June 1st 2008:
Today was both good and bad.It started out pretty crappy because i decided last night that i no longer wanted to continue with lifeguarding, i didn't want to do the test and i didn't want to do it as a job while i was here.It is too much responsibility and i came here to have fun,not to panic every time i see a child go under. I also don't feel that two days training was enough for me to feel confident in passing all 3 tests so in the long run it is for the benefit of everyone that i quit before i go any further.
I told our trainer and his reaction shocked me because he had been a complete hard ass all through the past 2 days and then he was just really nice to me and was almost surprised and disappointed that i was quitting but i explained to him and he said he understood where i was coming from but if i decided i had made a mistake he would help me and i could redo the class!! So that relieved me.
I spoke to the recruitment people and left them a message so someone is going to get back to me about my other options as what i can work as. I am quite nervous cos it could be anything but then again after doing the lifeguarding i think any other job will seem so easy.I really am hoping for something with guest interaction so i can be all cheesy and smiling and tell them to "have a magical day" and call the little girls princess and tell them how pretty they look and stuff. One of my friends here works in pin trading and a little girl was telling her she was upset because she didn't get to meet Tinkerbell and her tooth had come out and she was worried the tooth fairy wouldn't come because she missed seeing Tinkerbell. So when the little girl was out of earshot,my friend gave her Mum a Tinkerbell pin (free) to put under the little girls pillow so that when she woke up she thought Tinkerbell had been!!!
I wanna be able to do things like that, so that i can make a child's experience of Disney as amazing as mine has been so far!! So fingers crossed for me guys !!!
Another thing that happened today which has to be mentioned, is, i realised what a good friend i have in my mate Raj. That boy is the kindest and most amazing friend i could ever ask for and i only hope that anyone reading this blog has a friend thats even half the one he is.Without that boy i would not have got through so much and i will never be able to say how much i think of him and how amazing he is!! I think being away from people you care about shows us how much we think of them and i have seen how much i care for Raj and for my friends at home and most of all for my family.I spoke to my little sister Emily today and she is having a stressful time with her schoolwork and she said to me "You mean the world to me" and i thought,you know what i love you so so much.I was trying to think of a way to explain how much she meant to me and i had no idea what to say,nothing seems enough.
Well back to today...
I had a really chilled out day at the pool and then went for some food!! I just enjoyed not having that intense training all day!! It was so much better just chillin out!! Going to see "Sex And The City" now so i will just blog tomorrow about tonight!!!
Bye for now xxx
