Happy Halloween everyone!

Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing well.  I have been finding that I am getting more and more homesick.  This round at the College Program has been significantly easier because I have Kris there to support me and comfort me when I find myself missing my family, but it's still difficult to be without them for so long.  Work has been going pretty steady.  Next week I will be cross-training to Tomorrowland ODV, where I will be doing what I did the last college program. It's kinda cool, because I'll know what I'm doing already, and it'll be pretty easy to catch on quickly.  I'll let you guys know how that goes.
Tomorrow Kris and I will be going to Mickey's Trick or Treat Party at Disneyland. We're dressing up as pirates, so I'm excited for that.  The College Program is also having a Halloween Party this Thursday, which I can use my costume for as well.  Pretty much just going to go there for the free dinner, but it should still be fun.
Classes have been going pretty well so far.  Marketing You has been very interesting.  I made business cards, and I will learn how to write a resume, and other things to help me market myself in the business world.  It's a very useful class.  The Corporate Analysis class was the one that I was looking forward to becasue it's all about the Walt Disney Company, but it is actually a little more boring than I had though it would be.  I had my midterm for that class today, and I think I did pretty well.   
So far work has been pretty much the same.  Lots of hard work, very fast paced, and annoying guests.  I mean, there are some good guests, but honestly there are just so many bad ones, it's hard to reflect on the good.  OH, and I also had an epiphany the other day: There is no word that is so awful as the word "Ranch".  It is the WORST word ever. Just say it out loud.  There is no attractive way of saying that word.  The reason I found this out is because ranch not only happens to be the most popular salad dressing, but also a popular dip for pizza.  So I literally hear that word about 50 times a day.  Also, if you are a ranch fan and are 70% sure you're going to get ranch... just ask for it.  Don't ask me to list the 6 salad dressings we have, just so that at the end of that spiel, you can blurt out the most offensive word ever created at me. That's just rude.
Soooo.... I think that's all I have for you for now.  Again, I'll try to update more recently, but it's so weird how a month can go by without me writing a blog, and I won't even realize. Goodbye for now. :)
