriend just left after a week long visit. It was really nice to have everyone together and to just hang out, drink. It was pretty relaxed but there were a few hiccoughs. Mostly my own drunken fault. I let my tongue go a little bit that last night and apparently picked a few fights. I don't like hearing that about myself, which is why I generally stay away from liquor but we were at the bar and Amanda was pressuring me all night to drink. I know she forgives me, as I forgive her, but I could have been nicer.
I have so much to do today but some how I have managed to sit here and watch Grease all afternoon. Dirty Dancing was on before that. I have manged to do a load of laundry and make a few more lists, check on my flight confirmations and respond to some new *work* email. Woo.
There is something really sticky on the keyboard. I think from the drunk night.
I am going to wrap it up, the car just got home and I have to go be responsible.
life,
