Middle of the Road

Hi There!!
I am SO sorry this post has taken me a week- yikes! I had a 44 hour work week so I guess that may explain a little of my absence :)

Things here have changed direction since last weekend and it's been really nice. While I was working a LOT [two 12 hour days in a row!], I also had the chance to enjoy myself at night and have a little fun :) 

Last week the college program threw a blast off party for all college program employees of the Magic Kingdom. After work, the girls and I headed into tomorrowland for an evening of free snacks and tomorrowland rides, including space mountain with the LIGHTS ON!!!!! We had so much fun and it was wonderful to spend time with my co-workers away from the boutique. I am gettem a lot better which makes work a lot easier to get through :) 

        

Above are pictures of some of my fellow FGIT's at the blast off party :)

Last week I also headed to Universal's "City Walk" just to get out of the apartment and away from work! Lights, Music and Food are everywhere and it was a lot of fun just to walk around and get starbucks :) We are heading back there soon because there is a huge karaoke club with a live band and background dancers! Although we weren't there for long, we managed to get some pictures!! 

    

Other interesting info for the week......
1. A lizard got into my room somehow and I was freaking out because he was running around my ceiling! A friend caught him with a cup ...whew!
2.  I had to handle 2 CASES of head lice this week at the boutique :( After doing a little math and realizing that you CANNOT have any problem with germs to work at disney here's what I've come up with: 

We see 200 kids a day in the boutique and out of that group 1-2 will have head lice. The total number of guests in the park right now is approx. 22,000/day. .... This means that there are 120-220 cases of un-diagnosed head lice in Magic Kingdom EVERY DAY! AHHHHHH. Freaky haha, but welcome to my world! 

3. I've really been praying for my spiritual walk during my time here. These prayers have been for myself as well as my apartment, friends and roomates. Some really cool opportunities have presented themselves this week for me to talk with my roomates and some even shared that they'd been waiting for me to talk about religion...That was a little strange to hear at first but I guess it makes sense and I'm sure they were watching kind of carefully to see what kind of religious girl I am. Anyway, they asked me to start a bible study in our apartment! I am still praying about the details, but I think I know the needs of the girls involved and am excited to see what God does :) What an incredible transformation from last week! Prayers for everyone's hearts and for guidance from Him would be so wonderful. 

Tonight I am preparing for 5 more days of work- thank goodness I have sunday and monday off next weekend!! I am not sure what exciting events this week will hold, but if I can get through my 13 hour day tomorrow i'll be fine! Bible Study may be happening sometime on wednesday so prayers throughout the day and evening would be great :)

I miss you all so much!! It looks like I may have a 4 day weekend to run home to KC but we'll see :) Have a FANTASTIC week, praying for you all!! 
Love,
Laura
