I've never been so happy to see snow.
and usually i hate snow.
i got back today from Florida. the trip was amazing, and boring and tiring.
We left Saturday at about 10:30 am and arrived in Florida the next day around noon. the bus ride sucked ass. 38 kids and 4 teachers and 2 drivers crammed on on bus... is horrible. The seats by the toilet in the back were ours. it started to smell like pee about 12 hours into it. and mind you not once in this trip are the toilets to be emptied. so the bus was out home for the next week. i slept on the floor... it was horrible.
Sunday we went to Typhoon Lagoon where half the class got sunburns. i think 3 were bad enough to go to the hospital. only 1 however did. i got a little sun burn, nothing bad. the wave pool was awesome, you could body surf on them. Sunday night we got to the hotel rooms to find it located next to the Mexican ghetto or whatever. so we unpacked our stuff in this shack of a hotel and about 30min after being there 2 cop cars drive by about 75mph followed by the spotlight of a search helicopter. the teachers came around and told us there was a convict on the loose and to double check all of our locks. Woots.
Monday was Disney where we went to animal kingdom and MGM. We rode the Avalanche or yeti one, the safari and the "its thought to be a bug" bugs life rides at animal kingdom. At MGM we went on the tower of terror, the rockin' rollacoaster, the drew carry show, the muppets and something else possibly. Good day, tiring.
Tuesday was universal where we went to islands of adventure and rode the hulk and the dueling dragons. lings were ridiculously. and no fucking fast passes to help us skip them. by this day we were starting to get annoyed with each other and yell. Rachael and i walked around and shopped for about 2 hours. it was fun however we didn't find anything of value to buy. then that same night we went back to the hotel to get all dressed up for Cirque du Soleil. I wore a black dress about knee length and Marissa has her awesome green sun dress and Rachael wore a black poofy skirt and a white tank top and a purple over shirt. We looked hot hot hot. Cirque du Soleil was very nice, however somewhat boring and strange. we got yelled at by this lady that resembled Roz in Monsters Inc. only without the green skin, for taking a picture of ourselves before the show even started. it was stupid.
Wednesday we went to Busch Gardens where Doug, Rachael, Ricky and Justin and i walked around all day and rode rollocoastrs. Rachael and i walked around again to shop but again found nothing. We rode this amazing rollocoaster called the Sheikra that had a 90 degree drop after holding you at the plummet for 30 seconds. it was amazing. Rachael and i screamed the entire time. The same night we went to see the Blue Man Group at Universal. It was the best part of the trip. When we sat down they gave us these strands of white paper stuff so everyone started tying it around themselves. I made a head band. The music was amazing and they actually started walking over the seats using the back of the seats to get around. The one guy used the back of my seat. I was frightened he was going to pick me to go with them somewhere. They however choose the girl with the biggest boobs. Bleh. Then they started doing parodies of amazing songs. They did "like a virgin" by Madonna and "Crazy Train" by Ozzy and after they stopped playing one of the crew members screamed "Free Bird" and the band just broke out into "Free Bird" It was hysterical. At the end of the show they pulled these huge rolls of paper from the back wall own to the front and it was like one giant rave. It was the best show of my life.
Thursday we went to magic kingdom where Marissa and Rachael and i rode space mountain. I went to Disney about 7 years ago. When i went then with my parents we got stuck at the top because a guy in the bottom was having a heart attack so they shut down the ride. SO after a 7 year build up, it ended up be awesome but not as good as i had hoped. we went on the haunted mansion ride which wasn't scary at all but when things pop out of nowhere Rachael and i screamed. we rode big thunder mountain which was a long and funny ride. We were going to go on splash mountain but you get wet and we didn't much feel like being wet all day. It was sad cause for the past 3 weeks we were singing the annoying song that they sing in the beginning and never got to hear the real thing. Rachael and Doug and Ricky and Justin and i went back to Epcot where we spent a ton of money in japan and places. we went back to the hotel to pack everything cause we were leaving Friday after universal.
Friday Marissa and i went with Miss Baldwin and a bunch of other people to Universal park where we rode the Mummy and Twister and something else i don't remember. The Mummy was pretty cool. But the twister was retarded. I laughed at it the entire time. I got a henna tattoo on my hand and then Marissa and i went to the movies cause we were super tired and say Semi-Pro. DON'T GO SEE IT. its so fucking stupid. But it was nice to have a seat for over 2 hours. the bus ride home was horrible but it went by fast. I slept on the floor under Marissa's seat and eventually Eric slept by me for about 4o min which was extremely awkward since he was my cousin and way too close for comfort. I don't remember most of the ride. But i was super uncomfortable the entire time.
I got off the bus and gave my Dad and Mom big hugs. I missed them terribly. My mom and dad drove Marissa and i to grandmas house where she lives to drop her off and give grandma her present. We got her a cup with British parliament and big ben on it with a red double decker bus from the UK in Epcot. after i washed my face and changed i went to see mike for an hour or so. I got him chop sticks and a drink and a little good luck cat from Japan in Epcot.
I went home and did a ton of laundry and stuff... i missed my home and my family.
i got my mother a pin and my father a nice hat from Disney and i got my mom for her birthday a nice Christmas ornament. I bought myself a shirt from the rain forest cafe and a Japaneses purse and a hello kitty purse, and paper lights and good luck cat from Japan in Epcot. I bought a hunk of crystal and a necklace from Busch Gardens.
It was an amazing trip, i loved being in Florida with my friends. Its too bad that we were getting mad at each other sometimes cause f the lack of sleep and not feeling well. Justin was following me around all the time. It was getting to be very awkward and annoying. I tried talking about Mike a lot, however it didn't seem to work. Even Rachael, Doug and Marissa were getting freaked out at how he was acting. Very strange kid.
--------
today i went to town and put a few things in the new house since this upcoming Friday we will be entirely moved out. I;m sad and excited. I went and hung out with mike for about 5 hours. It was nice to be around him again. I missed him while i was away.
tonight my parents threw the last party in this house. It was for their birthdays combined. My grandma made this horrible tasting cake that she ended up putting chocolate pudding on for some reason. I didn't eat any. But our candles were matches that ended up burning out before we even sang entirely. I couldn't stop laughing. I will miss my house.
Me then Rachael then Marissa in front of Cinderella's Castle.
