10/12/10

 Not much to update here, I've been working a lot which is good and bad, making the money, but not having much time for anything else. I work mostly all late shifts so I go into work at 4pm and finish up around 12:30am. It's nice because it's not as hectic as it is in the morning, I find I have more time to talk to guests and make conversation while helping them with their bags. I had a guest who came in last week and he wanted to know about the dining plan, I wasn't busy so I took him over to concierge and we learned the dining plan together. Who knew Kouzzina Restaurant counted as 2 points on the meal plan? I sure didn't. Anyways, I've seen him each day and he has remembered me by name and always comes up to say hi and update me on he and his wife's vacation. These are the guests I live for, the ones who truly appreciate what you do for them and are as kind to you as you are to them. They left yesterday and I was sad to see them go.

I'm adapting well to working late. I work till midnight, play some Halo or Call of Duty with my roommates till 2ish, then head to bed, wake up at 11, chill or workout, then go to work, and repeat haha. I've started working out again which is awesome, I'm glad I'm back in the groove.

I can't seem to keep my room clean for more than a few days. I try to tell myself that I'm a clean person and I need to keep my room clean, but I never stick to it. Oh well, there are worse habits to have. Everything has its place, right?

I just went around and confirmed the reservations for my family and friends next week. I'm so pumped! It's gonna be a busy week, but I'm so excited to see everyone. I'm staying with my friends at the All-Star Movies Resort and am so excited for a change of scenery and time away from apartment living. I've got so much planned, it's gonna be epic.

The weather has been amazing the past few days. It's a little steamy today, but beautiful none the less. No clouds, a cool breeze, pretty sweet. It's supposed to stay in the low 80's for a while, then I guess it'll start getting cooler. Floridians freak out about having their coldest winter last winter, I asked one what was the record low and he responded somewhere in the low 30's. I think I laughed out loud. I mean, that's cold for Florida but I'm used to a whole lot colder haha. I love cold weather, it makes me feel so good that Fall and Winter are coming. My favorite seasons coming up, I can wear sweatpants and jackets again. It's too hot in the summer down here, humid and gross, I'm not a fan. 

My biggest observation so far of this internship experience is that it has made me miss being at HPU and being a student. I am totally not ready to be fully employed yet. Believe it or not, I miss having papers due and having homework. Mainly because I am able to do it on my own time. Down here, I have to follow a strict schedule. I don't mind it, but I would rather do things when inspiration hits me. I miss the baseball team and hanging out with my friends. I really am excited to go back to school. I have a much to learn about business before I move on and find a job in the real world. 

I cannot wait for my family and friends to get down here. I haven't seen them in forever and am so excited to see them. I'll probably post after they come down. ttfn.
