Brenna's Spring Break

I already typed it all out on my personal blog... So I'm going to copy and paste it here :D

I wish I could say that I'm posting from my home in San Diego, all cozy in my bed with some french toast sitting next to me that my brother brought up. But I can't.

I'm back at school already, that one week flew by so fast, even though coming back here I feel like I was gone for months.
I did, however, get one lovely morning just like the one described above.
This was Monday. but I have to start from the beginning.
It doesn't start pretty.
I had a tummy bug and felt awful on Thursday. I actually skipped my class, because I woke up halfway through it from a nap, and then had to go to the ladies room to puke my guts out.
So I was an invalid that day. My mum and grandma came to pick me up Friday morning. I had a lovely car ride back. And even had the most wonderful nugget experience I've ever encountered. I was half sleeping in the back seat of my grandma's car, and they stopped at McD's for some food. I just got a small sprite and nuggets. But oh! were they yummy! I always had a soft spot for nuggets, I don't know why, I just love them to bits.
Anyways, so I was half asleep, and I would just get a nibble of one and then just lie there munching on it slowly and dreaming away. They lasted me hours! which I don't mind, because I took my time to enjoy them.
So. I got better.
Easter Sunday was nice, just to church and then had some cinni rolls and eggs for a nice breakfast. That's about it. Taran had work at Sea World so I just lazed about.

Monday was the morning of wonderfuls. Taran came in to wake me up and did the job, but of course I'm on break, it's going to take a stampede to get me out of bed before noon! So he left and came back about an hour later with some french toast and strawberry milk. So I browsed the web on my trusty compy as I enjoyed my brother made and delivered breakfast in bed. I suspect he wanted to butter me up for the torture he had planned for me that day. Which I'm fine with, because he also bought me lunch when we walked down the hill to the taco shop, and got some pop, and twizlers pull n' peel, and sour patch watermelons!!
He wanted me to watch High School Musical 3 with him. And I have to admit, it was better than the other 2. You can tell they had a multi-million dollar budget. That much money going into a teeny bopper super camp movie... aren't we having trouble with our economy?
Anyways. Tuesday I went to Sea World with Taran. It was fun, except for the high school band creep that hit on me. I didn't even realize what happened until later when I was telling it to Taran. People don't usually hit on me, so how am I supposed to know what it's like? Anyways, that was creepy. And he probably didn't even think that I could be 2 or more years older than him, which I probably was. It was odd walking around by myself. I don't drive yet, so I haven't really tasted the total independence thing yet. So being alone in Sea World with only my a park map to guide me was a bit unnerving. But I filmed Taran during his show!

Isn't he just precious!?

Wed, Thurs, Fri was... going to grandma's house to clean and help out as payment for her helping me with The Rescue, chillin' with Kyla and getting some of the best food known to man CARNE ASADA FRIES!! (soooooo gooooooooood!!!), going to every thrift store known to Chula Vista to find a bird cage for 3D (we didn't even fine one!), applying for jobs at various store locations, and going to opening night Friday night to see The Glass Menagerie! It was really good.

Saturday we drove up to Grandma Peirson's and chilled until Sunday morning, when I was dropped off back here at school.
And that's my spring break in a nutshell.... but not literally.... I know what you're thinking Kenny!
So... (buttons)...that's about it. The Rescue is this Saturday! I got my shirts in the mail yesterday, so today I'm rockin' my "I heart the LRA" tee. :D

It's been nasty hot here, 100 yesterday! hope I don't melt!

OH!! today is April 21! my Unbirthday! only 1/2 a year to go until I'm 20!!! Hooray!

Drink lots of water to stay well!

Sneaks on a Plane

Since no one seems to update the blog anymore (cough cough, Brenna, Kendall), I guess it falls on my shoulders to entertain the uncountable masses who assuredly read this blog. Agreed? Agreed. I am currently cruising at an altitude of 10,000 feet and moving at a velocity of 2400mph. Actually, I have no clue what altitude and velocity we are at, so I just made something up that sounded good.

Well, after what seemed like ages (nigh billions of years), spring break has finally arrived! Hoozah! It’s kind of a bummer that everyone else already had their breaks, since it was torturous to read them gloat on Facebook about being in Florida, while we were still entrenched in our studies, even though we do go to school in sunny California. However, after break we will only have 32 days of class until summer, so that is quite the bonus. Kenny left last night to stay over at her brother’s fiancé’s apartment, in order to get an early start this morning. They are currently on their way to Wyoming, to visit family. Brenna was probably still sleeping when I left at the unearthly hour of 7am this morning. Her mother was driving up from San Diego to pick her up around 9am. As I said, I am on an airplane right now, zooming back to MN to be with my fam for the week. I have a window seat, but I’m pretty sure it’s the only window in the entire plane that has condensation on it, severely hampering my ability to view the terrain below. Aka, I can see nothing. This would happen to me.

I also received my first ever complimentary bag of peanuts today!! It only took 6 flights to get it. I was beginning to think it was all a large transportation conspiracy, or some sort of mythical notion that didn’t actually exist. I’m saving them for later, for a moment when I can actually savor the 12g snack. Seriously, is that enough to feed an ant? Maybe one of those super tiny red ones. Then again, they seem quite aggressive, so they might actually need more sustenance than a normal ant. I’m not sure. I should ask one sometime, right before I squish him and wipe him on my pants. Since the caf is closed today, due to break, I saved myself a muffin from dinner last night to eat as my breakfast this morning. I’d never eaten a muffin from the caf, but figured I would give it a try. Heck, I didn’t want to pay for some outrageously overpriced pastry at the airport. I should have known it wouldn’t turn out well. After one bite, that was not only tasteless, but also stale, I threw the pitiful excuse for food into the trashcan. Once I arrived at the airport, I was starving! So, I was forced to indulge in a delicious blueberry scone from Starbucks. I also purchased a tall, iced mocha, since I needed something to wash it down with and I also got about 4 hours of sleep last night. I went to be early, but I just couldn’t fall asleep. I guess I was excited, or maybe I just never go to bed before 2am and my body was so surprised that it didn’t know what to do. Either way, I’m tired. Well, I’m now starting to regret my caffeinated beverage, not to mention the free Pepsi once I got on the plane, since my bladder is alerting me to its overfull state. Dang. Stupid window seat. Two people between me and the restroom. Sigh. The joys of traveling. Back when I decided I was coming home for break, I concocted this brilliant little scheme to surprise my boyfriend. I got my parents in on it, and actually managed to keep it a secret from everyone else, so as not to accidentally spill the beans. Well, almost everyone. I told one friend. I found another Northwest flight arriving in the Twin Cities two hours after my flight actually arrives, and told him I was taking that one. My parents have the same fake flight information, so our stories line up. They are picking me up from the airport when my real flight arrives and then taking me home. Nate is set to arrive at my house not long before my fake flight arrives, so he can accompany my parents to pick me up. And surprise, surprise, I will be there to greet him. I can’t wait to see the look on his face!! Hahaha!! I love being devious, can you tell? Well, I just emptied my bladder in the bathroom. Airplane bathrooms are more than a little terrifying. So cramped, with all those unknown levers and compartments. Who knows what could happen if you pressed the wrong button. Has anyone seen Get Smart? Yup, one could get sucked out into the sky, and I’m pretty sure you need a parachute to survive that, and I forgot mine in my other pair of jeans. Darn. Anyway, that’s all for now. I should return to my book I’m supposed to read for class. Either that or attempt to catch a glimpse of the ground through the miniscule hole in the water droplets on the window. Fun, fun!
