"Work hard, play hard"

I wish I could say that the above statement relates to me, however my situation at the minute is more like "work hard and sleep".

Work has me working long long hours that leave me so tired I feel as though I'm about to crash any minute and pass out. Aside from the long hours however, I have learnt a lot over the past few weeks..!


-Ive been put in charge (with another staff member) of a weekly event that is put on by the entertainment staff, which is pretty exciting..!
-I'm learning how to play poker...and actually won the poker tournament...!!! with the help of some friendly guests though..but Im sure that soon i'll be able to play all by myself and won't be the first person out.
-Starting to get the hang of the ernie costume and how to actually walk and dance and interact while wearing it...A LOT HARDER THAN IT MAY SEEM KIDS. YOU ACTUALLY SWEAT THE LIFE OUT OF YOU.

In other news...today was the first time I didn't see the sun since I've been here. Only rain rain rain. And for the next few days that is all that is to be expected here, as Tropical storm Sandy is on its way...If it hits, it will certainly be an interesting experience for me, to say the least...

Three weeks today...

Hello lovelies!

I know it's been a while...but here's an update on my Caribbean life!...

I've officially been here 3 weeks today..!!! WAAH so crazy.
Been working evening shifts the past week and this week again, and I actually really enjoy them, aside from the fact that I get crazy tired. I mostly work till midnight or 1am, which is a whole new experience for me, but its nice being able to not always work by the pool everyday.
Some of the things I do include shows on stage, beach parties, fashion shows, game shows and muuch more!

Did a bit of exploring today..aka, went to the bank by myself.....and got a vanilla latte ice coffee..think thats my exploring done for the day! The idea of taking a jitney (taxi) though is something that i'll probably never get used to. Standing on the corner of a street, waiting for the jitney to honk at you, and you get in the car...sounds to much like prostitution to me for some reason...Either way, it gets me from point A to B.

Already have my off day planned...going on a boat trip! Which i'm really looking forward to! Will definitely take lots of pictures :)

Speaking of pictures...here are a couple from the other day...

thats it for now kids.

Little update on life here! Completed my first week of work and I'm loving it. I work as part of the entertainment team and i'm one of the "Players" (appropriate, i know). My job is to keep the guests entertained as some of you smart kids might have already figured out. I do poolside entertainment, such as kids for the games, pool volleyball games etc. Aside from working during the days only, I got to experience my first 2 evening entertainment nights! The infamous beach party and another event held in the waterpark. I was on the dance floor all night, so as you can imagine, I was extremely happy!

The people I work with are incredibly welcoming and so sweet. It really makes a big difference!

I also experienced my first proper night out a couple of days ago, and I have to say... I think once im back in europe at a club, im going to be disappointed! THATS how GOOD it was....!

Still have a lot of exploring to do, but I'm finally properly settling in so I'm sure that I have plenty of exploring ahead of me!
