DC, DC, DC, DC .... DC

ahem. 3 full days left in Coral Springs, FL.

Currently watching the Jets vs. Ravens on Monday Night Football. Ravens are killin' it so far. Jets' QBs gotta learn when to throw the ball, and when to take the sack. Throwing too many interceptions so far .. Doesn't really matter .. I'm a Giants fan! WOOP WOOP! tehe.

Been watching Little League baseball lately. Currently watching NY vs. Iowa. Cute kids .. but I always feel bad for the team that loses. I hate to see them so young and crying!!

Can't wait to see all my friends in DC. I MISS EVERYONE!!!!!

Yesterday the sky looked like a scene from Independence Day



WOOT. Georgetown in 4 days .. WHAT?!?! Muahaha.

These past couple of days have been splendid. Friday, I got my new cell phone! I'm loving it so far .. :). That night, I went to Coach Poynton's house (My HS softball coach) for hamburgers, and a catch up. It was a lot of fun!! I then went straight to Ricky's new apartment for his apt warming party, and met up with Dre and his friend, Dylan. It's an awesome apt .. Congrats, Ricky!! Then, Saturday my momma woke me up and took me to get a pedicure with her and my aunt (Caress). My toes look pretty now, tehe. Let's be honest .. I really don't remember what I did after that, lol. Today, I met up with my parents and Ricki and Peter for breakfast .. then tanned out by the pool. It was absolutely marvelous. Going back to DC with A TAN BABY!!! :). This year I won't be made fun of for living in FL and not getting a tan! haha.

Currently watching The Birdcage .. awesome awesome movie .. and I can sadly quote most of it, lol. ;). I'm outttttt .. <33

Christina went bye bye :(

I just dropped Christina off at the airport .. I'm sad :(. The good part is that we had such a great week!

Christina got here at 2pm last Saturday, and we headed back to my house, where my parents had a lil birthday get-together for me. We had friends and family there - including Christina, Melissa, and Stephie (with baby Maddy). It was super super fun and we all got to catch up and hang out. That night, Christina treated CJ to Taco Bell, around 11:30, then we all just hung out and watched TV. Then, Sunday was my mom's birthday, so we all took her to Bahia Cabana restaurant on Ft. Lauderdale beach, and had lunch and some awesome Daquiri's as well. :).

Then on Monday, Christina, CJ, and I went on an airboat ride (I have the crazy sun burn lines to prove it), and it was so amazing. It was a 55 minute long ride, and we even got to see some alligators and stuff! So beautiful!! Then later that night, Melissa came over and we went to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and Melissa banked, while Christina and I did not have a good gambling night lol. But I think Melissa had slot A.D.D, cuz she kept jumping from machine to machine. It was cute though, lol. She ended up with about $50, which was pretty cool. After that, we all crashed at my place, and got up super early (6:15am), and left for Busch Gardens (Me, Melissa, Christina, CJ, and Jordan). I drove us up, and we got to Kris and Corey's apartment by 11am. We went straight to Mel's for hot dogs (YUM), then into the park. We had so so much fun, and it was awesome to see Kris and Corey, of course!

Wednesday, I had an 8am doctor's appt, then Christina and I watched over my dad's store for a little while until I had an eye doctor appt at 4pm (I can see! woot!). Thennnn, my mom made us Filet Mignon (YUM), and we all went to see Julie & Julia after (minus CJ). I thought the movie was cute, but it didn't really have much of her show, only leading up to it. But I really enjoyed it. Today, Christina and I got burritos for lunch, and Baskin Robbins ice cream before I brought her to the airport. :'-(

Overall, I had a blast this week, and now I have to start getting ready to leave for GEORGETOWNNNN. WHAT!!??!?! ;) .. Until next time ...

Disney


Epcot was tons of .. just a very long day!! We got up at 5:30am and were on the road by 6:30. We stopped around 7:30 for some Cracker Barrel breakfast (family traveling tradition) .. and got to Epcot at 10am on the dot. Pretty short ride, which was nice!

We met up with family friends, Art and Karen + their 4 little boys (SO CUTE) .. Kyle - 13 yrs old, Brett- 11 yrs old, Justin- 9 yrs old, and Dean- 6 yrs old. Dean was messing with me all day .. it was adorable. He'd poke me, then run. I'd tickle him, then run. So fun!

Anyway .. we got on all the fun rides and it only rained for about 10-15 mins. We stayed till about 7pm, then headed back to their hotel and hung out by the pool until 10pm, when we left for home! We got home right around midnight and I passed out around 1:30am. It's 1pm now, and I'm actually leaving in 5-10 mins to pick up Christina from the airport!! YAYY! The rain actually held out for her, so thats nice :).

We're having people over later tonight, as a late 21st birthday thing for me / it's my mom's birthday tomorrow! I can't wait! Melissa is coming too! WOOT!!

Bleh.

No softball in the 2016 Olympics? That's slightly like ripping my heart out, putting it in a blender, and hitting grind. I really thought we were gonna get it.

Dearest IOC,

You Suck.

Back Home

So I'm officially back in Springs .. have been for about 3 days now. I got back on Friday evening, around 6pm and wasn't home for very long until my family and Ricki, Peter, and Jordan went to Anthony's pizza for dinner. Love that pizza :)

Then Friday night I went to Nick's house to see his family and meet his puppy (Mogley the pitbull) ... sooo cute! Then we were headed over to a party at this girl, Paige's house, when we got a call and needed to pick up something. Then, my friend, Ricky, called Nick and needed a ride so Nick and I went to pick him up. On the way there .. I was about to make a left turn (my light was green) and Nick goes "whoa whoa, stop" .. and we see this girl in a red BMW drive in front of me (running her red light) and drive over the median, and swerve back into her lane. Then she went 25 mph (down a 45 mph street) for a couple miles. Nick called 911 and reported her .. but it was pretty scary. I eventually turned off the road just to avoid her. I've never seen that in my life, but I'm sure glad that we were able to avoid it.

Anyway, I got back pretty late that night (3:30), after CJ wanted me to get him McDonalds, lol. Yeah, he was still awake. Then I got up the next morning and headed to the gym. I was feeling pretty good and it was nice to be working out at LA Fitness again, just because I'm so used to all the machines and stuff. Then my dad bought me a massage, which was really nice. I'd never had one before so it was definitely an experience! That night me, my mom, my friend Danielle, and her mom, Suzette, went to the Blue Martini to hang out. They ended up having a live band and we were all dancing and singing for a couple hours until we went to another place and danced there too! It was such a blast, and I'm still sleeping off the last two nights since I went to sleep so late, lol.

Then Sunday I went to Stein Mart with my dad and CJ, then lunch. After, I just kinda hung out and called it an early night. Now I'm watching Full House, but about to run some errands and head to the gym. Been an eventful couple of days and only going to get BUSIER! Friday my family and I are heading to Epcot! Yayy DISNEY!! :) We are meeting up with my mom's friend's family and her 4 little boys. We're only going to be there for the day and then Saturday Christina comes for 5 days :). Woot!! Should be an awesome last couple weeks before I head back to DC!!! SOOO SOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!

Coral Springs

Headed back to Springs in the morning, and getting mixed feelings. I want to see my family and friends back home, but I've definitely enjoyed my time with Kris and Core. I've always said that you never truly know a person until you've lived with them .. and now I can say that I truly know them both. They are the same people I knew before I moved in, which means that they are true friends, and two of my closest (now even closer).

I'm currently talking with my brother, CJ, through texts (yeah his 15 year old self is still awake at this hour) .. and he's bugging me because he wants to know if I know anything about him getting a car when he turns 16 in December. I obviously have that classified information, but my mom told me not to say anything. I'm sure it will come out that they are going to get him a car, that isn't my mom's Lexus .. but it's fun keeping it from him. The fact of the matter is, I can keep a secret from him through texts, but once I see him tomorrow .. I'm totally gonna be spilling the beans. Why does he have to be so awesome? We tell each other everything though .. and I love the kid to death. I'm so glad that we are close .. I miss him so much right now. He's my favorite person in the world.

3am

.."It's 3am I must be lonely .."

Great song .. but currently TRUE for me! Why am I up at 3am? I'm not 100% sure. Maybe I'm setting myself up for school mode, again. My usual sleep time is anywhere between 1-3am on a typical school night .. which is going to be even better this year since I have classes that start at 10:15 and NO 8:50s!! Woot!! Plus no Friday classes .. :) Mucho excited for that.

Anyway .. I still have my final exam on Thursday .. technically tomorrow .. so I'll be studying most of my Wednesday away. I also have to pack my things up because Dan is moving in here soon, since my mom will be picking me up on Friday. I'm not too worried about the exam, because even if I get a 50%, I'll still end up with a B- in the class. I'm obviously shooting for the A, which is what I have now (88% and 94% on my two papers and 3 A's on my quizzes! CHYEAHH) .. Too bad it won't count towards my GPA .. only the credits transfer. LAME. haha.

I'm really excited to get back to DC soon. I really miss it so much. 3 1/2 months is just way too long to be away from your home .. your family. My girls are my family and it sucks being away from them for so long. Some of my closest friends live the farthest away, and it SUCKS. Can't wait to see everyone again, and just go back to normal. I'm so out of my element here in Florida. Don't get me wrong .. Florida is amazing (Mackensey .. :-P) .. but DC has been my home for the past 3 years, and it just feels like I'm on this long extended vacation. Bleh. Enough of me being soft!!

Shark Week

Started last night .. some pretty interesting stuff. Makes me never want to get in the water again .. but of course I will.

Great White Sharks are probably the scariest things I've ever seen in my life. Legit.

I just remembered why I'm not much of a beach girl ;)

Adios.
Oh .. Check out these songs .. "Freeze" by T-Pain and "Down" by Jay Sean .. Both great (party) jams.

Liar, Liar

Officially done with my paper .. and turned it in. My TA gave my entire class an extension on the paper until tonight at midnight. I had such bad writer's block until this morning, actually. I sent my TA some choppy notes and stuff last night, and she was nice enough to send me back some notes this morning. I finally sat down, no music or anything, and just let it fly. It felt pretty good :). We'll see what she thinks about it ..

So we haven't done too much in the past couple days. Thursday Corey and I had class from 12:30-4 .. my class watched No Country For Old Men and it was easily the most disgusting movie I've ever seen. The plot got better as the movie went on, but the amount of blood that I saw would have driven anyone crazy. Right after class we went to Jersey Mike's for subs .. I got a Buffalo Chicken sub .. it was very good. I've been trying so many new places that I've never even heard of .. don't know if more food is a good thing or not ;). Anyway, Friday night, Dan came by for a little while and we all just chilled and watched Liar Liar. Easily one of my top favorite movies! Jim Carrey is amazing.

Then today, after I finished up my paper, Dan came back over to chill .. and then his gf, Sara, came by and we were all chillin and watching Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Both very good movies. Blues Clues and the Berenstein Bears was on too .. I can't believe I used to watch that damn blue dog when I was younger .. AND I practically grew up on the Berenstein Bears books. Ridiculous. So now we are watching some old school hockey and relaxing. Just had Blizzards from DQ .. Vanilla ice cream + M&Ms. Man, I feel a little guilty after it, but it was so damn good. Oh well.

I'll leave you with some Dave Matthews ..

"You’re like my best friend..
aw after a good, good drunk..
You and me wake up and make love after a deep sleep"

Man, I'd love a best friend to wake up next to in the morning ... #7
