Right now all I can say is wow. I am such a blessed lady! We arrived to our hotel and it is in such a wonderful location. We have shops and fun restaurants right downstairs. The hotel is filled with lots of areas to study and enjoy the Florida weather.
My roommate Texie and I have been studying, laughing and getting to know each other. Im so glad that she is a fun, easy-going, and hilarious girl. Everything so far has been so nice. We have access to a vip lounge upstairs that feeds us breakfast and dinner time snacks everyday, so we really only have to fend for ourselves with lunch, and I've heard through the grapevine that we are the first class to have any meals provided for us at all, which I am so thankful for. Meeting all of the other trainees and being able to study together and bounce ideas and study techniques off of one another has been so great. I have learned so much so quickly being around all of these awesome people.
I am ready to get started, tomorrow is the first day of class and I'll be excited to finally talk to our instructors and know some concrete information. It's like HS all over again around here, and the rumor mill is cranking out new ideas every minute. We all say "I heard this" and "so and so said that" every 2 minutes. The scariest rumor we've heard is that both classes will be night classes, meaning we will work from 4-1am or 5-2am! Now that for this early morning barista whose bedtime is 8:30ish?? SCARY. But Texie and I have resolved to do whatever it takes to get through this. We are doing this, no matter what. We both are so excited for this opportunity and refuse to let a little thing like sleep deprivation get in our way. Tomorrow we'll know.
Here's a photo from the first day we were here before we ate at Rocco's Tacos!
