I've earned my ears!

That's right, folks. I've officially completed my training, and I've earned my ears. That makes me a full fledged "Nemo Ranger." Yep, that's what those of us who work at The Seas are officially called. Fun, eh? I am now fully capable (I think) of being able to work at all of the positions in The Seas without the supervision of a trainer. I can even put on a show of Turtle Talk by myself. My first show was quite an interesting one: the audience was full of 150 middle schoolers. Talk about your fun atmosphere. I think being the hostess of Turtle Talk is my favorite position at The Seas, and I hope I get to do that fairly often.

I've been enjoying a couple of days off after my 40 hours of intensive Nemo training. My roommates and I went to the parks yesterday, which made for a pretty fun day. Today I am the only roommate off, so I've declared today a lazy day, aside from the necessary task of doing laundry. Tomorrow I start working for real, so it should be a pretty interesting day working without constant guidance and supervision of my trainer Jaime. Here's hoping it goes well.

Oh, and here is a picture of me in my costume. Don't laugh, because you'll probably want to given that it is not the most flattering of costumes. I'm pretty sure that the only people who look good in this costume are boys (sometimes) and the few Brazilian girls who work at the Seas. If you do, just don't tell me. I'm already fairly subconscious of the disappearance of my torso every time I put on this lovely costume. Thanks so much, Disney costuming. I appreciate it.
