It’s already been three months since I had been here, and I only had one month left. Time goes so fast. I remembered the first day that I came here, I was so nervous to live with different kinds of people. However, I made it. There’s only one month left, and now I started counting down. Overall, this week was not bad. The only thing that made me stressful was my role as a runner. On Tuesday, I supported to do the turn down on the fifth floor. However, they changed my position since someone called in for sick. And the position was a runner at Villa, where I never work. I didn’t have other choices besides Villa. Therefore, I didn’t know every single linen room that located in Villa. If you were the runner in Villa, you had to take care of the whole building, which had five floors. I was so nervous when I got a call or message. It stressed me a lot. However, before seven o’clock, I got a ton of calls came. So I kept finding stuff and running to deliver. And for most of the time, I couldn’t deliver the stuff by one time. For instance, a guest required 6 pillows, 20 hangers, 2 blankets, and 2 queen size sheets. I only had two hands, how could I hold so many things in both hands without any carts? So I delivered twice to the same room, and I apologized to the guest that I couldn’t hold so many things in one time. I was glad that the guest understood me and still appreciated my hard-work. Overall, it was a rush night for me, and I felt so tired after that.
This week was my last week for my classes. I learned a lot from both classes and I met many friends from both classes. I gain much information that I never knew before from both classes especially the Human Resources class. I believe this class was very helpful for my future.

Though the night was stressful I am sure it was beneficial. You now have a broader understanding of the overall operations of Disney and the roles and responsibilities of various cast members. This will prove valuable when you are on an interview or reflecting on a position in general. I am happy you had a chance to do this. What other positions did you have a chance to work on while on your internship?
They scheduled me to train in the base this week. However, since someone called in sick, I had to replace him. Since the occupancy was so low this week, we only had 15 cast members that worked in the night shift. Therefore, I didn’t have a chance to train in the base.
