Favorite Photos From My 20th

Hi Mom!

Most of the photos are on Facebook so I decided to just post my favorites from today. But before the photos I just want to thank my bestie Emily for flying down and humoring me by following me around Magic Kingdom all day (eight hours). Tackling Disney World with one of the Mask Clan is not an easy task. 

We took the whole day pretty slow, doing things that we felt like and not hurrying about, which was definitely different for me when it comes to Disney. But it was enjoyable and I didn't revel in the things we missed which included: having waited a half hour in line for Big Thunder Mountain for the ride to stop working right when we got near the front, and Pirates of the Caribbean was down for repairs till the end of September (which is what we went straight to when we got ushered off of Big Thunder). I didn't really let it get to me because guess what? I'll be back to Disney before Christmas! And next time I'll get to share it with my family and my wonderful Jason. 

I'm becoming pretty accustomed to the heat and humidity. It didn't bother me nearly as much as it did Emily, because by the time we were waiting for the 3:00 Festival of Fantasy parade I thought I was going to lose her. But luckily, some clouds moved in and by the time the parade was halfway done she had a smile on her face again, and not that "i'll-kill-you-if-you-touch-me" look.  In a perfect world we would have made it till 10pm to see Wishes but we left around 5 because both of us were beyond exhausted.

I only bought three things: the Splash Mountain photos, a Nightmare Before Christmas tshirt that has Jack and Sally and says, "we're simply meant to be", and a mug for Jason that I'd almost bought yesterday when we were at Downtown Disney but refrained. I'd decided today that he needed it. So I only spent about $60 (not counting my park ticket which WAS cheaper thanks to Bill and Julie's birthday present: Disney gift card). I feel like a responsible adult! Which I mean I sort of am now that I'm officially past my teenage years. 

Both Emily and I took showers when we got back to the McCray Pad and ordered a yummy white sauce and chicken pizza. I'm currently forcing Emily to watch one of my favorite movies: 'Hector and the Search for Happiness', which honestly just makes me miss my Jason that much more because it one of our favorite movies to watch together. I will drown my sorrows in cookie cake. 

All in all, not too shabby of a birthday. :D Definitely don't want to go back to school and have Emily go away again.

Ensue the pictures
















Happy Birthday to me.

Volunteer Orientation at HSSC

Image
Hi Mom. I may have mentioned last month - to you and Jason mostly - that I sent in an application to volunteer at the Humane Society of Sarasota County. It had been something I'd been thinking about doing since coming to Ringling, mainly because of the lack of animal socialization I receive living in a dorm on a college campus. When I started baby-talking to the local squirrels before winter break, I knew something needed to change. Then, Katy passed away. It's easy to not think about it, especially when I'm so far away and in a place I would never associate Katy with. Katy wasn't a part of my Ringling experience. She was the thing I got to see when I flew home for holidays/breaks. She wasn't here she was there...now she's...not. But now that she's gone I'd do anything to make it so she was. So, during my first week back from Winter Break, in the middle of a very dark, lonely, let's-think-of-every-awful-thing-that's-ever-happened kind of ni...

Putting Off Homework

Hi Mom. I'm really not putting off homework, considering I have all weekend to do it - and I WILL start tonight, but I would rather be writing this post than doing it so...here I am. Today started 'early' (7:15) today with Figure Drawing which was a work out. The entire class we did sets of 10 two minute poses, a bunch of three minute poses and then what seemed like forever of 30 second poses. I was exhausted after, but I loved it. Spent lunch in the cafe in the Academic Center, and then read my book until my first Storytelling class, which I think will be kind of awesome. There will be lots of writing involved, but it's the best kind of writing: creative/fiction. The fact that I will not be writing about grammar and research essays, like I would have had I not dropped Writer's Studio, makes me very happy. My teacher is an interesting character for sure. He's relatively normal, as art teachers go, and he makes lots and lots of movie references, it's re...

Charlie

Hi Mom (and everyone else), Welp...it's been a year. A little more than a year actually. And what a year it was. So many things happened, some great things...and some heartbreaking. But I'm back. We'll see if it sticks,  I hear my pessimistic voice say. But one blog post won't kill me, if anything it's a welcome distraction (I am currently sitting at my post at my school's Fitness Center, swiping cards. One can only watch so many episodes of America's Next Top Model in a row before looking for another distraction). I may eventually delve into the life altering events that occurred during these past fifteen months that I've refused to blog, but for now, let me gush about the newest addition to my life: Charlie. This is Charlie, if you hadn't already guess ^  (featuring a blurry Bill in the background) Jason and I adopted Charlie on April 28th, my last week of sophomore year at Ringling. Here is how he came to be...more or less.  ...
