It's funny how time goes by here. It feels very fast at the same time I feel like I have an infinite amount of time.

Earlier this week I had 2 days off. It was cold for Florida! (I know all of you in the Midwest are rolling your eyes)... I went to Magic Kingdom for the first time out of training with my friend Jesse and he took me on Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain roller coasters. Space Mountain freaked me out because you literally can't see anything, but I really liked Big Thunder Mountain surprisingly. I freaked out during the 30 minute wait, but after I got on it I was better. It was a good day besides it being cold. I also got to see my aunt again on Tuesday because she brought me my coat and talked for a bit. It was nice to see a familiar face amid all the new I am meeting.

Then yesterday I had my very first on the job training for Pin Traders. It's different than I imagined and yesterday wasn't the busiest day, but it should be interesting. Definitely a new experience and I know I'll be learning a lot about myself and others. I met a guy that works there that goes to UW- La Crosse, which was cool! And a girl I'll be working with a lot, named Candi, is from Maryland. She isn't the most enthusiastic to be at Pin Traders, but I think we'll make it fun. I have my next week's schedule and I am working nights mostly, which I am very happy about.

I've been getting up and running this week with Jesse. He sucks for making me get up, but I know he'll be a good friend while I'm here. But right now all I can think about it how my legs hurt and how I'm not a morning person, as most of you know. I can't wait until I have my night shifts and I don't have to get up at any special time.

Today I have a 6 hour computer training session about using a cash register and tomorrow I have an 8 hour on sight training on the cash register. I'm really wondering is 14 hours on a cash register is really necessary. I've used them before so I don't really understand the need for the excessive amount of hours, but I guess some people probably take awhile to get it. I guess we'll find out. Then Friday I have my assessment on my training and have to pass a 55 question test in order to start work on Saturday. Cross your fingers I pass!

I've been hanging out with a fun group of girls here too. We all have such different schedules though that it's hard to get together when we all have work in the morning or some of us have days off. Hopefully after the first couple weeks it'll calm down more where we don't feel so flustered to try to plan things. My friend Jenna, from Brookfield, WI, is really fun. I don't think I've laughed so hard since I've gotten here besides with her.

peace and love,

B
