May 31st 2008:
The reason for the title of todays post is because today has made me reconsider whether or not i want to lifeguard in Disney. I have had soooo much information thrown at me and i don't undersdtand half of it, i have had 2 1/2 days to complete a 2 week course and i have my test tomorrow.But the thing is i am questioning whether i even want to do lifeguarding here. My friends seem to be living the Disney experience,interacting with children and making them smile :) that what i want to do.I don't want to sit and watch a pool all day! I thought that being a lifeguard we would get to do some to her stuff but you literally sit and watch the pool and the test we have to do tomorrow is soooo hard,i doubt i will pass anyway!!
One of the guys quit today because he found it too emotionally challenging and he felt like he couldn't do it,that gives you a picture of what it is like. There is also another guy,Simon,Me and a girl called Nicole who want to quit and be re-casted to another occupation because it is soo hard and just stressful and we came to Disney to have fun,not to sit and panic every time a see a kid swim below the surface or whatever!! I think it's just really hit me how hard lifeguarding is.I underestimated the challenges and fell into the trap of thinking that i would just be chilling by the pool.
I am a bit sad today because of not being able to speak to my family as much cos of the crappy training and the hours i work mean that they are at work and school when i wake up and in bed before i even get in from work!! The 5 hour time difference is a killer! But i have a whole wall of pcitures to remind me of them when i get sad :( and i e-mail them and stuff! Its just hard being away from people you love so much.Because no matter where in the world i was or what i was doing,they would always be there in the forefront of my mind and my heart!
But anyway...i don't wanna sound negative because I'm not at all. I am having the best time of my life here and i have met some amazing people and seen some amazing things!!Everyone i meet goes crazy over my "accent" and they try to copy it which is the most hilarious thing i have ever heard!!American people cannot do the British accent!! I love mimicking them though and finding out words or phrases that are different or one's i haven't heard before!! Its so interesting talking to people about their schools/colleges and families and lifestyle and everything.I really am loving every minute of it!!
I am off to the hot tub now!!Going to have a relax and chill out before tomorrow because its test day and it will probably be stressful,plus i wanna wind down before i go to bed!!
Night,night xxx
