Big Friday Night!

The title is 100% sarcasm. Just FYI.
This week was the longest week ever. So boring, slightly stressful, and no matter what I do execise-wise, the only part of me that ever gets sore is my calves, and they hurt so bad today I couldn't run more that 1 1/2 miles. Why is that? Why just my calves? Ugh.
So tonight, I'm spending my evening at home, watching Bride Wars because I rented it last weekend and forgot to take it back. I decided that since I have to pay for it again now, I might as well get my money's worth by watching it again. Also on the exciting agenda: painting my nails and trimming my bangs!! I know, I can barely contain myself, it's so amazing.
Now excuse my while I go search for grapefruit spoons so I can wash them and share a grapefruit with my little brother. You're getting more jealous by the minute, aren't you?

...Just to let you know, I actually love nights like tonight. I'm kind of a hermit sometimes, and I like to sit at home watching movies and doing nothing. I just like to make sarcastic comments about it also. :)

P.S. Employee orientation in the morning! Woot!

What a week.

Oy. I don't even know what to say. I kind of just want to crawl into bed and sleep for days. And possibly cry, but I don't think tears would come if I tried. I just feel like I'd feel better if I cried. Not that there's anything to really cry about. I just want to. I'm being really vague and rambling. Sorry.

I don't know if it's because spring break was last week and I have spring fever now or what, but this was the longest week ever. I'm so tired of school. I don't really mind it in general, it's just getting really old. I need something different.

But not this. I didn't ask for this. I never wanted you to start talking to me and I never wanted this. And I'm not used to having to deal with this. I'd rather go back to being invisible again, please.

The bright side is that I'm going to go out for breakfast and to see Alice in Wonderland with my favorite girls in the morning. Maybe pancakes and a movie will make me feel better. Too bad it won't make this all go away.

Stuff.

Today, I'm having one of my "Dang, I really want to just chop all my hair off and have a cute little short hair cut." Just FYI.

Also: to a person that shall not be named, not that it would matter if I named them because they wouldn't read this ever anyway:
I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU. HAVE YOU NOT GOTTEN THE POINT AFTER I HAVE REPEATEDLY IGNORED YOUR ATTEMPTS AT COMMUNICATION? Stop it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Okay? Comprendes? Capiche? No. I do not think you understand.

...Just wanted to get that off my chest.

Also: I've decided to start a style blog... eventually. Then I shall truly be a "girl with a blog." :)

Tool Time.

I love Home Improvement. It's so dumb and corny but I love it. Someone yelled at me last night telling me to post a new blog, so here it is. Nothing has happened since I got home. I went over and chilled with my favorite girls on Saturday night, and then on Sunday I went to church and went over to hang with my other favorite people. And today I went to school. Which was depressing, but I guess not too bad. Only eight more weeks til summer! woo! And today I also ran two miles and about died because it had been ten days since the last time I ran. WOW. My life is fascinating. I know.

Never kick a lucky penny.

I don't actually think that lucky pennies have any impact on things that happen, but still... you have to be careful.

This morning we woke up and it was still raining just as hard as it had been when we went to bed. I was definitely bummed out. We left the hotel to go get some breakfast and as we were walking down the hallway, I saw a penny laying heads up on the ground. Usually, if I see a penny on the ground I'll either [a] pick it up if it's heads up, or [b] flip it over if it's tails up, so that the next person who sees it will find it heads up. I don't know why I do this. Anyway, this one was heads up, which should've been lucky, but instead of picking it up, I kicked it down the hall. It kept raining and we went to IHOP and I had some awesome strawberry cheesecake pancakes, which kind of sound gross, but were really delicious. And it kept raining. We went back to the hotel to change clothes before heading to the ballpark just to see what was happening. My little brother found the same penny I had kicked, it was heads up, and he said, "Look a lucky penny!" So we went to the stadium, and since the game hadn't been cancelled yet, we hung around for a while. And... it kept raining. They actually did end up playing about three innings, with a rain delay before they started, another one after two innings, and then another one after the end of the third inning, and that's when they decided to just call it. I was happy we got to see them play a little bit, but I was really disappointed because the rain really ruined all the fun things about spring training. If it had been good weather, I would've gotten there as soon as the gates opened and camped out beside the outfield wall and gotten tons of autographs and pictures. Spring training is amazing for that. You can get so close to these major leaguers... you can't do that at regular season games at the big stadiums. So I'm still pretty bummed about the day, even though we got to see a tiny bit of baseball and I got some good pictures. So maybe my brother finding the lucky penny helped a little bit, but not much.

Oh, and I called the guy about that job... apparently it didn't matter that I waited two days to call.

Also: anytime you happen to be in Orlando, go to Flipper's Pizza. It's pretty delicious stuff.

So we're leaving in the morning. It's been a good week, and I'm pretty sad about leaving. I love being on vacation and I hate the thought of going back to school. But I love long car rides, and I miss people back home, so I guess I'll survive. :)

Rain, Rain, Go Away.

I'm watching Jeopardy right now, and Alex Trebek is such a dork. haha. Anyway.

It's raining right now, and I don't like it at all. Actually, I do like it, maybe a little tiny bit because it's like summer rain and I love summer rain, but... no. It's bad. GO AWAY! More on this later.

So, this week...
Wednesday- Epcot
Well. My madre wasn't feeling 100%, so we kind of took everything slow. Which was fine, because everybody was tired and we didn't want to be rushing around anyway. We still did pretty much everything, so it's not like we missed out on stuff by just chillin part of the day. The highlight of my day was getting an awesome hoodie from the Mexico marketplace in the World Showcase. I've seen people wearing these jackets for a few years now, and I've always wanted one but I couldn't find them, and if I did they were crazy expensive. Who would've thought the first time I found an affordable one I liked, it would be at Disney World?? Nothin's affordable there! But I was really excited about this. The other highlight of my day probably wouldn't matter to most people, but... my dad was wearing his t-shirt from Lagniappe (the church we stayed at on our mission trip in Mississippi) and we passed a family while we were walking and apparently they pointed at dad and said "He's wearing a Lagniappe shirt!" and my brothers were the only ones that heard it. If my mom or I had heard them say it we probably would've stopped them and had a little chat. But it was really cool that someone recognized the shirt. Talk about it's a small world after all.
BEST PART OF THE DAY THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DISNEY WORLD:I haven't been taking my cell phone into the parks with me because I'm not that attached to it and I didn't feel like keeping up with it. When we got back to the car after we left Epcot, I checked my phone and saw I had a voicemail from a number I didn't know. I listened to the voicemail and it was this wonderful person from the place I applied to work, telling me that they wanted to offer me a position with them and asking me to call back about employee orientations. This phone call made me beyond happy. I'm so excited about this job, you don't even know. I just need to call them back in the morning. I was going to take my phone with me and call today, but I forgot it. Oops. I feel really irresponsible now that they called me on Wednesday afternoon and now I won't be calling them back until Friday morning. Maybe they'll just overlook that.
Thursday- Animal Kingdom
It rained and rained and rained. Well, actually it drizzled first and then it rained. Then, after we left the park this afternoon, it POURED. I haven't seen that much rain since I don't know when. But it was a pretty good day over all. We rode Expedition Everest five times... it was fun, obviously. Plus, all the smart people were somewhere dry, not walking around Animal Kingdom in the rain today, so all the lines were super short and we didn't have to wait long to ride it. There's not really much to say about Animal Kingdom. It's basically a zoo where they sell some Disney stuff. Speaking of stuff... I got a really pretty necklace today. Neither of my big Disney World purchases are actually even Disney related. I kind of feel bad about that, but then I kind of don't care because I'd never wear a Disney shirt/hoodie/whatever. I'm rambling. So yes, that was today.

The Disney experience is officially over. Which makes me really sad, but the combination of tiredness and rain made it not-so-sad to leave the park this afternoon. But Disney World is such a happy place; I'm always so sad when we leave.Tomorrow we're supposed to go see my Braves play the Pirates at Spring Training, but if this rain doesn't let up by tomorrow morning there will be no baseball for us. Talk about sadness. I might have to cry. Sorry I wrote a novel. I just felt the need to ramble I guess. I'm going to go do a no-rain dance now.

Eep!

Yeah. I just eep'ed.
I GOT THE JOB!!!!

Observations from Disney, fashionably speaking.

You notice things when you sit and watch people.

• Asian girls have cool style. I'm not saying I'd wear all of it, but I definitely think they know how to dress. AND they know how to rock wide brimmed hats. And it makes me jealous.
• Asian girls also have some very obvious trends they're following. They like black tights/leggings, and they like wearing them with ruffly skirts, shorts or rompers. If I had counted how many times I saw this, it would be a high number. I'm just sayin.
• American girls just tend to dress like you know whats. Pretty trashy, not gonna lie.
• For some reason, there seem to be a lot of men wearing capris these days, and it is NOT a good thing. Oh my goodness, please, somebody stop it.
• I've had these sneaking suspicion for a while now that I need a cool over-the-shoulder purse/bag (a style which probably has an actual name that I either don't know or can't think of right now) but it's now official. I need one of those cool over-the-shoulder bags. My hair will get in the way of it, but I don't care. As soon as I find one that speaks to me, I'm getting it.

That's all for now, but seeing as I like people-watching, there will most likely be more.

I love this place.

Oh my goodness. Seriously, they aren't kidding when they say that stuff about happiest place on earth. I love it. I could write paragraphs, but I won't. Semi-quick recap:
Monday- Magic Kingdom
Right after they opened the gates and let us in, I heard somebody behind us saysomething like, "Look at all these neat things, Hannah!!" And I got kind of excited, then I realized it was a man talking to the small child in the stroller he was pushing. Yeah.
We rode Space Mountain twice, and the first time we rode, there were these three brothers in front of us in line. The riders get off of the ride before it comes back to where you get on the ride (if that makes sense), so when you're standing there in line, you don't see the people when they come back. Well, the youngest brother, who looked to be about 8, looked up at the older boys and said in a obviously fearful voice, "Nobody's coming back!!" because I guess he thought they were all dying or something. The look of horror on his face was awesome. That sounds bad that I thought his fear was awesome, but... it was. and they told him where the people went, so it was all good.
What else... we pretty much rode everything, and it was all fun. We rode all of my favorites twice, except for Peter Pan, because apparently it's everybody else's favorite also because the line was ridiculously long all day. We rode Pirates of the Caribbean the second time right as the park was about to close, and there wasn't anybody else on it, and it was slightly creepy but really fun at the same time.
Tuesday- Disney Studios
(or, the park formerly known as MGM)
There's this new ride thing... it's Toy Story and it's 3D and you ride through and play these animated carnival games and you score points and it's crazy fun. Ride it. I love Tower of Terror and I love Rockin' Rollercoaster. They're my two favorite rides ever. The End.
Tomorrow- On to Epcot

Hey Mickey.

Officially in Orlando. Getting ready for some SERIOUS Magic Kingdom action tomorrow. I can't decide what I'm most excited about: [a] Space Mountain, because I don't know why, I just like that ride. [b] the Teacups, because they're mad fun. [c] the Peter Pan ride, because you fly through the air in the little boats. or [d] Pirates of the Caribbean because it was closed last time we came and I'm obsessed. (Speaking of... I'm wearing Jack Sparrow socks right now. True story.) Actually, I think is could list every single thing in that place and say I didn't know which I loved most. Because I love it all. I LOVE DISNEY WORLD! Yeah. I have a very active inner child, okay? So.. that's today's update. I'm going to go and have really good intentions of unpacking some stuff and then going to sleep early so I won't be sleepy tomorrow. We'll see if that happens. So long from Florida. :) Te amo.

The glass is half empty today.

Blah. I hate packing. It stinks. I just wish I could take everything I have, because I never know what I'm going to need. Is it going to be warm? Cold? Rain? (oh, please, please no rain) Ugh. And I know I'll forget something. I always do. sigh.
And I applied for a job last Saturday, and I haven't heard back from them yet. I know I won't get it, only because I want it so bad. I WANT THIS JOB. I've never actually wanted a job. It makes me sad to think I won't get it.
Now I'm off to go run errands and then come home and pack. :( and hopefully I can hang out wiht my girls some tonight because I'm going to miss them terribly.
Enough negativity. I'm out.
PS. I never thought I'd say this, but the sundresses they have at WalMart right now are ridiculous cute. I think I'm actually going to have to buy some clothes from the Wally World! Who saw that coming?

[Insert clever title here]

1. SPRING BREAK. First half of the semester: officially over. Spanish presentation, journal, ridiculously long final exam, book review, everything done and turned in. (Alright, so I only did half of the journal entries. Sue me.) But Spanish 3 is done. Spanish 4, I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE. Hold me to that, okay?
2. I need to trim my bangs, but I'm scared to because I kind of scalped them last time.
3. You know what I have to do tomorrow? Completely pack for a week long trip to Florida. and I have no idea what to pack. None at all. I hate packing. BUT! I'm beyond excited about this trip. Four days in Disney World and a spring training Braves game... it's pretty much a perfect week. If only my favorite girls were coming with so I wouldn't have to miss them all week. THEN it would be perfect.

I should probably go sleep so I can actually function tomorrow to do everything I need to. So... adios. Te amo. Yeah, you. :)

One more thing...

I started my blog AND reached 200 friends on Facebook... ON THE SAME DAY. Is this an accomplishment?

My first post should be more epic than this.

But it won't be about anything epic. It will be me telling you about how right now I'm supposed to be working on a presentation for my Spanish class, but instead I made a blog. I mean, really... I don't want to write out note cards in Spanish for a 3 minute presentation on the Dominican Republic. This is much more interesting.
