One Year In Florida...
So hard to believe but I have been in Florida for a little over a year. My one year anniversary at Disney was this past Wednesday.
Well I can say that I am overall happy with the move. I still GREATLY miss my friends from New England as well as the landscapes, the history, and lots of the thing we used to do. That has been the biggest dissapointment of being down here. I still have not seemed to get a group of friends down here that I can do stuff with on a regular basis, game nights, movie nights, etc. Still not a place I feel totally home and have it be a place to hang out with friends. Stuff that I know will come together with time, just stating what I miss the most from Mass.
However on the flip side I have followed my dream to work at Disney World and I have been very happy with that part of moving. I love being at my favorite place on earth everyday. Taking part in different events, tours, and classes to learn all I can about Disney. I have auditioned to teach Traditions and made it a 1/3 of the way through, and for mangment and am getting there. Was not approved for either but recieved great feedback and will definetly be trying next year. I am very happy with the current location I am at. We just got rated #2 under Victoria & Albert's which says a lot considering how many great restaurants there are here. I am working in one of my favorite hotels on property as well. My chefs all really like me and I have really been able to use a lot more of my culinary, leadership, and have more fun here than at my last location. It looks as though I will be getting my Prep Chef promotion within the next few weeks. Which with the new contract hopefully going through for the Union it will be a very good financial thing for me. It is great just to be able to go the parks when I please, show family and friends around when they come here.
Dating scene and people in general have been ok down here, definetly not as friendly and a lot more self centered then ever place I have met. But it is just something you get used to. I know this is not some wordy long entry like I normally do but honestly just don't feel like going into detail about everything that has happened the past year. I am looking forward to a great and long career at Disney, and can only imagine what is in store, as this past year has been amazing there. I know that as time goes on I will get a group of friends, a better living situation, better financial situation, and just better in general as time goes on.
So I will leave this for now, because honestly I don't even know what I am typing. I am watching "Dreamgirls" right now and WOW I am very impressed with it and in LOVE with the soundtrack. Check back for another entry soon, but who knows how long it will be, it was 7 weeks since last one LOL
