Things are looking up!
It might be the effect of the chocolate I have been eating all day, but I am soo happy right now!
We'll see how things look tonight when I have to do all my homework...hehe.
I love this life I have been given!

Okay. Man. Okay. Like, woah. Really. Woah.
This weekend was one big adventure!! I'll give you the shortened version.
It began on the way to Disney when Jacqui's tire decided to have a nail in it. We sat around for a half hour to get it fixed, and then we were on our way! The ride there was chock-full of fun. Mickey's party was fun, we all dressed up in our costumes (of course, my ninja costume was the awesomeist of all the awesomes). We made it onto 7 rides in 2 and a half hours, which, as you who have ever been to disney know, is pretty dang amazing.
The next adventure was when we were driving to britney's sister's house, and the flute van almost ran out of fuel. After a lot of stress, we found a fuel station (haha). And THEN when we got to the house, there were a lot of people drinking, which I was not expecting, and there was a pet bear (aka st. bernard) which none of us were expecting. Since one of the girls has a severe allergy to bears.....er, dogs, we drove down the highway to MY house, where it turned out there were two boys sleeping already (long story). Anyway, none of us got to sleep in a bed that night, and we all fell asleep around 4:30 at night, either on the floor or on couches.
SO that next day we decided to take it easy. We went to downtown disney, watched the nightmare before christmas in 3D, shopped a whole bunch, took pictures, and ate at the rainforest cafe and the ghiradelli (sp?) chocolate ice cream shop. I spent $60 worth of CDs in the virgin record megastore. That place is nothing short of amazing. They have a WHOLE WALL lined with celtic cds. I'm not kidding. I got some stuff I couldn't have found just anywhere: a natalie mcmaster cd (which is celtic to the MAX, just like I expected), a solas cd, and a celtic putumayo cd. AWESOME.
That night, we took a trek down to cocoa beach. We toured ron jons and then walked to the beach, which, in my opinion, was the most amazing part of the trip. We put our heads together and gazed at the stars, made a human pyramid, played 3-second games of tag every couple minutes, pretended to fight (or did we pretend? ::cue dramatic music::), danced to no music, and took A LOT of pictures. The sound of the ocean and the bright stars in the night sky just made everything perfect. Like Jacqui said, I could have stayed there all night. The day beach is pretty dang sweet, but the night beach is just...magical.
After that, we came back to my house again and floundered around trying to get everyone settled in places to sleep. With the help of the extra hour (thank you, extra hour!), we all got a good night's sleep. This morning, we got up and ate breakfast and headed out. The trip back to Tallahassee was pretty uneventful besides the fact that Tchaikovsky writes very large coda sections.
My parents were great throughout the weekend. On Friday night, I called them at 2:30 in the morning because we had a problem with the bear, and they just opened the house right up to all my friends. They made breakfast for 7 girls two days in a row, and they never complained that we were loud at night or that our stuff was everywhere.
I'm actually really glad we got to stay at my home. I got to show everyone my house, the famous city of Titusville that I'm always talking about, the beach that I grew up in. And I got to see ERIN!!! Basically, I got to share my home with people that I love, and it was a happy. Oh yeah, and I knew my way around, and that made me feel important. :)
Anyway, I just got home, and now I have many long hours of homework and practicing ahead of me, so I better hop to it. Thank you Jacqui, Jessica, Lauren, Bridget, Ashley, and Britney for making my weekend so completely awesome!!

This weekend I'm going to party with Mickey Mouse and the fluties in Orlando.
Also, FREE CANDY!!! WOOO!!!!! Get ready for hyper ninja Ashley!
Yaaay!
No practicing, no homework, and no obligations! (That is, until I get back on Sunday.)
If FSU will not give us a fall break, we'll just have to make one ourselves.
And a one, and a two, and a one two three!
okay, paper time.

So in meterology, we have 5 tests plus the final exam (that's 6 tests!!) My teacher counts the best 4 out of 5 plus the final exam into your grade. So far, we have taken 4 out of the 5 tests, and these are my grades in order:
28/30=93%
26/30=87%
25/30=83%
23/30=77%
Do you notice any kind of trend?? My grades are getting lower! I've studied the same amount for every single test (which is about 3 hours the night before).
The material is getting harder, no doubt--there are low and high pressures flying around everywhere, vapor pressure and saturation vapor pressure, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I don't care, this doesn't have anything to do with my major. WHY DOES FSU MAKE ME TAKE SCIENCE. I hate science. I thought I took enough of it in high school.
/rant
To anyone out there, don't take meterology as a science. It may not sound boring (and hard) but it is. Instead, take nutrition! Now there's a practical science right there.

One more thing, this is just too funny to not write about. I'm studying for stupidmeterology right now, and there is a chapter in my book about wind. Within the chapter, there is a section about measuring wind, and the tools that people use to determine wind speed and direction, and the heading it is given is
WIND INSTRUMENTS
Hahahahaha!!!!
WIND INSTRUMENTS
Hahahahaha!!!!

I drank 4 bottles of water today.
NOOOO. I don't wanna study meterology. ANYTHING BUT THAT.
I was really good at studying in high school. I think I forgot how to do it.
--------------------------------
Ya know, for the first time since I've had this blog, I'm having thoughts about discontinuing its use (don't worry, it's still a long way from happening). I really never have anything useful or interesting to say anymore. Or, at least, I never have anything useful or interesting to say that I am willing to share. I don't need it for an emotional outlet like I once did (like I ever used blogger to express emotions--psh). I've found that college presents very few difficult and/or awkward moments. Or rather, these moments are easier to avoid. Things are different now--I am different now--my thoughts are are more inside, more personal, more stable. I no longer need to share everything that I feel and think about.
This doesn't mean that I'll stop writing or even that I'll write less. I still like blogger, I like to write, and I know that a lot of my friends (that's you!) like reading. Plus there's the whole connection factor. It's a way to keep in touch...er...sort of.
I guess all I'm saying is that I'm sorry about what my blog has turned into. I didn't mean for it to be this way, but I'm not one to fight the natural forces of nature, and this is where the natural forces of nature have lead me. (led me?)
Life is good.
I don't think I've ever said this before, so I'll say it now: thanks for reading.
