It's Part of Being a Teen Mom.

Hahaha just kidding, don't worry.  The actual title was "Its part of being a teen".

Partly blogging because i'm feeling stupid and introspective, and partly because i haven't blogged in a while.  I was planning on posting some pictures and writing some good stories in this post, but it's almost 12 and i'm way too lazy to do shit.  Yes, summer has officially kicked in.  TOO BAD WE STILL HAVE SCHOOL.  And finals are next week! Ugh, please just punch me in the face, now.  The last thing i want to do is study, which is funny because i should really be studying for the math test tomorrow that's either gonna make or break my average. 

But of course, instead, i'm sitting here typing up this worthless mass of words.  Frustrated with school, what's new.  Also a little frustrated with a few people.  If you're a good stalker, you remember my first few posts about that girl that decided to blog shit about me.  Yeah, those were the times (: But anyway, recently she blogged some really insulting things about one of my friends who used to go out with her.  Won't go into details about what exactly it said but it might've had to do with him "being a jealous loser" and "too cheap to take her out".  Basically really ignorant and jerk-esque comments.  Of course he was super upset since he actually found it online and read it.  Then he sent her a rage-mail and plans to kind of end their friendship.  The thing that bothers me is that although i feel really bad for him, and please understand that i truly think this is awful of her, i am annoyed that he always complains about things to me.  I can tolerate it from basically anyone else, but i don't understand why i can't tolerate his complaining !  It just gets to me in some magically irritating way.  So i tried to explain that weird reasoning to my kind-of best friend (do we even use the term best friend anymore? I feel like in highschool, we don't have a designated actual best friend) and she didn't understand me.  She thought i just didn't care about him at all.  And it's just so hard to explain why i feel the way i do.  I just think he needs to man up a little bit!  Let his friends help him build up self confidence and curb his paranoia.  But he doesn't, and it bothers me that i can't fix him i guess. Maybe that's the reason why.  There are alot of things in this world that need fixing.  And we just can't fix them.  Two that i thought about today were war and suicide.  War because in AP history we're watching a documentary titled "Why We Fight".  And it's sad because people don't know why, and the government feels the need to cover things up and lie in order to get their war approved.  They're just rich people wearing their formal attire who sit down and literally have the power to determine the fate of thousands upon thousands of people.  We saw clips of the suffering and destruction we brought to Iraq.  Little kids bloodied and crying in stretchers.  Piles of white corpses, caked with dried blood.  How can people think that's justified?  I understand that i'm being completely naive, but why can't we just eliminate war?  Why do things such as genocides occur? Why are some of us so privileged, and others starving.  I'm getting off topic.  The second thing that happened, was a lady in a nearby town committed suicide this morning at 5 by jumping in front of a train going at 130 mph.  Why do people have to end their own lives?  Is it because there wasn't anyone there to love them?  Is it because they've been treated badly?  And then that makes you think why we drive other human beings to resort to something like that.  Or maybe they are depressed.  But how can it be fair for people to suffer from something like that ?  Something seemingly incurable?  I don't know.  And i can be sure that most people who have thought about it probably don't either.  Why are there so many ridiculously awful things going on in our world ?  And why can't we fix them !?  It's infuriating to think about sometimes.  It makes the concept that a human being is utterly useless and very incapable of doing anything.  But then history tells us of the leaders who were able to propel mass movements and actually make a change.  For a normal teenager living in suburbia, this is some deep shit that i can't even begin to understand.  I'm sorry to all the religious people out there, but this is my blog, so i get to say whatever the hell i want:  How can there be a god when things like this are happening?  Where is he and why isn't he helping anyone?  How can innocent children die gruesome deaths, and the bomb droppers be awarded adulation?   Each human being is so complex, it's scary to think that every single person who has been unjustifiably killed had their own thought process, their own view of everything.  I'm not really sure if any of that actually made sense, but if you think about it, the massive scope of life is crazy, and the fact that some people are able to end the lives of others is ridiculously scary.  Now it's past 12, and i probably should get to sleep.  So my justification for all of this?  It's all part of being a teen.  See how clever that was? Ha, the title of my post. 

Right, so i'll post bowling/band pics next time, and maybe not talk about things i have no idea about.  Oh wait, that's basically everything. Ha. See what i did there? Yes, i insulted myself....but that's part of being a teen! Okay, that's overkill.  Good night !!

Feels like Summer !

The weather has been so warm lately!  Actually that's an understatement: It's hot as hell, so hot that i decided to ditch a blanket while i slept...so now i have a fantastically sore throat and this annoying hack of a cough, just in time for the weekend ! Greeeaaaattt.  But besides for that, life is pretty good :)  Summer is just around the corner, kind of, and SAT scores came out yesterday ~! 800 on physics nbd, i literally jumped out of my seat and leapt for joy ( i thought i failed it ).  There are alot of things i haven't blogged about (i realized after looking through my camera), so i'll try to run through some random boring events in my life that have happened in the past month.  First up is probably this art show i went to a billion years ago.  A lot of the stuff there was absolutely amazing.  Seriously, i couldn't stop staring at them.  My teacher submitted the oil pastel bottle i drew a while ago, can you spot it?  Although i have a phobia of bugs, i was in love with the the colored pencil (?) wasp next to mine. 

This was a picture that i was completely obsessed with.  It seems so effortless and just, well, amazing.  My dad kept nagging me about why i was "wasting" my time looking at that one when there were so many super fancy oil paintings hanging up.  Anyway, the  reception was good, and the food even better :) What pissed me off were the pieces that they picked to receive awards. I felt like most of the ones they picked were actually somewhat poorly executed.  There were definitely some in my opinion that deserved awards, but didn't get any.  On the brightside, Juliana from my art class got an honorable mention! Her's is the fish that's next to mine (scroll up to admire). 

So i bet you're wondering what that amazingly delicious looking, masterfully crafted dish is? Its what i made my mom for mothers day!  After trying to wake up at 6 to make her breakfast and failing, i tumbled out of bed at around 11 just in time for lunch.  It wasn't fancy, but it tasted yummy :) Also, how boss is that picture?  Photo cred goes to my dad, who's extremely proud of his food photography skills.  It actually does look really nice though: Sharply focussed in the foreground, and blurry in the background.  I recently found some nice blogs on blogger, one of which belongs to a woman who is an amazing photographer.  She takes pictures of random everyday things, and her three adorable kids. It's fantastic, really.  But i think she decided to make her blog private after a bunch of creepers started commenting on it, so now i can't see her updates :'( .  Oh well.  The other blog that i absolutely loved is written by a girl named Sonia Eryka who lives in Indonesia and blogs about fashion, music, and her life (which is way more eventful than mine, and she's less than one year older than me !)  She is about to launch her own line and doesn't seem 17 at all!  Seriously, i could easily peg her as a girl recently out of college and making a living off of fashion.  Here's a link to her blog [ click! ] Did i mention that she's gorgeous?  I feel some sort of weird connection, and i think it's because we have the same name haha (well technically, mine is spelled with a "y" but lets not be picky now hmm?)  The message i got from her blog?  Stop worrying about pointless things, and just live your life!  Seriously, if you put your mind to it, you can make whatever you want out of yourself.  Also, being a hedonist isn't a crime :)  Neither is randomly chucking SAT vocab into a blog post. (I get to take them again next saturday AKA prom weekend! Fantastic, huh?)  Anyway, continuing with the boring recap of the things that make up my life... It's my sister! Notice how her hair's wet?  Well that's because we just finished playing in her new sprinkler.... which is actually this giant oversized beach-ball-esque-thing that shoots water out of random holes.  It's absolutely fantastic.

Haha, isn't that great?? Also, the other day kaykay got a ballon, and my dad came up with this game where he would raise her up and she would try to catch it.  Of course i took a billion pictures, it was adorable !
It didn't last long though because my dad's arms were about to fall off (not literally).  Kaykay's like 98475 pounds (again, i kid you). You can't tell from this picture, but she's wearing this super cute hello kitty shirt (yes, i know that's really asian). We got it for her when we went to old navy. Yes, it was my first time going shopping in the past decade.  God, i can't wait to go shopping for real though as soon as SATs are over next weekend.  If you didn't get the insinuation, my mom wouldn't let me go shopping for the past forever because of testing and other bs reasons, etc etc. On the brightside, i got a few shirts, and a swimsuit from there.  I was pleasantly surprised by the swimsuit though.  Usually the stuff there fits really awkwardly and is too big, but this one was perf, and didn't feel like an old navy suit at all!  I would go into deets, but at this point you're probably half asleep. It's 3 am lol, why am i awake again?

So today my family went to THE DYNASTY for dim sum!  Actually technically it was yesterday because it's 3 fucking am right now.  Oh wait, did i mention that it's 3?  I didn't? Well it is.  Anyway, it was to celebrate my parent's anniversary!  I absolutely love that place.  Their food is heaven served in little bit-sized form.  I forgot what happened but my sister burst into tears during the middle of it.  I think it was because my dad got up from his chair and moved so i could take a picture of him and my mom.  But whatever it was, we solved the problem by taking a million photos of her.  Notice how i don't look that amused in the picture? Ha.

And i randomly included this picture because i was scrolling through pics and found it mildly entertaining.  So there you go :) 

And the above pic you ask?  It was the giant cup of strawberry smoothie i made a few hours ago when i started this blog.  (and it was delicious)  The little pot is a toothpick holder we've had for probably 8 years or so, and my dad broke it :'(  

Anyway, i finished that smoothie a while ago.  I also downed a bottle of coke. Yay for blogging at 3 am! (3:08 to be exact, but hey who's keeping track) God my sleep-pattern is completely screwed up.  On the brightside, i managed to listen to all of Supercell's new album [ Today is a Beautiful Day ] while typing up this monster of a post.  No i'm not japanese, but i do love their music, and their art is ammazziinngg !  Supercell is made up of 11 people: one who actually produces the music, and the rest who are illustrators, designers, and animators.  Check them out if you're interested~  Okay, i really need to stop typing.  Gotta go to sleep so i can wake up bright and early for some hardcore studying !  Ha, as if.  Anyway, hopefully i'll go to the beach next weekend, after i completely destroy my SATs of course :')

Night! 3:28. HA.

Love, Sonya (:

Lolz.

Hey mara :)
How cheap is this?? hahaha

Freedom Week?

Not.  I almost had 4 whole days of freedom.  And by freedom i mean going out for a few hours every night.  Today i went out for Indian food, and it was fantastic, but then my mom called and yelled at me over the phone to go home right away and do work.  Ha. It's a fucking friday night, and i have to go home to do fucking homework that's due NEXT FUCKING THURSDAY.  Are you kidding me?  And i kind of hate myself because i listened and drove home.  Then i went on the computer, which triggers a screaming match.  Not only am i not allowed out, i also can't GO ON THE COMPUTER.  This week hasn't even been that easy.  You'd think with APs and SAT IIs done, i wouldn't have any homework right?  Completely wrong. I've been stressing over a stupid art project and i had so much tutor homework that was due yesterday (thursday).  Which i obviously did. So the point is, that my parents don't need to breathe down my back and tell me exactly when i need to do my work.  Who the hell cares as long as it's finished on time!?  Is this even normal ???  A friend told me that i need to just stop stressing, and i'm trying but i can't!  How can i when my parents are constantly telling me i'm not good enough, i need to work harder, my grades aren't up to their standards, all i do is slack, and i socialize too much. EXCUSE ME. I've barely gone anywhere for the past few months.  Don't even try to tell me that i need to balance my social life with my work.  Why? Because i don't HAVE a social life (that sounds so pathetic).  I always have to say no to my friends for everything, and even when i'm allowed to go, my parents somehow change their minds literally an hour before, so i have to call and be a total bitch by canceling.  I've always tried to be that person who didn't get all insecure about things, or atleast tried not to tell anyone about it, but i might as well post it on this piece of shit that i call my blog because no one reads it anyway (except for you guys, and i know you won't judge me for being such a whinny bitch in this post).  I'm scared that i'm going to lose my friends because i can never be there for them or go to places or support them (except for the voice recital mara, you rocked!).  I feel removed from everyone, and sometimes i'm scared that i'm going to become a boring soulless monster from the black lagoon (lmao, i'm jk-ing btw, i'm not actually scared of turning into a lake monster).  But i am worried about becoming a boring person (if i'm not already -_- ).   Sometimes i feel like that awkward outsider, even if i'm just with emma and some of her friends which is absolutely ridiculous because me and emma are supposed to be best friends right? I don't blame her though because i know it's my fault that i can never do anything.  Sometimes i feel sorry for my friends because they have to deal with me.  And i feel sorry for my parents because i'm such a disappointment in their eyes.   They just wanted an obedient, smart daughter who gets straight A's, can speak perfect chinese, and plays the piano and violin.  But what do they get? They get me. The girl who can hardly read chinese.  Who quit piano and plays the drums.  Who occasionally gets B's on her report card (goddamnit hornstein).  And who doesn't know her role as a grateful daughter.  Sometimes i try to be all the things that they want, but no matter how hard i try, it's never enough.  I feel like such a failure, but i know i'm supposed to love myself no matter what, and i shouldn't let my parents get to me.  But it's just so hard to ignore them.  Some one once told me that i'm too sensitive, and maybe they're right.  I don't know how to change that though.  And btw, i don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.  Most of the time i hate my house and i can't wait to leave this place, but i know that i owe alot to my family.  They've housed, clothed, and fed me for 17 fucking years and only want the best for my future, but i really wish they could just back off and let me go.  I'm so lucky to be living the life i am, and i feel selfish wanting more, but i do and i can't help it.  I feel so guilty whenever i think about it. (okay swear to god, i need to fix that. I feel guilty over everything all the time, it actually pisses me off lol).  I know this blog entry completely sucks but typing it all out relieves alot of stress.  Sorry if you had to read this! I'll try to salvage this post by adding some random pictures:

A turkey! The first time i saw one. I freaked and took alot of pictures lol.

Some guy at the beach who was into the whole low-pants thing. Really suits him.

Trying to be artsy.  This was the sunset from the boat we were on this summer (cruise). Pretty huh?

The amazing band that performed on the boat. Lovelovelove them.

I creeped on some awesome asians playing mah-jong (on the boat). 

My sister and her fat cheeks :)

Some super spicy (and delicious) thing my mom made. Lmao this is so random. 

Art homework i did a month or so ago. In the corner is my sister's hand! And yes, that's tofu ^_^

The current art project that's completely screwing with my life.  The unfinished one with the yellow and blue is painted.  The other is markered (lmao is that a word?), and the piece of crap in the back is going to somehow become a cutout that i'm going to ink and print. 

Thanks for reading my ridiculously long post ! Hope you didn't fall asleep (:

♥ Sonya

Should i blog because my stalker demands it?

Apparently the answer is yes. :)
I hope you're satisfied to be reading about nothing lol.

Anyway....TESTING IS FINALLY DONE!
5 APs and 2 SATIIs down...0 to go ! HA. Take that collegeboard.

So at the moment i'm eating extra crunchy peanut butter and thinking of what to actually write, because my life is mainly uneventful.  How sad.

... i just folded laundry, cleaned my room, and came back. And i still don't have anything to say. Don't you regret nagging me to post? :)

lol and i just went back to my room and cleaned some more.  It's so neat that it's actually kind of borderline creepy.

And i just had dinner. It's actually been 4 hours since i started this post, and i still haven't gotten anywhere.

Okay, so i guess i should talk about my 2 weeks since my last post.  I studied. It sucked. I took tests. They sucked.  That's pretty much it.

On the brightside, it's finally Freedom Week which is kind of a misnomer, because i still have alot of homework to start/finish for my tutor in two days.  Okay, that wasn't exactly a brightside :\  I'm starting to think that i suck at happy upbeat posts.  Anyway, today i went out to lunch with nicole and dan (for open lunch) and we went to coppola's.  I got this giant sandwhich thing with red peppers, eggplant, mozzarella, and spinach in it.  It was amazing, but then we were almost last, so we had to run back to the school.  It was probably the most excercise i've done in a long time lol, and i was dying. I need to start working out. So good story, right?

Haha, moving on, on saturday mara and courtney came over to work on a japanese video project about the three R's: reduce, reuse, recycle.  The vid turned out pretty good in my opinion, there was a fantastic clip of this guy in another group who was dressed in this weird white plastic thing from head to toe, carrying a wand.  He was the recycling fairy. lol.

Also recently i discovered that taylor swift is kind of amazing :).  My friend was disillusioned by my lack of TS songs, and sent me 10 songs (which i'm actually listening to at the moment) I'm enchanted to listen to them (: ha, clever right?

There're some things to look forward to this week! SATS! lmao jk.  Friday i'm going out with a bunch of friends to some Indian place abby picked. And then...DISNEY SLEEPOVER.  It's the real deal, and it's here!

Anyway, i gotta go write an advice letter for any prospective apush students :) it's definitely gonna be filled with warnings haha

Maybe next time i'll blog about something actually interesting :)

I have nothing to say

haha i really don't.
i mainly just don't feel like doing math, and also mara told me i should blog.
speaking of mara, she and my other friend, nicole, made blogs recently! (they were inspired by a very good role model).

The past week was pretty shitty in general, but at the same time kind of amazing?  I was just happy to finally be out of my house, even if it meant going to school.  Back to school also meant back to ridiculous amounts of hw.  Which meant staying up every night and getting 3 hours of sleep. Fantastic. I wrote my whole thesis that was due on wednesday, tuesday night. We've known about this paper for at least a month haha.  In the end i ended up citing whole paragraphs from the book and managed to make it long enough. (did i mention that i never actually read the book?) Got a 98 on it, nbd. :) mainly because my teacher is a super easy grader, but i just pretend it's because of my fantastic writing skills.

Something good that happened this week was that Mr. V decided that he's going to enter one of my past homeworks into some congressional art show.  I doubt i stand a chance of placing, but my picture looks cool with a big frame around it ^_^ On the downside, that class actually sucks lol.  Everyday i just go and pretend i'm getting stuff done while trying not to fall asleep.  Oh wait, it's pretty hard to fall asleep because mr. v blasts really weird music and noel and alex are always shouting about getting high.  And emily likes to tell the world about her weird sex adventures. Lol if any of them ever magically find this blog, i'm screwed.

Thursday mara and i went out for pizza after school (if you're reading this, we should do that more often!) My mom didn't find out (: so thank god. it was nice actually doing something for once.  What's going to be even better is when ap tests are FINALLY over.  Only two more weeks to go until freedom! and then.....disney marathon sleepover :) how ready for this are you guys !?

So last night, i stayed up until 6 am talking with chris (kemps guy).  We talked about so many things it was ridiculous haha, but i thought it was worth the tiredness because i learned alot of new things about him.  Also i managed to read two whole chapters of amsco during our talk lol.

Ahhh so many things i can't write on my blog now

Anyway, i'll end this entry here, it was pretty long and pointless haha

Night! ♥

Disney Magic !

So this week was our school's spring break, and guess where i went? duh it's in the title of this blog, but still: DISNEY WORLD ! The whole thing was kind of ridiculously magical and fantastic. (did i mention magical?)

Right before take off!! Stupid scratch marks on the window messed up the picture :(

The sunrise from 2904545 feet above sea level nbd. (i hate those scratch marks)

On the first day I woke up at 2:30 am so i could be at the school by 3. Then we took buses to the airport so we could catch our early flight.  By 10 am we were walking around in hollywood studios!  My friends made me go on rockin' rollercoaster, which i thought was a kiddie coaster, but i was COMPLETELY WRONG.

Here's the calm-before-the-ride pic

When we were in line for it i was okay, but near the end of the line, you get to see the people get shot off at speeds of 20958 mph and that's when i knew i'd made a huge mistake.  But being the brave and stalwart person i am, i went on the ride anyway, and it was actually fun in a terrifying sort of way. The first day was kind of a blur cuz we were so ridiculously tired, and as soon as we got back to the room at 9 that night, we all passed out.

Second day we went to epcot!  Probably one of my favorite places we went to.  Seeing all the different countries was really cool, and in China i met MULAN.  She was so legit and in character that i decided to overlook the fact that she was white (or atleast that's what we thought).

Look it's us together in the motherland !

We ended up eating dinner at this fancy place in Morocco which was kind of the best decision i've ever made haha.  I split shish kabobs, a salad, and beef rolls with a friend, and it was deliissshhh.  My other two friends got lamb couscous, and they ate it to the bone....then they wrapped up their giant bone and took it with them as a souvenir hahaha.
Lol also they have this hilarious thing called the Great American Adventure in Epcot.  Why don't they just call it America?  We finished the night by watching these amazing fireworks, and then went back to the hotel.  After taking showers, three of us went to the tub and soaked our feet.  Swear to god if it weren't for our bi-nightly soaks, my feet would've fallen off after the ridiculous amounts of walking we did.

Third day was magic kingdom ! I went on space mountain twice, and splash mountain once (: see the transition from absolutely terrified of rollercoasters, to actually kind of liking them? After lunch we reported to the meeting place for marching band kids and changed into our thick black uniforms. It was over 90 degrees nbd.  Luckily we made it along the whole parade route with no one passing out, which has happened alot in the past.  After finally changing out of our uniforms, we walked around, only to be denied a chance to meet pooh and tigger.  "No more people in line" ....are you kidding me?? I did not fly to florida just to get denied my tigger and pooh. Sadly there was nothing we could do about it, so we suppressed our disappointment by going on the pooh ride (we ride in honeypots!) and eating ice cream.  Then we made our way to main street where we watched the electrical parade! After that there was this cool show where they lit up the castle different colors and showed pictures on it.  And after that was the wishes fireworks show~!

After the fireworks, we went back to the hotel at like 11 and immediately passed out haha.

The fourth day was universal studios! Harry Potter World was pretty amazing.  Sarah and I were waiting outside of the Three Broomsticks for two of our friends to get off a ride we were too chicken to go on.  While we were sitting there, matt (sarah's kind of friend but she hates him and apparently he hates her? idk.) walked by and told us to go inside and help his group eat because they ordered way too much.  Apparently they had some guy-drama where four of them wanted to split a giant feast option for $50 but one guy backed out at the last minute, and then another guy didn't want to step in and be the 4th person.  When matt went outside it was only because he was storming away from the table in anger hahaha.  Anyway, we walked in to find a table piled with food. And semi successfully managed to help eat.  I cleared the potatoes for them and was instantly stuffed.  They were pretty good, and the fact that i got a free lunch made them all the more better (:

remnants :)

After lunch we walked around and got completely soaked on this one raft ride, and my pants never dried that day haha.  When we ate dinner at the hard rock cafe, my pants left wet marks on the chair.  Speaking of hard rock, i had a bacon burger there and it was kind of super delicious. While we were eating, this one kid comes over and just walks straight into the window hahaha.  He actually thought it was the door lol

When we got home from that, my room decided to have girl-bonding night! This time, four of us soaked our feet together. Then afterward we played a deep (and semi-awkward) round of truth or dare.  It was really nice though since it was a good way for us to open up to each other.  Some of the questions were really probing, but i was pleasantly surprised that everyone answered truthfully.  We did this exercise where we told the other four our favorite traits of theirs. It was really nice (: Abby kept randomly falling asleep/singing along with her music out of no where.  When her ipod fell off the bed and disconnected with her earphones we all silently cheered haha because she didn't notice, and we weren't about to tell her about it.  Dare wise, we were limited since we weren't allowed out of the room (the chaperones taped the door, so they'll know if we sneak out).  But we made a dare list, for the next day.  My friend had to ask her crush to go on a ride with her (which she totally rocked. If you're reading this, i'm proud of you!!). Another girl has to go a whole day without makeup which she is valiantly undertaking on monday.   My dare was to have a 90 sec conversation with this guy. The next day at animal kingdom i didn't go up to him because it was too embarrassing, but when we got to the airport for our flight back, i ended up asking him to play cards with us.  We were partners for kemps (: and it was really fun~! So i kind of super over-achieved with my dare, nbd.  There ended up being a pretty long delay with our flight, so we played cards for a few hours (no complaints here).


But back-tracking a little, the fifth day was animal kingdom, and we saw the coolest animals there!  As soon as we walked into the park, a ranger/employee person greeted us holding a glass cage.  Inside was an african bullfrog or something like that, and it was hilarious since it was so ridiculously fat hahaha, and it kind of did a weird waddle walk.  Then we moved onto these large open areas with animals.  At this one place there were these giant gorgeous macaws.  We noticed that there wasn't any sort of net that kept them in though, and wondered why they didn't just fly away.  Sarah (a friend) told me that it was because they cut their feathers so that they couldn't fly.  Even though we knew, we thought we'd mess with the ranger-guy who was nearby.  Our conversation went something like this:

Me: Excuse me, why don't they just fly away?
Ranger-guy: We clip their primary flight feathers.
Mara: But that's awfully sad!
Ranger-guy: Well, it's just like getting a haircut!
Me: Technically isn't it like getting a footcut since it disables them?
Mara: Yeah, i don't know about you, but my hair doesn't help me fly.

....and after that we just walked away because he looked pretty pissed off.  I bet he has to deal with that kind of thing on a daily basis, poor guy.



Anyway, we journeyed to Asia where we went on the Expedition Everest rollercoaster twice (we went on it again later too). Seriously, this trip actually completely turned around my opinion of rollercoasters. They used to be terrifying and a definite no-no, but now they're terrifying in a good way :)

For lunch, our whole school went to the rainforest cafe! It was sooo cool inside, but the swinging monkey over our table got annoying after a little bit. Seriously, it was going crazy.  One of my friends started feeling pretty sick during/after lunch.  She was actually shaking like crazy and we thought she was dehydrated so she drank like a billion cups of water (and then we made a billion trips to the bathroom after that). On the brightside, we managed to meet pooh, tigger, and eeyore! So take that you stupid-heads from magic kingdom. >:(  animal kingdom's where it's at.

After walking around and doing some shopping, it was time to leave :( oooh but before we left i made my friends go do that face-in-the-hole thing. Haha i've always wanted to do one of those, it was really fun~ After that we got a little lost looking for the exit, and when courtney said "i think we need to turn around" Mara just gave up and sat down hahaha, but eventually we found the exit (turns out we went in the complete wrong direction)

So we got on the buses and watched disney pass us by on the way to the airport :'(

Along the way, sarah and i realized that we had to pee reeaaallly bad cuz we drank alot of water but forgot to go to the bathroom before leaving.  So after forever, we finally reached the airport and got checked in.  Then we sprinted for the bathrooms. (we actually sprinted up the escalators but the bathrooms were downstairs so we had to sprint back down lol)

After that we learned that there was going to be a pretty big delay for the plane, and the whole cards thing happened n_n

We also found out that mara (the super drinking/peeing one) was actually sick with a fever of 102 :(  Then she got quarantined on the plane which totally sucked. The plane ride as a whole stunk.  Near the end there was mega-turbulence and a couple people near me puked. TOO BAD THERE WEREN'T PUKE BAGS.....  But in reality, people managed to get some sort of bag just in time, so it was all good.  

We finally made it to the airport, and landed in the middle of a storm, which made me instantly miss the warm sunshine of florida :(  After over an hour of baggage claiming, we finally stumbled onto the buses at 1 am, tired as hell.  The funny part is that we were supposed to be back at the school by 9ish but we didn't until 2.  

Well, that was our trip in a nutshell (: just thought i'd blog about it since it's something i want to remember~!

hahaha i ♥ disney! (:
