This is going to be a long entry because I have to update about my past TWO weeks...vacation plus senior trip. St. Kitts was amazing...the island is so pretty and hasn't been overly commercialized yet like the rest of those little places, so its quiet and the beaches aren't icky. All I did was sit on the beach, read, write, and RELAX for once. It was great not to have to worry about anything except getting sunburned. There weren't a lot of kids down there, but St. Kitts has a med school and a vet school, so there were a lot of students that hung around at the cafes in the resort I was at so I mostly hung out with them. None of them realized how old I was until I told them, but they didn't really seem to care... there were a couple of cool guys, and they brought me to this beach party a little ways down from our hotel...I stayed for a little and had a couple of beers (I must add- Carib beer is some excellent stuff) and everyone was cool about it. That was pretty much as exciting as the action got...no random hook ups and no drunken stupors...unlike some other vacations that come to mind. So it was chill. Other than that, we took some tours and went in the "rainforest" and stuff like that... we had this tour guide named Sir Walter who was the shit...because he had what most people there seemed to have--this laidback and genial personality. Especially the rastas... I love them...and they apparently loved me because one told me that he was going to marry me and another tried to coerce me day after day to go smoke a blunt with him on this random hill (which didn't happen only because he was a little strange). I love that place...best vacation I've ever been on.
Had a hard time getting home on Sunday, and actually ended up having to drive home from New York because of the way our flights got screwed up by American, but hey, what can ya do...I'm here, aren't I?
Then came home, left my stuff in my suitcase and got ready for senior trip. Sometime in there Kate and I went to the mall where this hot guy blatantly hit on me and we named a pigeon who belonged to the windshield crack guy--we named him Walter but it will soon be Sir Walter once we see the dude again.
And then senior trip...holy jesus, so much fun. I'm really glad I decided to go last minute because I would've regretted it so much if I hadn't have gone. We got to do pretty much everything in every park that we wanted to do--Epcot of course was the best and Mission Space is now my most favorite ride. Shut up Sarah! I won't bore you with the details of what we did at all the parks. Grad nite was fun but very interesting. We started out with Kate, Sarah, Markie, Erin, Mags, Sara, and I...joined by Candace, Amanda, and Kelly...and that is just one example of how cool everyone was being on the trip with eachother. So we went with them on the teacups and ended up getting in this huge group with like... Bart and Jon and Kari and Alex and all these random people. We all went to the Dumbo ride and ended up losing Sarah, Markie, Barry, and Jake, and so we told the group to wait while Amanda R, Erin and I went to look for them, but then us three just ended up losing everyone and ended up with ryan, brandon, and mike which was ok. Then Ryan had to go meet Angela and we ended up walking around forever by ourselves. It was cool to hang out with Amanda though, because the last time we hung out was like fourth grade. I was separated from my cow for way too long and looking all over and finally at like 230 I found her. But in the end, it was ok...we found Barry and Jake and went on the rollercoaster a bunch o' times.
Other than that, the trip was hilarious because I love my friends and the people that I got to be better friends with.
Highlights:
Blizzard Beach- Lazy River for two hours chasing hot British boys, who thought we were so funny, Sarah: "we look like a retarded star, we only have three points...wait, thats a triangle", and my bathing suit bottoms falling COMPLETELY off when I went to get back on my raft (yea, you know you're sad you missed it, I know).
cockroaches in our room (kate AND i both had the experience of finding them and screaming)
radio disney channel at 130 am....amanda dancing around in her i love brad underwear and mrs. kidder coming to the door
mrs. kidder: show me your.... kelly: boobs? mrs kidder: no thats for later, i was going to say passes
mrs. kidder's blizzard beach ensemble
mrs. kidder in general
the HOT HOT HOT waiter named Luca at the Italian restaurant and me trying to inconspicuously take a picture of him which ended up being totally conspicuous...amanda finally saying, "can we take your picture we're seniors on a trip" and him saying, "with my clothes on?"
the other hot british boys
the fugly boys that thought it would be cool to talk to us and kelly: he is dripping water all over me!
amanda's motherlike tendencies (you can't talk to him! you guys are crazy!)
Yea i dunno, tons of stuff, lots of fun, way better than what I expected. I'll remember to add more later, I'm sure.
