My visit to Sarasota was anticlimactic. I got fed up after the first night and ended up staying with my Aunt, also where my mom and Dad were staying. I hardly saw anyone I had wanted to see except Chrissy and Julia and everything else was sort of a bust. I saw everyone's pictures from all these fun things throughout break and all I could think was how I was missing out, but now I just feel sort of cut out since I dont live there anymore. I always thought of Sarasota as my perma-home, but now after just a few months it feels completely foriegn. No one even reallys eemed to notice that I disappeared Saturday morning so I guess it didn't really matter.
Saturday I shopped with my mom and Aunt and may or may not have secured an internship with NBC this summer in NY (just a dream though I think, it would be nice). That night Ali made dinner for Mark and I at Marks house and it was fantastic. Went to a party with ali and we went back to my aunts. Woke up early to drive to Tampa on Sunday morning. As I drove over the skyway I was reminded of what I love most about Sarasota. I miss the water, perhaps that is why I didn't have that great of a time, I didn't even visit siesta Key or Marina Jack the whole time I was in town, two of my favorite places in the whole wide world.
I went to Tampa for the final Bucs game of the Season. Met up with Robb at his house, drove to the stadium, parked, drove back to his house because he forgot the tickets. This was our second game of the season and we lost both. We left the stadium wondering what it feels like to leave a football game in good spirits. I attended 8 or 9 football games this season and only left one victorious. It becomes a bit depressing but also leaves me very excited for next season. Maybe one of my NFL teams will make it to the playoffs, maybe UCF will win more than 4 games!
abandond my New Years plans in Sarasota and headed back to Orlando instead. I had a good new years there with my brother, his gf, sean and another couple that we know. I spent all day yesterday cleaning my room and it feels nice since I just spent a whole day earlier last week clenaing the living room. Yay for clean homes.
I saw Blood Diamond and despite all of the dying and such, it reaffirmed my strong desire to join the Peace Corp.
I grow weary and don't feel like revising this in any way so...bye
