Evangeline's

So my life was consumed by my Finance Fundamentals project. We were given the pro-forma and year 1 actual results of a restaurant. We had to come up with a theme and then also changes that would be made to make the restaurant perform better in year 2 - to essentially get it back on the path.

Our team, titled the Goof Troop, created Evangeline's located at Port Orleans French Quarter. It was based on Princess and the Frog - a nice romantic, elegant restaurant. We made some adjustments and had a pretty solid case. We presented on Wednesday to a group full of managers, executives and fellow interns. I thought we did really well - all the groups did. I'm really proud of all of us!

Now that it is over, my schedule is freeing up a bit, though we started our Department Overviews which is a series of presentations from different finance departments so we have a good idea of different areas when we want to do meet and greets and start applying.

I'm still working on promotional analysis in addition to other odds and ends. Liz and Megan came into town last weekend - Disney in 2 days. WOO! I think I finally recovered hahaha Just in time too - Victor comes in this weekend. It's a busy busy month!!

FAIL ON UPDATING

Yeah, I know. It's been a month. Life has been a bit busy. Let's see where I left off.

I did go home, and saw family and some friends so that was really nice. Exhausting but nice. It's hard to travel home when you work M-F.

Work has gone by so fast! I've been working on my Finance Fundamentals project (information will be disclosed after the presentation haha) and the analysis of the QSR promotion. It's been a fantastic learning experience. My leaders and peers have kind of let me run with it. I'm getting great experience with the data pulling tools that we have. I went to training classes before on it, but I learn best by experiencing it.

This week I got to go to an All Hands meeting and hear about this past quarters results some more and then listen to presentations on the new cruise ship (Dream) and the new fall line up/movie released. Let me just say, CANNOT wait to go on a cruise haha

Also this week was a team afternoon. The fiscal year is winding down so everyone is celebrating a job well done. We went around Epcot on a picture scavenger hunt, it was a nice team builder, so much fun!

My life this week has been a bit busy. I've been in and out of the building for various meetings, I think I had a total of maybe 8 hours working time. Oye! Its' stressful but kinda cool haha

Outside of work, as mentioned I went home. Summer and I had a tourist day, we needed a little Disney magic in our life. I got a big group together to go to Mama Melrose's and that was just awesome. How I managed to get 9 people together, I will never know. Last night we went to Disney on Ice. I love how I have found people who are driven and intelligent, but still have that passion for things like Disney on Ice. It's nice =)

I need to start working on my resume and apply for some other internships. I can start applying for full time positions in November, dun dun dun!
