a little venting
i love my roommates, i really do, but i think i live in a different world than them, or at least a different decade. honestly, this arrangement probably would've been pretty cool and even fun about 10 years ago, now it's almost bordering on annoying. really, i don't care who darren criss is kissing. i've only watched 1 episode of glee ever. i just don't watch a lot of tv. also, why is it so difficult to comprehend that i like to be in bed earlyish? really, if i'm not working, i'm usually in bed before 11. i had fun yesterday, but it ended up being more than i had planned. the original plan was for my roommate and i to go to the polynesian, swim in the pool, and watch the fireworks from the beach there. so, at about 2:30pm, we headed out the door to enjoy the day. we started in one pool, then decided to move to the other less-crowded pool. we hung out there for a bit, then decided to dry off and get some dinner. we ended up talking to one of the cast members there who said they had already kicked out 400 people who were not guests. at this point, my roommate started getting a little nervous that we were going to get busted. by the time we were done with dinner, it was just about 8 and since the fireworks were at 9, we decided not to go back into the pool. one of her friends was planning on watching the MK fireworks from the ferry boat landing, then going to Epcot to see the fireworks there at 10, so she decided we would join him and his friend. since we were planning on going to Epcot, we didn't go all the way to MK, we stayed at the TTC so we could hop on the monorail as soon as the show ended. it was pretty cool though, they let us watch the fireworks from on the ferry boat. so, the fireworks end and we get on the monorail and get over to epcot and walk all the way to the world showcase lagoon where someone else we know has a spot. well, the spot was kinda behind a big rock, so you couldn't see the water. we moved over a little and ended up where we had a great view of the water, but there was a tree over us. that made it a little difficult to see the actual fireworks. the 4th of july part of the Epcot fireworks was amazing. after the fireworks, we waited about 15 minutes for the crowd to die down a bit before we decided to leave. the american adventure pavillion was lit up red white and blue, so a few of the people with us decided they wanted to see it closer. that meant going the long way around the lagoon (it's a 1.3 mile walk all the way around). yes, it looked cool, and yes, it was neat to see, however, had i known we were going to be walking that much, i would've brought shoes for walking that much. our original plan was just to go to the polynesian and play in the pools and at the beach, so all i had was flip flops. since i've been down here, my ankles have gotten to the point where they hate me. if i stand or walk too long, my ankles start to hurt, especially on uneven ground. if i knew we were going to go all the way around the world, i would've brought shoes that don't cause me so much pain so fast. by the time we got home, it was almost 1am. i just kinda fell into be bed and went to sleep. i had fun, i really did. it just wasn't what i was expecting for the day and i wish i had been better prepared.
