so...florida. florida is always fun. but i was down there with my friends....so it was a ton better.

monday..we got up early to get to the high school to leave. and we spent the majority of the day on the bus. except for when we stopped in chicago for an hour and a half clinic. which wasn't bad because it was just nice to get out of the bus. then we got back on and drove the rest of the way down. jack took a sleeping pill that night...but he took it with mountain dew. so instead of making him sleepy...it made him hyper. so ya know...early in the morning...everyone is sleeping...i'm trying to sleep...and jack is wide awake and won't quit talking to me. he finally took another one...not with mountain dew. and got to sleep.

tuesday i slept for most of the day because i didn't sleep hardly at all that night. but we finally got to our hotel that night. and we ordered pizza and went swimming. and it was my mom and dad's 25th anniversary. happy anniversary to them.

wednesday we went to magic kingdom. we hit the big rides first because throughout the day...those were the busiest. one time..me, jack, katie, and brenna went on splash mountain and katie and brenna were in the first seat and me and jack were behind them. when we went down the big drop katie and brenna bent down so they wouldn't get wet...so...me and jack got soaked. and brenna wouldn't quit laughing at us. so jack starting splashing water at her...and she ended up getting wetter than we were. then we went to the space mountain gift shop so she could buy a new shirt because she was so wet. we watched the parade and fireworks..which were amazing as always. oh, and jazz band played. and they sounded really good too.

thursday we went to epcot. we had to play right away in the morning. then we got a little free time..and me, brenna, katie, drew, and stef went to this chinese place to eat. i didn't have enough money for food because i hadn't talked to my mom that day so i just got a strawberry shmooshie. haha. then we had to go to this instrumental workshop. and i was really disappointed. it sucked. and i got really bored. we watched illuminations that night. which was good too. and i met nick walker...this guy that my sister met when she lived down there. and he was amazed at how tall i was. that night at the pool made up for the day though...we played keep away for a while and it was boys vs. girls. and we basically got eaten alive. that got tiring after a while and i thought i was going to drown a couple times. then jack and lee decided it would be fun to see how high they could throw me into the air...which ended up actually being quite fun because they got me up there pretty high.

friday we went to kennedy space center for the morning. i talked to brenna for pretty much the whole morning. and in a way...it made my day really bad..because she told me a lot of stuff that i didn't know...and it was just miserable. jack had to spend that part of the day with mrs. peggar because he threw her into the pool the night before. haha. anyways. after kennedy space center..we went to cocoa beach and ron jon's surf shop. those were both fun. i love catching waves in the ocean. at night we went to downtown disney. we walked through all the clubs and it made me really excited for when i turn 18...or 21...whichever. and it took us pretty much the whole time just to decide where to eat. and we finally decided on this really good sandwich place. then we had to leave again. and it sucked. because it was awesome down there by the time the clubs had opened.

saturday was probably the funnest day. we went to animal kingdom and rode this new roller coaster called expedition everest. and it was awesome. me and jack went back on it after we got off it the first time. and then us, brenna, and lynn went to MGM Studios. we went back and forth between rock 'n' roller coaster and tower of terror the whole time except for when we went to eat at the pizza planet and when we went and watched the beauty and the beast show. brenna wouldn't go on tower of terror the first time, but the second time jack pretty much carried her on. we ended up going on it 5 times i think. after the whole week...people couldn't suck it up for a few more hours so we could stay and watch the night show...which pissed me off because i wanted to watch it and definitely didn't want to leave. and you paid that much money to be down there. my mom wanted to go on tower of terror one more time before we left so me, her, jack, brenna, and lynn all went on it one more time. and we ended up being like half an hour late to meet everyone. but who cares. so we started driving home. i...once again...couldn't sleep at all during the night. so i slept most of sunday. 

sunday night...like the last hour of the trip...was fun. everyone was really overtired and just wanted to be home i think after being on the bus for so long...and we were singing disney songs in the back of the bus. and people were getting pissed off. but no one cared. then we were finally home and as we were driving into the parking lot the bus driver honked the horn a couple times and everyone started yelling and clapping and stuff. and yeah, it was probably one of the funnest times i've had.

there were a few people though that were just bugging crap out of me.

and a few favorite sayings that we heard a lot from the trip:

-"yeah, you'll get that"
-"smack a ho"
-"fuck a bitch"
-"everywhere you go..it's TEXAS"
-"you may or may not be freaking out"
-"ooh, another piece of candy"
-"penguin-ama-penguin-ama-ama"

ooh wow. i miss it so much already.

so my last few days have been really nice for a change. and i love it.

friday night i went to lane's house. and it was really hot. so we went for a walk down his road. and that was nice. except for we got eaten alive by mosquitoes.

saturday i woke up and got my hair highlighted. then went to graduation. then lane came and picked me up. and we went to graduation parties. and to church. and then back to my house for a while.

sunday i went to minnesota to an outlet mall with lane and his family. and that was a fun day. get away from my family for a while. and spend some time with them.

monday. i went shopping again. and bought a lot. tank tops, shorts, sunglasses, a swimsuit,. some khakis. yeah, ^{it was a successful day.}

and today. was the first day of finals. bio. yuck. spanish wasn't bad at all. band we rehearsed for florida. and english i thought was pretty easy.

then..after school. to make a long story short. taylor left the lights on in her car so when we went to go to her house, her car wouldn't start. haha. in the end, my dad came and jumped it. but the whole thing was actually pretty funny.

we then went to the baseball game. which was actually a decent game. except for...they lost. 

i bought lane subway after that and we went to the park for a while. he sat and ate and then we went and walked for a bit and then layed in the grass and talked for a while. 

and i love my dad. 

3 things i'm really excited for-

FLORIDA! [19 DAYS]

school to be done [10 days]

softball to be over [hopefully only two more games left]

well..it's been a few days...so i thought i'd update this bitch.

school sucks. i've missed a lot of advanced algebra and that's to my disadvantage. it's almost over though. and i can't wait until the summer.

softball...is softball. it's not going the greatest. thank God it's a short season.

my sister's best friend is getting married this summer....to a guy she's been dating like..._{1 month} i think? and it's on the same day as leonhard's wedding was. hmm.

prom is this weekend. i'm excited for it...especially now since we have things figured out.

i'm going to eau claire to talk to the women's basketball coach. that will be interesting. i'm curious to see what she will have to say to me...

i just went to get my sister from her softball practice which was supposed to end at 7:30. well, ya know, 7:50 rolls around...and they finally get out. lucky me.

i'm gonna go finish watching Pearl Harbor. because that movie is amazing. and i'm going to miss it tomorrow.
