One week down, many more to come!

WOW what a great first week it's been! I have settled in to my new place, new routines, and new life. And got some sun :) First day of work I got my Disney name tag, representing Eugene, Oregon.

 

I am one of the lucky few interns who has my own 'cube' at work. When I arrived they had already decorated it with Duck stuff and my favorite Disney character Jasmine (this quiz told me I was most like her)

My office is not in the actual complex itself but in the 'Clubhouse' which is only about 5 minutes away. I will be at the complex often when we have Disney Created Sports events. Most of the events are Baseball but we also will do a big 'Spring Training' event where there will be a lot of Field Hockey, Softball, Lacrosse, Track & Field etc teams. They are looking for ways to increase their Tennis business so I'm hoping to be able to help with that.

Braves spring training facility. Exact replica of Turner Field, including the direction it faces, only less seating.

Best night of the week!

 This week has been a lot of learning about my new position and office stuff. We get free crystal light and coffee (including a fancy coffee dispenser) and tea at work. Keeping me caffeinated! And of course always a good excuse to get up from my desk, go take a walk around the office, and see who I bump in to. It's so nice that everyone wears name tags because I am terrible with names and faces. I have already created a whole list of people that I would like to do 'Meet and Greets' with to learn more about their role with Disney Sports. I am going to ask my Mentor/Boss tomorrow to help me arrange some of those meetings.

All in all I am so happy here right now! The sunshine is filling me with life, work is going to be great (not too stressful), and I will have the opportunity to network by volunteering to help out with all the events that go on at the complex. I am so excited and confident that I made the right choice coming here.
