*cries* Tonight sucked … I felt like crap (my whole body hurts … literally) after yoga (wtf, why is it almost 2 hours and 3 days a week now?) so I had a little to eat (pizza and brownie thingy … didn’t feel like going to dinner), tried to sleep, but didn’t really … maybe for like 10 minutes. Then I dragged myself up, took a shower, started laundry, and did homework. Started on my English thing due Monday. Or Tuesday. I’ve started both, so yeah. Did my Spanish and read for English, which took me like an hour to read 5 pages ’cause all I wanted to do was sleep. Friends wasn’t on either, which was weird. So I went back up, had some more of the Butterscotch Chessmen I got from the PX earlier … and now I’m basically here. Listened to some 94.7 and Ultra Trance during all that too. And after I do my usual night net stuff, it’s bedtime. And tomorrow’s Friday, so that’ll give me *some* motivation. To do what, I dunno, but it’s there for something. Next week’s gonna be busy … actually the next two are. Greeeat. Have an anatomy test and lab due, semi, senior thesis stuff, riding and yoga (I want Ms. Moore back) … and who knows what else. Isn’t the Goodyear speaker coming soon? Forget her name. Oh well … anyway, think I’ve blabbed enough. Talk to everyone later. Comment if the mood strikes.

Pretty day!! Yay! Except yoga’s inside … grr. The one day I wish I had riding … but oh well. Man, I’m gonna be sick of pizza by the end of this week. Had it today for lunch (served lunch AND yearbook party), probably will again for dinner (leftovers from Erica), and then tomorrow for lunch (a getting-into-college celebration) as well. Blah. And the net’s being annoying. They changed all the usernames from our full name to just our first initial and last name. So that screwed something up, ’cause now the net works in some places and doesn’t in others. Which is kinda pissing me off. But if I need it tonight, I have roaming, so it’s all good. Anyway, I’m out for now … see ya.

Owwww … hurt. Why are my legs and back so sore? It’s not like I did anything super-exerting … just riding. Geez. And it hurts to move, especially sitting down. But oh well, I’ll live … and hopefully be better by next week?

Umm, tonight was okay. Did most of my probability/statistics hw, though there was still stuff she hadn’t taught us. Then I started yet another anatomy lab, and it’s driving me crazy (as usual). Yeah, it looks easy, but no. The book makes finding the answers impossible, and you have to read the same frickin’ section like 10 times before you even start to understand it. Grr. At least I have like a week to do it … maybe there won’t be a lot of other homework. But not likely :neutral:

Anyway, got not much else to do online, so after some random surfing I think I’ll go to bed … my sore muscles will thank me, lol. So adios.

Okay, heard from Mary Washington, and I’m wait-listed, but that’s okay ’cause it wasn’t a high choice. And blah, I so don’t wanna go to riding today … my stomach hurts a little, and I’m sore from yesterday … plus it’s hot outside (yay), but I don’t wanna get all sweaty, since after double anatomy I have a judicial and won’t be able to take a shower. And somewhere in there I gotta find Ms. Jones and ask about yoga. Blah! No time. I also gotta tell Amanda about XM. But oh well … don’t have much homework tonight (but who knows if I’ll get new anatomy labs), so maybe I’ll sleep during study hall. Anyway, almost time to go brave the “heat.” So adios.

Okay. Update time (happy Brian?). LOL. First I’ll do today. Had school ’cause spring break was over. Got up at 7:20 and realized that I did have Spanish today and hadn’t done my oral yet, so I got ready really fast and wrote a couple lines of that. Then I had philosophy (we talked about what makes war just) and a free, so I did the rest of my oral during that. Somehow I finished in time for riding, but everyone else in my lesson came late … or didn’t show at all. So I got an “extra workout” ’cause of that. Afterwards I had Spanish (which went fine … it was cool ’cause all we did was give presentations), lunch (had soup, a salad, and a cookie), discrete (easy and full of slackers as usual), and English (grr I have so much homework to do this week … but we got out early, so yay). Then I came back to the dorm and took a shower and did random stuff, and now I’m here. And that’s today so far. Onto NY …

First of all, my dad still doesn’t know about Brian coming (haven’t talked to my grandpa either), though after he sees my cell bill I’m not so sure, lol. And since March is over, I’m guessing he’ll be finding out soon. Crap. But anyway, Friday was cool. I’d be here forever typing every single detail so I’ll just give the highlights. Train ride was fine, walked the 10 blocks to the hotel (Penn Station to Millenium Broadway) in the drizzling rain, got settled in there, had appetizers at the hotel’s lounge (olives, bleu cheese, and crackers), finally met Shaune and Will outside around 9, went on an awesome carriage ride through Central Park, had dinner at this somewhat fancy Italian restaurant (courtesy the carriage driver guy … I had spaghetti with parmesean cheese and bacon, and tiramisu for dessert), then we all went back to the hotel and talked for awhile, and soon were starting to fall asleep so we called it a night.

Saturday morning, Brian and I slept in ’til about 1, had breakfast at the Red Flame diner (had a chicken wrap), took the metro to the Natural History Museum (even though once I saw it I remembered going there about a year ago with my grandpa), and we were gonna go to the Metropolitan Art Museum too, but instead went back to the hotel and slept … ’cause Shaune’s party was later … and man I was gonna need the rest :razz: For dinner we went to a little Mexican place across the street from the hotel called Viva Pancho or something (I got yummy chicken fajitas and sangria), went back to the hotel to get cards and figure out the metro to St. John’s, and then we were on our way. Metro-ing was fine, but when we got to Kew Gardens and called Shaune, she informed us (after like 20 minutes of waiting) that we’d have to take the bus there since everyone was already drunk. So after a little searching we found the bus, and in 10 minutes were at St. John’s. 10 minutes later, after calling Shaune like 20 times (by this time Brian’s really pissed), Shaune finally walks out to meet us. She leads us to her dorm, drunkingly apologizing for being so spacey (I so bet she meant it, lol), and soon we’re in the middle of her celebration. We meet a few random people (including Dan, Frank the Tank, and an Asian Claire), and then I start drinking ’cause I wanted to forget the past hour or so of Shaune and Brian’s different personalities clashing. Unfortunately, most of the good stuff is gone, so I have a shot of some green melon stuff, a couple shots of Goldschlager, half a glass of 151 and Coke, and half a glass of 99 Apples. After that I was definitely drunk, and everything was good for awhile. I was just talking to people and having fun … gave Shaune her birthday card, though I wonder if she even remembers where she put it, lol … then the party moved to Shaune’s room for the sake of not being caught … I think I laid down on some bed, and that’s all I remember except vaguely throwing up (and passing out?), people helping me with that, and somehow making it back to the hotel in one piece. Brian says we got back around 3, and to sleep around 4:30 after he made sure I wasn’t gonna die. I still don’t know why he keeps putting up with me, especially after the party … but it’s awesome that he does … I guess as long as I don’t really screw anything up anymore, we’ll be fine? :smile:

Sunday morning … I felt like crap lol, especially since we had to wake up at 9 to be at the circus (at Madison Square Garden) by 11. Brian had the first shower, and I tried to sleep during that, but couldn’t, so was kinda annoyed at that. But somehow I get up and get myself ready in like 20 minutes, and we take a cab to the Garden after checking out and putting our luggage away. I feel pretty sick, but luckily I don’t throw up again … I just kinda sit there feeling blahhhhhhhhhhh. But the circus was awesome. The horses were really pretty, I loved how all the animals could bow, the trapeze guys were good (Brian wants to be one of them), the motorcycles in the cage were cool, and they lit the human cannonball guy on fire at the end (my favorite part, lol). The orchestra was also good (according to Brian). Afterwards we have lunch at a pizza place (even though I was craving soup, my stomach was feeling slightly better, so it was all good), check out the 7-story Macy’s (in the frickin’ drizzling rain again) and Toys ‘R Us (white tiger for $45 anyone?) … and then have dinner at the Pig ‘N Whistle restaurant (I got chicken pot pie, the closest thing to chicken noodle soup, lol). After that we go back to the hotel, get our stuff, wait 10 minutes in the frickin’ cold for a cab with this girl also trying to catch a train, finally get to Penn Station, hang out there for awhile (where I finally get my soup fix) … and before we know it we’re on our way back to DC. The ride back was fine, I tried to sleep but couldn’t, so instead I listened to the new Linkin Park album again, made a code for Brian to crack (lol), called Shaune to tell her I was okay and my dad to work out meeting plans, read a little for English (which I somehow finished last night … all 120 pages … go me) … then I met my dad at Union Station.

Once home, I unpacked and worked on my fanlisting since I still wasn’t really tired, and got to sleep around 2. It was great, I slept like 11 hours straight (something I rarely do). But I needed that for my read-a-thon last night, lol, so it’s all good. Wow, that was a long blog — I think that brings everything up to date *nods* Anyway, adios ’til later people!
