Journal #9

I attended the Blizzard Bash the other night and I must admit it was pretty fun.

I find it funny because I didn’t realize how many people I have met in this program until that night. As I was walking around looking for food and a table to eat it at, I was bumping into people left and right. When I first came here I was under the impression that I wasn’t going to meet any people or make any friends. I guess it is kind of hard to fight it because the people here are nothing like home. All of the CPs I have met have been extremely friendly and sociable. I was surprised to see how many people wanted to take pictures to remember me, I was flattered.

One thing I was dissapointed with was the food at the event. This is Disney World! A culinary icon! My job! My future!…..and yet the food was horrible. I was shocked to find the event so poorly catered but with over 4,000 people in attendance I wouldn’t have expected anything else.

The music was decent, and as I danced around I bumped into 4 CityTech students! I have only seen them a few times besides Nadia who was in my class this semester but besides that I was all alone! I was surprised not to see Jonathan at the event but it was too crowded and loud for me to barely find anyone.

On another note, work is excellent as always. I have a shift tonight 7pm-1am that I am not that excited about, these weird hours kill me! Next week I am working only 6 hour shifts and I cannot wait! These 8 hour closing shift begin to wear me down after a while and disturb my sleep!

Oh, and my shoulder. When I visited home last week I went to a shoulder specialist and he requested I get an MRI as usual I didn’t have enough time and spent it running around with my girlfriend and our families. I cannot wait to get home and get this checked out, it is honestly a major deal in my life right now and causes pain 24/7. It is actually getting sore just from me typing right now so I am going to cut this short! Adios

Oh and….
