...and it's gone in a FLASH!

Wow, it's been too long since I've updated :O And dudes, a TON has happened, but don't worry, I'll keep it as short as I can ;)
Well, Spring Break was last week, ahhhhhhh was it splendid. As cliche as it is to go to Florida for Spring Break, I totally did anyway :P I flew down with my mother to meet up with my two sis' down there. We were there for only 4 whole days, but it was totally worth it! It was great to meet up with all the girls again, and, oh my gawd, Universal Studios has the new Hogwarts Caste added on, and dudes, it's seriously legit! I mean, people wait in line for two hours to just get a tour of the place! Yeah, crazy :P Luckily we got there early enough that the wait was only 45min woot woot! There also is a ride inside the castle and ah! it seriously is indescribable! you legitly feel like you're on a broom stick with Harry battling dragons, Dementors, the whole kit and caboodle! It's awesome! I am proud to say I  had a cup of Butter Beer (it's not really beer, just a made up concoction of awesomeness! no alcohol included) and Pumpkin Juice and gaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! they're freaken delicious! seriously, get some! it'll blow your mind ;) hehe
I also made a visit to the comic book store that's also in Universal Studios. Bought a few things.... hehe okay maybe more than a few but it totally was worth every penny, because who do I see riding by???? CAPTAIN AMERICA ON A ATV!!! Yep, my heart melted :P So the dya at Universal Studios was a success, and mind you I left a TON of other crazy, amazing things out, but those were the biggies :)
I also successfully scorched myself at the beach, so yep, I'm all tanned up (with my back peeling away, ouch, maybe too much sun...)
And guess who paid for all of this??? ME! Yep. My dad paid for the tickets, but I reimbursed him by paying for all of our, that means my, my mother's, and my two sisters expenses down there all because of air force rotc :) what better way to use that money than to spend all on family and fun without anyone having to worry about expenses, I got it all covered ;) and it was the least I could do.

Well now, as I said in a title, it was gone in a flash, and it's quite depressing to think that just last week I was wearing a tank top, shorts, and flip flops and now I'm all huddled up in a coat, hat, and mittens :( But I guess on the bright side, it's Advising week, so that means more doors to open and more adventures to embark on! There's a class on Serial Killers and I'm totally jumping on that and signing up for it!!! I can't wait :DDD Next semester looks like it's gonna be a fun one!

A couple other things that have gotten me at least comfortable with coming back are these numerous programs Trine is hosting. Like, on Wednesday - 16th - there's a Suicide Prevention Certification Seminar at 6pm in Best 229 and I'm totally signing up to go to that! What better thing to have under your belt that the means to know how to approach that sorta problem with someone. I'm looking forward to it and there's no charge! Everyone loves free stuff ;) Also, there's a CPR Certification Seminar going on this Saturday - 19th - in the Ford Building at 10am. Yeah, I know it's considered "early" on a Saturday, but having a CPR certification is great for your resume and for you because you just never know if someone will just inhale that huge chunk of steak and gets it lodge in their wind pipe, then you'll be able to sweep in with your cape and CPR certification and preform the proper procedures ta-dah!

Ah, alrighty. well my peeps are waiting for me to eat lunch so I better head out dudes. Please, if you can go to either of those Seminars GO! What do you gotta lose? A couple hours of sleep or sitting on the couch watching America's Next Top Model reruns??? Well, if you can't go to either, then I'd recommend for EVERYONE no matter what to go to this: Take Back the Night. Men and women, join all of us in the march to fight rape and to stand up for all the victims out there! Let them know that their voice is heard :) Be a hero
Peace Out
