Day 108: Last Day of Class

So, as the title suggests, today was my last day of Human Resource Management. All we did was our group presentations. We had to pick a company to discuss multiple aspects of their HR policies. We picked Nike.

When I got to class, I informed my professor that one kid in our group wasn't responding to our messages and we never received his portion of the project. We covered for his part, but we just wanted the professor to know that we had to do that bit very last minute.

We presented fourth out of six groups. It went very smoothly, and I felt that we did good enough on the presentation to receive a good grade. We got out of class early because all we were doing was group presentations.

I had the rest of today off, so I just watched some Netflix and began packing up some random stuff because I'll be moving apartments soon enough.

'Til next time!

Day 58: Solo Trip to the Movies

Today, I had class 1:30-5:30. During my break, I got a call from someone at Disney Vacation Club Marketing to schedule an interview with them!

If you remember correctly, when I applied to the Disney Marketing PI, they said they would pass my information on to any departments that they felt I might be a good fit for. After that, they could try to get in contact with me. So this is that. I was able to make an appointment for tomorrow! Such short notice, but I think it's better that way- then I can't overthink it.

After class got out, I went to go see the live-action Cinderella by myself. I loved it so much! I thought it was really well done. And Prince Charming was gorgeous. I almost lost my car in the Downtown Disney parking lot, but I found it eventually!

'Til next time!

Day 23: My First Day of Class and EPCOT!

Yes, I skipped a day. I worked yesterday, but nothing of interest happened. As much as I enjoy the work I do at the Contemporary Resort, I really wish I could have worked in the parks. I know I can pick up shifts there, but it still stinks because I do prefer a faster paced work environment, and the shops are literally dead a huge portion of the time. That's frustrating, but I can't really complain, because I do get to do lots of fun stuff!

So, today was my first class. I am taking two classes but one starts next week. Today was my first day of Human Resources Management. 4 hours is a long time to be a classroom though, so if you're interested in taking a class, make sure to keep that in mind. That being said, I thought the first day was interesting! It's a lot of stuff I've already heard in previous classes at Alabama, but it's still fun to be doing something like this through Disney.

After class, I picked up Tess and Alayna and we headed to EPCOT. We had time to go on Spaceship: Earth and Ellen's Energy Adventure before shopping at MouseGear for a while because our holiday discount ends in two days! We met up with Jen and watched Illuminations from outside the America pavilion which was different than any view I'd seen before.

'Til next time!
