London Calling
So I'm finally headed off to London tomorrow. After 10+ years of begging and dying to go, I'm finally going. It's surreal and hasn't hit me yet.
Last night my mom and I took B to give him to his pseudo-mommy for the next month. He seemed to do well and she was very nice which really put me at ease.
I went to the bank and deposited some shopping money- cha ching! I'll help London's economy, fo sho. :P

P-P-P-Packin

So I've got most everything packed.. And currently my suitcase is .5 lb under the limit. But thankfully I still have an empty carry on that is willing to welcome some spare articles of clothing, all while leaving room for new articles to accompany me home.
I can't believe it's almost here. I fly out on Friday!! eeeek!! Tomorrow my family and I are meeting my daddy half-way to have lunch with him and spend some time with him before I jet off, which will be really nice.
It's all still surreal that I'm leaving in a matter of days!!!

Disney Divas
So Ansley and I went to Disney this weekend and did our first 5K. And if you know me, I'm not a runner. I have exercise induced asthma, and can hardly run around the block with out it making my chest feel like I'm dying.
ANYWAYS,
We went down and the day of we walked around Downtown Disney since our hotel was a swift walk from there. On the way, we saw an otter in a lake in front of one of the hotels. It wasn't there on our way back, so hopefully it got rescued! We got Cinco de Mayo drinks at the incredible Rainforest Cafe. Then we went back to the hotel and had a little dance party and got ready for our 5K.
We were in the 8th (and final) wave of the 5k, so we didn't start running until 42 minutes after the first wave had left (and some had finished already!). The 5K went through the parking lot, through Animal Kingdom. There were 3 "obstacles" we had to do also; jump hay bales, jump through tires, and crawl under a net. Once the race was completed we had to do our scavenger hunt. We had four clues then a final one that got us into the after party. The scavenger hunt also went through the park and ended in Dino land. We got some Poweraide, our medal (that doubles as a compass!) and then Ansley and I went to ride the Expedition Everest coaster. BEST. COASTER. EVER. It was incredible. We rode it twice then headed to check out the rest of the party. We came across a circle of people and there were two people having what looked like a dance off. They finished and the Ice Ice baby started playing. Not wanting to waste an opportunity to dance, I headed out there. I dragged Ans along with me and we, along with this other really good dancer, danced until the party ended at 2 AM. So that's at least 3 hours of dancing. I could hardly walk back to my car, but it was absolutely worth it.
During the dance party, we danced with Baloo from The Jungle Book. He was quite a character (ba-dunch!) and we shimmied, did the Bernie, and some Latin moves and much more! There was a guy doing video too, and the camera LOVED us. The other guy dancing was AWESOME. He had moves like Jagger, for reals.
The party finally ended and we were heading out of the park. We ended up chatting with the really good dancer and turns out he's from Sweden! He's currently an au pair for a family in the states and they were here for the race. He was really nice and we're kicking ourselves for not getting his name!!!
We, team named the Disney Divas, finished the 5K in 39:16, which is INCREDIBLE. I was shocked, honestly. I thought it would take me way longer than that. I would totally do a 5k again, but I need to work on my running and getting my asthma in check.
In other news, I had to leave B here while I was there, and I was told he cried the entire first night I was gone, and he's limping. So that's basically the epitome of pathetic and sad. :(
ALSO- I'm a senior in college! woop woop!!
Have a great week!

Camels, Advisors and Finals, OH MY!
Tomorrow after 10:45 I can finally breathe easy!! All but two of my finals (projects) will be DONE.
One if due Tuesday, and that's a 10-page group paper. I just have to organize my part of the paper and I'm good with that.
The last is due a week from today, and this weekend I've got a long car trip and I don't need internet to complete it, so I will be golden. It's just a screenplay so anything goes. I just hope my family doesn't read it over my shoulder in the car. That always makes me uncomfortable. If they want to read the finished product, they can, without me in the room.
Speaking of my screenplay, theres a scene where the main character is flipping though the channels and stops on the news. It's 9/11 and the first tower is in smoke. So, to make my screenplay accurate, I went to YouTube and videoed actual live coverage of it. Then in class when we were reading portions, one girl commented that it didn't seem realistic!!!!! I was like "what?! Cause I got that off YouTube." It was probably just the way the person read it. And honey, I'm a digital and broadcast major, I know how to write for news, and I would know how to make it realistic. Whatever.
In relation to frustrating people... MY ADVISOR! Oh my gosh! I didn't know it was possible for a PROFESSIONAL to be so UNprofessional. Seriously, it made it ill with anger. If you care to know the full story I'd be pleased to let you know. I just don't feel like typing it all out at the moment.
There was a camel on campus today. Twas awesome.

Oscars
![]() |
| B & the ladiesss! |
B was my date for the Oscars!
I took some strawberry muffins to the brinner Oscars party. Semi-homemade: the strawberry muffin packet, milk, and cut up real strawberries. They were a hit! :D I guess I'll sell muffins at my future bakery along with cupcakes!
ps- who else got free pancakes today?!
