And it was a good weekend!
I officially finished up all my midterms last week (yay!) in time to start thinking about finals (whaaaat?!). It's funny how the quarter system works that way. It keeps me busy. I also got my grades back for almost everything I've turned in/taken, and am happy with the results thus far. Keepin' up my grades so I can have something to brag about someday :)
The week was pretty boring though (see above- that's about it), the REAL fun came this weekend. I went to Auburn for the Veteran's Day parade/marching band competition, and saw SO MANY people! It was a very good trip!
It started out on Friday at 1:00pm, when I picked up Rachel and Paulina and we hit the road (but not literally, because that would be rude). We made really good time to Auburn (2 hours!), but sadly, Rachel lives in Puyallup. It took about 3 hours for me to get to Puyallup and back to Auburn. Yes, THREE. Good thing Rachel and I are such great friends! :)
When I finally made it back, I saw Paulina's family and they were kind enough to take me to dinner. Then the real adventure started. Paulina and I left to go see Paranormal Activity 3, but first we had to pick up Aldo (a guy from my AP Spanish class senior year). We were running late, so instead of the 7:45 show, we decided to go to the 8:30 one. But once we got there, guess who forgot ID?!
.......that's right, I did. So we went all the way back to Paulina's house to get it, and ended up going to a 10:00 show. We had time to kill though (all these violent sayings! We did not actually kill the time, I promise), so we sent to SUPERWalMart. Everyone knows that candy is cheaper there than at the theater! So anyway, we finally made it to the movie. It was suspenseful, but not scary until the last 10 minutes or so.
My "I just saw a scary movie" face!
After the movie I stayed with Paulina, and we had a nice long talk about life and such :) and I woke up the next morning to a cat cuddling with me! I miss my kitty.
Saturday was more eventful! I got up early-ish and went to pick up my favorite little munchkins :) I'm so glad they still remember me! I took them to the parade where I met up with some other people my age, and it was fun. The part that weirded me out was that it was...... sunny. Haha.
Aren't they adorable?! Someone thought they were mine though.... definitely not.
After the parade I took the girls home, and then Adrienne, Sam and I ran to the competition and ALMOST didn't make it! We cut things close a lot that day, haha. But we saw the band perform and they were WONDERFUL. It made me miss being on the field with them. We got to hang out with all the band kids afterwards and watched more bands and all that good stuff. It was really good to see all of them again!
Sam, Adrienne and I watching bands :)
At the park! We are such good friends :P
"The Gang"
Leaf mustache, it's the new thing.
Watching bands :)
Katieee! I missed this girl :)
After we left the competition (the band placed 2nd, the guard 1st (whoot, I trained them well! haha), and got best general effect! So proud), Adrienne, Aldo, Paulina, Sam, Stephen and I went to ice cream, which was also fun. I stayed the night at Sam's house- I'm so lucky to have friends who are willing to let me stay with them!
So today I got up and got ready, and here is the most dramatic part of my weekend- I couldn't find my license. I was supposed to take my friend to get a lotto ticket (he just turned 18), but I didn't end up doing that because I had to go on a hunt for my license. Needless to say, I felt bad about that. Anyway, I called Paulina to ask her, I went to the theater to see if they found it (and the lady was MEAN) and I freaked out all morning. Then I finally found it.
.....in my backpack. Darn Socrates (the book) was hiding it. I'm glad I found it, but I still feel silly.
After all that excitement, I met Rachel and we headed back to our lovely town of Bellingham.
Then end :)
