BPA WEEKEND
Super duper fun.....and ridiculous.
THURSDAY: Left around 9ish? It was in Oak Brook, so not that far. We got rooms quicker than last year, but of course my room was the last one ready...and there was some switcheroos here and there, but it worked out. Lunch'd at Subway [$5 footlong.....$5 flipflop?] Opening session cheesy as usual. My event was a 4:30, so I took a bus to the school, my gawd, it was ridiculous. Like the test has gotten progressively difficult...I was glad I was done, but pretty much nervous the rest of the time. Hmmm, that night, we ate at Houlihan's, Meli and I shared a chicken parmasian, it was DELICIOUS! It was nice out so we walked around the mall. We went to Barnes & Noble, and I bought Legally Blonde 2 for $5 [what a bargain]. Then we found a sex book.........good times. Hung out pretty late in the hotel room, played BS and spoons......stayed up late...."betches" "shrimp" "etc."
FRIDAY: Woke up 9ish? Didn't do much. Went to Sbarro for lunch and spent more time at the mall because the weather was awesome! Bought the sex book as a joke teehee. Chilled some more and then got ready for the banquet dinner. The food was better than last years, especially the dessert: ICE CREAM!!! Runyon ended up yelling at our other table because they were being weird. Everyone tried doing the glass thing from Miss Congeniality....and it works! After the banquet was the dance, but we decided we were too cool to go. We basicaly ordered room service all night....fries, fruit platter, chicken tenders, buffalo wings, chocolate decadence.....yummmm. I showered and packed up a bit at night.
SATURDAY: Woke up 8ish to go to breakfast at the hotel cafe. It was a delicious buffet with french toast, fruit, etc. Got ready for the closing awards, I was pretty much getting super nervous. The awards started at 10:30 and they are long as ever. They announce the top 5-8ish competitors to get a medal and then the top 3 get a plaque. Then they say which places qualify for nationals. Well they announded my name to the stage, said I got 5th place, but never said which places qualified.....so for about an hour I couldn't have any emotion, until one of my friends was sick of telling me to ask Runyon, so she asked herself. And I qualified, which made me soooooooooooooo happy, but pissed because I wasn't top 3 [greedy, yes]. So I get to go to Dallas in MAY! We came home around 1, and I ate lunch and slept till like 8? Ate dinner and slept more.
SUNDAY: Lazy sunday wake up in the late afternoon, etc. Forgot about changing clocks an hour ahead, boo....but HARRY POTTER WEEKEND!! And I forgot bio hw at school, and I didn't do any hw at state....fml. But I did do laundry today, and my mom's been on my case about my room....pah geez mom, I'm going to Nationals!
I filled out a questionnaire asking the worst advice my parents gave me: "Cleaning my room will get you far in life/prepare you for the real world."
