122 Days in the life of a CP: Long week followed by a trip to Virginia followed by another long week

Last week my hours were not terrible, minus the 12 hour day and getting extended 1-3 hours more each day when I got into work. Thursday night I got extended to work a special event for one of the attraction sponsors. It was probably my favorite experience of the program so far. I got to work at the new venue I just got trained at a couple weeks ago, which I absolutely love. It is so interactive and all of the guests love it (or so it seems, maybe I'm just having so much fun it seems like everybody else is). There are 6 different positions we work at within the venue and rotate through, but for this event they let us pick which one we wanted to stay at for the whole time. I luckily got my favorite position and got to get up and move and interact with all of the special attendees that came through the venue. It was so much fun, I never expected older adults to get so into it as they did. After that evening ended at about 10:00PM, I had to get home and get ready because I was headed to Virginia the next morning for 48 hours. Of course, my flight got delayed an hour and then NOVA traffic was a disaster and the normal 45 minute drive took two and a half hours. Just lovely. Eventually I made it back and got to get my butt handed to me in team practice after not riding for 6 weeks, saw my lovely horse Achilles, and all my friends. It was a nice break to come back and see some familiar faces and of course spend time with my horse who I have missed so much while being in Florida. No matter how much I try to beg and plead my parents refuse to let him come down to Florida, but lucky for him he just gets pampered and fed lots of treats all day every day. Sunday I made my trek back to sunny Florida. The forecast was for snow in Virginia that day which caused me to have a minor freak out. Luckily the weather held off, my plane was on time, and we took off and arrived to Orlando with no problems. Today the weather was great and I somehow managed to get the day off. I ended up going to Hollywood Studios with people from work. Bad idea! Hello Holiday Weekend! Woops.. So we did not get to go on any rides because the wait was 60-120 minutes for pretty much everything. Such a waste. Tomorrow begins my work week... 8.5 hours tomorrow and a grand total of 47 over the next 5 days. I'll be sure to update as the week progresses. Stay warm northerners!
