Week 3

Week 3:          Date:   January 23- 29

Summation:

I started the week with Sunday at work. We weren’t supposed to be busy but ended up being really busy because it started raining. I got slammed with desserts and room service at the same time and before I knew it I was in the weeds but I got myself out and it was so empowering! This made Monday really exciting because I wanted to go to work. I remembered everything on my prep list; which felt good too. It was a slow night of only 150 so that was really good. Tuesday was exciting because that was the day I was moving! At long last, I get to move away from the crappy apartment they placed me in. I was moving to the other side of the complex and I woke up early so I could pack and move before I had to go to work. I got that done and most of my stuff unpacked and just in time to go to work. That day I worked I was going fast and it was another good day even though it was my 8^th day in a row working. I got home from work and there were a bunch of Brazilians in the stairwell and they offered for me to go drinking with them. I refused them after they started playing with my hair and Katie and I played uno. Wednesday Katie, Austin, and I went to Hollywood studios. It was awesome because we spent 7 hours there and still didn’t get to do everything! We went on the tower of terror twice, the rockin roller coaster, the toy story mania, the Indiana Jones show, and the special effects tour. We ended the night with a good meal at Prime Time Diner. It was really fun because our waitress acted like our aunt. She said there are three rules: no elbows on the table, no toys at the table (phones, cameras, etc.), and place nice with others. There was a boy that didn’t eat his vegetables and had to sing “Mary had a little lamb.” Thursday was my last day off and I relaxed and slept a lot and then went to a pirate party Disney was throwing. I hung out with my new roommate Becky Lee, and then cleaned the kitchen for 4 hours with my other roommate, Elvira. Friday I went back to work and it was ok. My head chef was the closing chef and he was nit-picking my every move. We were really busy with 300 covers and it was crazy busy the whole night. Saturday was much the same because Chef Anthony was the closing chef again and was yelling at me for ridiculous reasons like forgetting to get an ice cream scoop. All the other sous chefs and cooks are really nice. So for the most part, I love the team I am with. I was really busy on Saturday with 300 covers again but this time I prepped way more and had help from the prep chef, Richard; who is really funny. All in all, a very tiring week but one that was filled with learning and fun.
