Cosmo dreams.

Hey there my lovely readers,
I know I don't update this as often as I would like, but I promise I think about this blog daily. Maybe one day I'll reach thousands of views. I still don't know if anyone actually reads my blog, but maybe one day people will. I came to the realization that if a stranger were to read my blog they wouldn't know much about me. They would know my name is Emily and that I work at Disney and that is probably the two biggest facts they'd get about me from this blog aside from the little information from my first post. I am a very unique kind of girl some might just call me weird, but it makes no difference to me. I guess I could write all about me, but I won't do that today. This post is going to be about one of my dreams. I just watched a movie called "Beauty and the Briefcase" with Hilary Duff and I related to it so much so it inspired me to write this post. It's about a journalist who wants to work for Cosmo magazine and trying to find love of course. I definitely recommend it. The reason I relate to it is because obviously my passion is writing and I am an aspiring journalist and dream of one day working for Cosmopolitan magazine. Ever since I was a little girl I loved to write and I knew early on that I wanted to be a journalist. Now that I am in college I still feel the same way. Most people change their majors countless times and I guess in a way I am no different because originally I wanted to double major in journalism and English, but I changed my mind. One thing that hasn't changed is the fact that I want to be a journalist. I know it's not a luxurious field to go into, but it's what I'm passionate about and I hope to become a great journalist one day. For a long time, I thought that my dream job would be to be the editor of my own magazine and I must admit that would be pretty amazing. I should probably never stop trying to get there, but now that I am getting older and getting closer to becoming a journalist I have realized that my dream job and what would make me happy and feel accomplished would be to work at Cosmopolitan magazine. It would be such an honor to work there. It is one of the most known magazines in the world and it's definitely my favorite magazine. I have a print and digital subscription. I read it every month and I think it is such a great magazine. I think most journalists at some point in their life have this dream, but for me it is a goal that I want to reach and accomplish. I am planning on getting my masters in journalism and I would love to attend Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for my masters because it is a great school and it is in New York where I can get a real taste of journalism. Living in New York is something I would love to do and I hope I get the opportunity to doing so. Working for Cosmo is definitely my most important long term goal. Can you imagine me going from this small personal blog to becoming a writer for Cosmo. I believe dreams do come true and I will work hard to achieve this goal. I just wanted to tell you guys about my dream of working for Cosmo. Well I'm off to read some Cosmo before getting ready for work. I'll write soon.
Have a magical day!

Sad News, Magical Days, and Updates!

Hey my lovely readers,
I hope you guys are doing great. I don't update this as often as I would like, but eleven days is better than like once a month, so it is definitely an improvement and hopefully will continue to improve. I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll get the sad news out the way first. Unfortunately, I was not selected to interview to be a Campus Representative. I admit I am kind of sad and was bummed to get that email, but I am a firm believer of things happen for a reason so I guess it just wasn't right. I feel like I am qualified and I worked hard on the application. Maybe they just have enough reps at Oshkosh right now, we'll see. Well that's enough with sad news.
In other news, in my last post I talked about my new friend and how we were going to hang out. We still have yet to do something outside of work, but I'm sure it will happen one of these days. We just met and it feels like we're already drifting, but it's okay we are still quote on quote friends.
Since I last wrote I got to talk to my grandparents and I had not done that in a while. It was nice to hear from them. I have also talked to my parents more often so that's nice as well. I miss them and Loly (my sister) so much. I can't wait to see them.
Well as you guys know the last time I wrote was the last day of peak season so thank God things have slowed down at work. From April 7th to April 27th that is the last day I know of my schedule so far I have worked and will work all night shifts. Which in reality I don't really mind. Especially because lately it has started to get warmer and I cannot imagine working in that heat. This heat made me realize this summer is going to be difficult to get through. I need to prepare for it starting like now. On Monday it was 90 degrees and we're in April. It was surprising, I am definitely not use to this kind of weather especially the humidity. I have to be strong because I will make it through my program. On a positive note it was supposed to rain like almost all last week and it only rained once. Monday was a great day and I will get there in just a second, but this relates to the weather. I really need to stop thinking that I don't burn because I didn't put on sunscreen and well lets just say that was a mistake. I do burn and my face, shoulders, and chest are proof that I need to start wearing sunscreen more often.
On another note, I have been going crazy because I have been craving Mexican and Puerto Rican food. I can't believe I have been here over three months and haven't had Hispanic food since I left. I cannot wait to go home and be able to eat some or hopefully find good places here. I've also wanted to go out to eat, but that probably won't happen for a while. Oh well. Lets see. Random news. From April 7th through the 13th nothing exciting happened that I can remember. Except like three things. I was off on the 8th, but I stayed home all day. At night I hung out with the roomies for a little bit for the first time in a while. I also found out that my ex is married. Once again things happen for a reason. Also, I don't remember what day it was, but Joel bought me pizza and had it delivered to my house it was so adorable. :) Last Friday, he picked up a shift in parking and after we went to McDonald's and got to hang out for a bit before I worked and he took me to work so that was nice. He is such a good friend. I don't know what I would do without him. I'm so glad we're friends. A random fact is we got four new full time transfers and are getting more part time new people, so we're going to have new faces in the parking lot. Well that's basically all my updates from April 7th through April 13th. Now the last three days have had quite some magic and they have been great. I will give you guys an overview of the last three eventful days.
Sunday April 14th. I finally got to hang out with my cp friends/co-workers Zach, Nicole, Leara, and Annie. We went to Hollywood Studios before work and it was so fun. We rode Tower of Terror twice. I have never rode a ride twice especially one I am afraid of, but it was awesome. We rode the Great Movie Ride which I love. We also rode Star Tours. They rode Rockin' Roller Coaster, but I wasn't ready for that yet haha. We walked around. I got some nachos. Before we left I bought my friend Cory and myself some food. Then it was work time. It was a six hour shift, but it was a crazy shift. First, it was the only day it rained all week, like I mentioned before. Then, my friend Leara and I were on a Tram and it went 101 so we had to shut it down. That was the first time I was on a tram that broke down. The reason our tram broke down was because it was low on oil because it was leaking so then the tram lane was full of oil and our tram lane was technically 101 and we had to drive by the planters instead of on the regular tram lane to make sure our guests were safe. Towards the end of my shift, they had said it was not going to rain anymore and then it starts pouring. I was like what is this. It was crazy rain. Lucky for me, I was only out there for a few minutes. Well I had so much fun in the park and work was actually kind of fun with all the craziness. It ended up being a good day.
Monday April 15th. I spent my entire day with Joel and it was just amazing and magical. Yes, I always have fun when I'm with him, but this day was just omgee. It was truly excellent. First, we went to epcot which I love so much. It is my favorite park so I'm always happy when I go there. We walked around and then went through the World Showcase and I did some shopping. I bought candy from around the world instead of drinks haha. We got to ride Soarin' which is my favorite attraction at Disney World and it made me so happy! :D It was his first time and I'm glad we got to ride it. After epcot, we went to the Boardwalk which I have been dying to go to. I was so excited. The Boardwalk is like the cutest place ever. It has my new favorite store even though I don't remember what it's called ha. Literally, it's so adorable and like so romantic and it would be the perfect place for a date. That's definitely something to add to my life bucket list have a date at the Boardwalk haha. It even has a little like beach area with sand, even though you can't swim there it's still cute. Also, I decided I want to stay at the Yacht and Beach Club one day, it's precious. After the boardwalk we went to the magical Taco Bell haha, just kidding, but we went to go eat at Taco Bell and there I found out I looked like a tomato and he didn't tell me haha. It was fun. Then we went to spend the rest of our day at the most magical place on earth Magic Kingdom, not to say that I don't find all of Disney property magical because obviously I do. Magic Kingdom was so fun. We walked around. We went into the Emporium and I found my dad the perfect gift even though I kinda want it for myself. ;) We rode Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and Peter Pan's Flight. He made my day because he told me he wanted me to watch the Electrical Parade and Wishes because I never have seen Wishes. I know, I know. I will soon. I told him though I didn't want him stuck in that traffic, so that we could do it another day. On the way out the park we found the perfect spot to watch the parade from and we actually watched it and I love that parade. Then we took the ferryboat to the Ticket and Transportation Center and I like riding that boat. As you can tell, it was a very eventful day and I had so much fun and I was so happy. I honestly, could not ask for a more perfect day.
Tuesday April 16th. Yesterday was so fun. It was my first Tuesday off ever. All four of us were off and that never happens so it was awesome. We took advantage of that and we went to a roomie lunch plus Evan at Panera. It was so good. Then we came home and just relaxed and Theresa went to class. Later on, Joel took me to Walmart and I finally got to go grocery shopping yay! I am so excited to have food ha. We had planned last night for a while now. We had a Wreck It Ralph movie night. It was all the roomies, Joel, Evan, and then we invited Marissa we also had unexpected guests for a few minutes. Theresa's friends. We ate chinese food from a place called Citrus Garden and it was good. I don't usually eat Chinese food so it was a nice change. Me and Theresa made Oreo balls, which I'm craving at the moment so I hope there are still some left. We watched Wreck it Ralph and it was the cutest most adorable movie ever. I cried a little. It was such a fun night and with perfect company. I feel so blessed for having them in my life. Well that was basically it.
Today it's back to work for me. It was nice having two days off in a row it had been a while. Next week I'm back to having Monday and Thursday and I'm okay with that. I really need to focus and do school work. I really wanna get an A in the class. I work six hours today so hopefully it's not bad and it goes by fast. I work every day until Monday and probably won't do much before work except hopefully homework and maybe update this. Saturday I might go to Blizzard Beach, but we'll see. I guess that's all I have for now. Sorry if this post is really long. Wonder if anyone will actually read it in it's entirety or at all. If you read my blog, as always don't be afraid to comment or contact me. Tell me what you think, or what I should write about. I love constructive criticism or just comments. Love you guys, whoever you may be. <3 Thanks for reading. I will talk to you guys soon. I'll try to post some pictures.
Have a magical day!

In Need of Disney

Hello to my lovely readers,
I thought I would write this quick post because I'm in the mood for writing. As you guys know I have been working a lot lately and barely have had time for anything else. Working so much has made me want to go have some fun. I want to go to the parks and just have fun. I want to go to all the parks again and go to the Boardwalk which hopefully I will get to go to soon. I want to go to Downtown Disney because it has been a while. I also want to go to Universal. I need more days off. I want to do so much, but actually have to find time and go do them. I also have to find time to do school work, because the semester is coming to a close and I really want to pass this class. Well I just wanted to tell you guys I am in need of Disney adventures and hopefully I get them soon. I finally have two days off next week so hopefully I'll do something fun. Well I love you guys, though I have no idea who reads my blog or if anyone does. For anyone who does go check my roomies blog http://workingforthemousetbh.blogspot.com/ she has tons of adventures as well. I can't wait in the next few weeks something exciting will happen, but I can't tell you guys yet, until it happens then I will tell you guys all about it. I am so excited though that's all I could tell you guys for now. I'll write soon. Please do tell me if you're reading my blog leave comments. Tell me if there's anything you want me to write about. Have a magical day!

Just a little rant and an update.

Hey my dear lovely readers,
I am sorry if I sound whiny at all in this post. It's almost one am and I just need to write and get some things out. It is extremely difficult keeping up with a blog when you work at Disney especially during peak season. I don't know how people do it. I am glad peak season is soon coming to an end because it is stressful. Though it won't be for long with Star Wars Weekends quickly approaching. So much has happened and yet nothing at all lately. I worked 15 days straight and it was supposed to be 17, but i overslept today and felt awful and got an unexpected visit from an unwanted visitor so I called in sick and it made me feel worse because it made feel depressed. I really didn't want to call in or to get another point. :( I know I'm going to regret it, but it's too late now. So lately I feel like I have been in a sort of routine. All I do is sleep, eat and work. I have had all night shifts with the exception of two entire day shifts and a morning shift. I'm not complaining just stating facts. Disney is a very magical place, but truth be told there are days that it is not so magical. I do like my job and I love the people I work with, but I don't know some days are stressful. I feel stressed out because there is so much I have to do and want to do, but it feels like I don't have enough time. I like never want to go to work, but once I get there I don't mind. Anyways I'm really bummed about not going to work today because I really want to be a campus representative and I want to have a good record card and now I have three points. :'( Hopefully I still get it because I really want it. It's been roughly two weeks since I last wrote because these past two weeks have been spring break which is peak season here at Disney. Not much has gone on aside from eating, sleeping, and working. Just a few things. I finally got to meet someone I have wanted to meet for a long time. It was a blessing and it made me realize good things do come with patience. I think us meeting was the start of a great friendship so lets see where we end up. Also, I have to file a law suit for my car accident so that's something else I have to worry about which sucks. I registered for a summer class here at Disney which is going to suck, but I'm excited. I am also registered for my fall classes at UW Oshkosh so hopefully I don't lose my acceptance. I really need to step up my game with my school work and hopefully I pass my class. I think starting tomorrow or should I say today things should go back to normal at work for a while I hope. I work all night shifts and finally have one day off this week and two next week. It sucks my awesome paycheck won't be so awesome anymore since I didn't work today. I'm supposed to go to Sea World tomorrow, but I don't know if I will be able to. :( Hopefully I still hang out with my new friend. On the bright side of things I finally got to hang out with Joel after what seemed like a long while. He gave me an easter basket and a bunny it made my day. Then we went to epcot and I finally got to see Illuminations that I was dying to see because I love it so much. I had so much fun and I was happy to get to spend time with him finally, I missed spending time with him. I love all my friends a whole bunch, but I am so glad I met him. He's one of the most amazing people I have ever met. He's an wonderful friend who seems to genuinely care about me and my well being and always makes me smile and he's so sweet. I'm sure gonna miss him when I leave. Every time I think about it, it makes me want to cry. I don't have to think about that right now. I know we'll be friends no matter the distance. I wonder what he would say about what I just wrote if he ever read my blog. Well he's just the best friend a girl could ever ask for. We are friends and nothing more, but he makes me feel special and no one has done that in such a long time. Him, my roommates and my sister are the reason I am making it through all these stressful times. I miss home a whole bunch specially my sister. Can't wait to see her. I got to talk to my mom and dad today or technically yesterday and it was so nice. Well I guess that's basically it. I'll stop here for now and will update you guys soon. To anyone who reads my blog thank you. I really do appreciate it, it makes me feel loved and like I might one day make it as a writer though I write so informal here and I know I have a lot of improving to do. I'd love to know if you read it and what you think. Don't be afraid to comment or reach out to me. Good night. Love you guys. <3
Have a magical night everyone!
