Well, it was my second week in the BBB this week and it went
really well! I have learned all
the hairstyles now and am actually doing the hair for the little
princesses. I like it a lot. The princesses are really adorable and
seeing their face after their transformation is really special. It’s still a little nerve-wracking but
that will go away with time and practice.
I also think that I need to be a little faster, but that will come with
time as well.
It was definitely a long week, and I stayed up late a few
times, but I think my body is finally beginning to adjust to being tired. It will just be an ever-present part of
my life now. And I don’t say that
in a bad way, its just part of the life.
Although, even though I’m tired, I still feel like getting up and doing
things. I think that’s definitely
an improvement over my first few weeks when all I wanted to do was sleep.
Pirate night was really fun because I learned the pirate
make-up for boys, so I was transforming all sorts of pirates!
One of the really cool things that happened during the week
was that it’s now Christmas on the Disney Fantasy! Holiday services showed up on Saturday to put up most of the
Christmas decorations, including in the BBB! They are really cute and this week I am going to take
pictures of them, I am…
On Friday I had my wet drill in Castaway Cay. It was actually pretty fun! The sun was shining, the water was
gorgeous, and it was pretty fun to be in the water for a few hours. Wet drill is personal survival training
and is required by international maritime law. You have to learn about immersion suits for cold water,
lifejackets and life rafts. You
spend a lot of time in the water floating around in your lifejacket. Then you have to crawl on an overturned
life raft and flip it with another person. That was definitely the hardest part. Because you really can’t use your legs
to pull yourself up, you have to use your arms. And my arm strength sucks… but I did it!
Then it was back to work!
And, Friday night I got to take the “Earning My Ears” sticker off my
nametag! That means that I’m a
FGIT proper!
I said good-bye to another friend Friday night, but he’ll be
back – so it’s ok. My roommate is
also gone for a week. She went to
do some training on the island so I get the cabin all to myself for a
week. Everyone is so so so
jealous!!!
This morning was my first morning doing load. That’s freight. It wasn’t that difficult since I am
used to doing things like it for the Disney Store. We were done in a few hours so I got off the ship in Port
Canaveral and headed to Target! It
was awesome! I had a list and was
able to get most of it. Some
snacks, laundry detergent, a headband, etc…
I also got two Starbucks…
Tonight was fun because we had a new FGIT
(Fairy-Godmother-in-Training) in the BBB.
She’s from Canada and seems really nice. So while it’s fun not to be the new girl anymore, it’s also
nerve-wracking because now I’m supposed to know what I’m doing! We also get a new girl next week as
well because so many FGIT’s are going on vacation. It should be an interesting Christmas!
Speaking of Christmas, I did pick up a few Christmas
decorations while I was at Target, but I think I will have to maybe grab a few
more over the next month or so…
Well, I’m off to watch ‘Elf’ in the crew lounge – tomorrow
will be a long, busy sea day!
Steph :)
