What do you know, I'm 22 now. I'll have to get used to that. I know I have a ton of stuff to write about but I don't want to bore everyone. I talked Kimmay's ear off yesterday. I'm sure she wished I would just stop talking, but thanks for listening Kimmay. I've had a really good week. For the 4th I went to Park Forest to some middle school and just had so much fun with business people. We grilled tons of food. Somehow Bryan was in charge of cooking everything. Oh and I had deer for the first time, it wasn't bad, it was just meat. Played some frisbee with Bryan, and yes I was way better than him at it. The guys played football and then played basketball. The girls played volleyball. My arms hurt and were bruised, but I had fun. 'Played' some soccer later in the day. I say 'played' just for myself. It's kinda hard to run around in Converse and a strapless bra. But I definitely made some good plays. Played air hockey with Bryan, he totally beat me in that. And finally, watched the fireworks while laying on the hood of the Dakota. Thursday I had to go in early and take my math test. It was ok, I mean I don't know how well I did, but I don't think it was anything really tricky. However, it was hard studying for that test. I could not stay focused for anything. After that I drove straight to Bryan's so we could go and meet everyone in Park Forest. Talked to Kim on the way down there, it was nice to talk to her b/c I haven't in a while. But anyways, met everyone and waited for the bus to come. We were supposed to leave at 8:30 but didn't end up leaving until 9:30 b/c we had to wait for the Iowa people. So after that we were on our merry way to SC. Got there eventually, it took way longer than it should have. Now I know not to sit next to a tv and near a speaker esp when you're trying to fall asleep. Went to the Bi-Lo Center for the Friday nite part of the weekend, got back to the hotel where a bunch of us proceeded to order 7 pizzas from Papa John's. And there was like 14 of us in one of the boys rooms, and it was a tiny room, so that made for an interesting time. Went to bed around 2:30 and I woke up at 6:20 to get ready for Saturday's events. People sung Happy Birthday to me while on the bus, it was nice and embarrassing at the same time. After the morning session and we got back to the hotel we walked over to Wendy's for lunch. On the way people were looking at one of those International truck, ya know, like the one Ashton Kutcher drives. Those things are ridiculous and not in a good way. Took a much needed nap after lunch and called my sister and my dad. Went back for the evening session and there were some good stories that night. That nite we did not order anything for 'dinner', just went straight to bed. So then it was Sunday and had I known that that part of the weekend was optional I would not have gone. Not b/c it of the whole optional thing but it turned into a Sunday 'service'. Ok, seriously, it was so freakin weird, I felt like I was at some TV evangelical things. It was seriously fucked up and I was amazed how many people were into it, but I was in the South. But I felt bad about leaving in the middle, so I just stayed there in pain. However, we did leave early so we could get back on the road. I fell asleep on the bus for a little bit. Played Yahtzee for the first time in my life, and I beat 4 guys! I know I was excited. We only made 1 stop the entire trip (it only took 11 1/2 hrs this time), so after that stop we had our bus owl. Everyone on the bus had to go up in the front and talk about what they learned over the weekend, or at least talk about one thing. So Bryan and I ended up being like the 3rd or 4th people/couples to talk. I was so unprepared. I knew what I wanted to say but I was still totally caught off guard. So I related something I learned to matter and antimatter and how the universe was formed, could I be anymore of a dork. But I made my little comments and Bryan chatted away. Got back to Park Forest around 1:30 AM and then drove back to Bryan's where I just changed into my pjs and went to bed. I left when he left for work. I thought traffic would have been worse on the way back to my house but it wasn't bad at all. Napped after I got home, Kimmay came over later in the day and she gave me my gift. I tried to get my dad to give me my gift yesterday, but nooo, I have to wait until Saturday. I feel like I'm being punished by my family b/c I wasn't there on my birthday, get over it people. You'll forget I wasn't there 5 years from now. But anyways, I had a really good time with Bryan this weekend, so that was good. And we talked about how I need to tone down my extreme dislike for someone, which I know I do, but I seriously have used all my fake like already on this person. And it's not like they've done anything to chance either, but I'm going to be the bigger person in this situation. Well I need to go get ready for another day at school, and I know this was long enough.
