The last couple of days

So, it's been a couple of days, and I'm starting to get in in the Disney lifesyle.
My computer suddenly died (not that I didn't expect that to happen, I just didn't want it to happen so soon...)The last cople of days has been good and eventfull.Thursday startet at 12.30 with more meetings, and more forms to fill out.everything is very well oraganised, so it's really no problem. It's very clear that theyre used to this.Thursday night it was time for our "throw-in"party, the national groups welcoming party for us rookies. We was introduced for the group ( the details must be left out, it's a secret. But I can say that no Floridan or Disney laws were broken) and went out on town.
Friday were our first day of, an me and some of the girls had a all girls day. first we went to the outlet mall and shopped (I didn't get anything..) than we went further up the street to a nail salong. some of us got manicures and one of the girls (Siri) got a pedicure. After the nailsalong we went to Publix (grocerystore) and bought icecream (guys, you should see the Icecreamshelf here!): and we went home to Fie and made dinner (pasta) and after dinner we sat down to watch a movie (Cinderella story) and eat icecream.At saturday we had our first day of "Work" - our traditionsclass at Disney university.the class started at 8, so the buss from commons left at 7, so it was an eary morning, and a loooooong day. we had all day in the classroom (exept from lunch - we ate in the tunnel/the backstage castmember lunchroom at magic kingdom). It was a hard day, not because the material we had to learn was hard, but because it was so long. They'd tried to make it fun with a lot of tasks and a posibility to win prices, but still.... I got a price though- a little tinkerbell for reading a section in the workbook (yes, there was a workbook). It wasn't really well done. My oral english isn't bad, but my reading sucks. It' alost worse than my writing... But I got a price anyway=)
After Traditions we got our schedual for the next three weeks, and they are full! This week is dedicated to general learning about Epcot, Disney and Norway Pavilion, including classes with E-learning and a class on Disney University. And Discoveryday at epcot! That'll be fun! My days off this week is monday and Wednesday. Next week I'll start my Training at Norway Pavilion! Hurray! And my traing will last the next two weeks, including some days in the bakery, one day in the biercarten, one day as greeter, one day as setter and one day in the kitchen. after traditions we went out to Downtown Disney, and I/we went wild in the Princess store and played with all the dresses. it was fun!


Today us in food startet really early. We had to meet at Epcot cast service at 7. am!! That ment that we had to take the bus from the commons at 6. I was up 5.15. and it's really not our last early morning. already at thursday we start at 7 again. that time at the university.
Today we had e-learning. That'll say, learning about diferent things considering our evrydaylife in the park - chemicals, hazards, serving of alcoholic beverages and stuff like that. after training we went and got our costumes! hurray! The Norwegian costume, for those who doesn't know is a Bunad, the Norwegian National costume. Though it's not a real one it's a nice copy/replicant of one. Everybody looked so nice!
After training and fitting, me and the girls went to magic kingdom!!
Our first trip to Disney World (that was not backstage), and it was fun. I had to leave ealy to catch the last mass at Mary Queen of the universe Shrine here by The commons at six, but I got to see the 3'o clock parade and ride the Splash mountain. it was so fun! When i Finallly got of the bus at the commons it was already six, and I had to run to the church. just made mass =)
