WORLDS SLACKEST BLOGGER

So after Em decided to create a blog I decided it was about time I do another blog post. Haha thanks Em for the motivation. So what can I say... Well since my last blog post I had the opportunity to live in Florida... definitely the best experience ever! I was posted at Blizzard Beach Water Park but I did work at Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and a few other resorts around Walt Disney World. Not to mention a few of the other parks when we were closed from the weather being too cold. I know right Florida too cold! But it's true it does happen. I also had the opportunity to participate in a few different things while I was working. Firstly Junior Lifeguard... that was pretty sweet we had like a mini in-service (lifeguard training) in the morning before the park opened and then we had one of our junior lifeguards on stand with us. Then I had the opportunity to participate in a lifeguard competition held throughout all of Disney including the cruise ships... not that they came. It was a great learning experience. Try outs, lots of training and of course pressure but so worth it. End result = Lost in Translation (my team) from Blizzard Beach ISOC champions for 2010. That's right! Never in a million years did I think I could do that or would have attempted it without having my coordinators believe in me. I also met a great guy who I started dating. I have learnt a lot from him and even though we are no longer together I am very grateful for the experiences we shared and for all he taught me. Well that is the briefest of brief summaries for 2010. I might update some more later when I have more motivation.

So this year 2011... I came back home to lil old Tassie! I was so pleased to be home after my crappy flight experience courtesy of QANTAS. When I finally arrived home it was so great to see my family and how much my lil niece had grown. She is gorgeous! I was lucky to pick up a contract for the first month back at school at a local high school. I got braces so my teeth can become straighter :) Since then most of my year was spent relief teaching, dealing with a break- up, Hanging out with Em while she was back in Tas and then I picked up another contract until the end of the year. I am currently getting ready for my trip back to Florida for a wedding and to catch up with the great friends I have made in Florida/ Utah and around America.
