Have a Whale of a Day

It definitely didn't take me long to get the hang of all the procedures and such at the gift store. I worked the last few days and met a lot of people. For the most part I work with people who are either older or younger than me. I can name maybe two who are my age. I wish there were more college students actually working with me. The people I live with make up for the social interaction I don't get at work. My only struggle at work is that I don't speak Spanish. EVERYONE speaks Spanish!! My coworkers and the guests, even my manager will be speaking at me in Spanish. I'm always paranoid, wondering if they are all talking about me! HAHA! I need to start learning some basic vocabulary, so when the guests ask me a question I can help. I've encountered one couple where my three years of French came in handy. The other major group of people that visit SeaWorld are from England. Almost every guest who comes in has an English accent, (other than the Spanish speaking guests of course.)
Last night I had the pleasure of meeting my Aunt Lorraine and Auntie Debbie at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. What a beautiful place!! Outside her patio were giraffes, wildebeest, gazelle, and other safari creatures. Disney really does go all out. The three of us had dinner at their signature restaurant, Jiko. It was delicious. Today was another day working the Wild Creations counter. It was slow again today in the park, I'm anxious for it to pick up, time might go buy a little faster. My favorite part of the night is after 6pm. A DJ comes and places music right outside our store, his show is called After Dark. Tons of guests gather right at our door to dance and sing with the show. Its funny to watch all the little ones, (and the adults) have a dance off. Plus the SeaWorld employees inside the store like to get jiggy with it too. HAHA. Time moves a lot faster with the DJ going. Tomorrow is another regular shift but on Monday I have my first internship class. The Professionalism class runs from 9am-11am. I'm glad to have something to break up the workweek. I'll post what I learned after my shift Monday. Have a Whale of Day.
