It happened just like last time. I got here, and the busy-ness of work and stress/joys of Disney life took over.
Check-in day was smooth. Long, but smooth. We only waited in line for about 30 minutes before we started moving and going in. I got placed in a 3 bedroom in Chatham, and so did Drew. We found out we're in the same building! Not only that, but I actually got assigned his old apartment! Crazy how things work out.
I didn't have any roommate preferences whatsoever, so it was all up in the air.
When I arrived to my apartment, there was a silly looking, chubby, girl, who immediately introduced herself in an awkward way, and I knew something was strange about her. -- She is no longer our roommate, because she ended up being just as crazy as I suspected.
Other than her, no one was there yet. In one bedroom, someone had put their stuff on a bed, strange one was in another, and one bedroom was empty, which I took.
I went to eat lunch at Sweet Tomatoes with Drew. When I came back, two more roommates had arrived. The first thing they did was ask if I could move to another bedroom so they could be together. It was obnoxious and a frequent newbie mistake to think that Disney assigned this person to be your roommate, like Freshman year of college or something, but I did it none-the-less.
Anyways, eventually the other two roommates came, blah blah.
They're fine, I guess. But we don't have much fun together. I think two of them hang out with each other on a pretty frequent basis, but that's all. No one's really friends. It's really not fun. I'd love to have roommates who want to go out with me and do things, or play in the parks, or eat food, or shop, or whatEVVVVER.
As per usual, I'm making more friends at work than I have in my apartment, and more boys than girls as well. Drew's getting a little insecure this time around, since he doesn't know the people I hang out with from work.
I'm pretty much friends with everyone I work with, especially in regards to CPs. I started a little DHS ODF tradition of going out to B Dubs every Wednesday night at 10:30.
You see, Outdoor Foods is a pretty solitary role. Occasionally, there are carts we'll work at with another person, but for the most part, it's me and some ice cream. Or popcorn. Or pretzels, nachos, and churros. So, as you might imagine, it's not the easiest place to make friends, since we're not in too close a proximity to each other too often.
I deemed it necessary to have this weekly hang out session in order to become better friends. And it sure does seem to be working. Each week, more people show up, and we have more fun than we did the week before. It's brought people together who never spoke before. I would say, "Hey so-and-so, this person is coming tonight! Aren't you excited?" And so-and-so would say, "Who's this person?" And then they meet. I'm the glue.
I recently applied and had an interview for the Professional Internships this Fall. I'll post a separate blog about that. I also want to post one just about my role- my responsibilities, adventures, likes, dislikes, etc.
Enjoy!
