Just an Update!

Hi everyone!

I apologize for not updating my blog for such a long time! I've been so busy and have been procrastinating as I do so well.

For starters, work has been fun. I am mostly spending my days working at Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square, or French Market, and the occasional day at Veranda and Harbour Galley.

Mint Julep Bar is fun because it's busy and fast-paced, and that makes the day go by quickly. We sell specialty coffee drinks, those tasty Mickey-shaped beignets and of course, the mint julep (which I think is absolutely grotesque). It is a "minty limeade" (which is what we tell guests when they ask what it is) which is way too sweet and Colgate-y. I have also been working a few shifts at the French Market restaurant. As a cashier there, I do not usually touch the food. I am sitting at a register at the end of a buffeteria (buffet/caffeteria style restaurant) line to ring up guests' food and take their money. French Market offers soups in bread bowls, salads, sandwiches, and cajun pasta, meatloaf, jambalaya, and chicken. I like working here because it is fun interacting more with guests than I get to do at Veranda, Galley and Mint Julep Bar.

As for my college program course, Corporate Analysis, we just finished up our research projects. Each student chose a part of the Walt Disney Company to research, write a paper about, and discuss as a group presentation to the class. I had the honor of studying Pixar, which was really fun. I gave a short summary on the company and their many achievements and had to identify how they exemplify the Walt Disney Company's three business priorities which are: technology, innovation and global expansion. I discussed the types of groundbreaking technology that Pixar has invented to help them create the amazing stories and characters they have. I also touched on how they are an internationally known and loved company and that their movies are worldwide hits.

My next big assignment in class is a paper on Corporate Culture, which is mainly about the Disney way of doing business, their priorities and traditions and how I am a part of that.

Well, I think that's it for now. Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon!
