Woo, time for an update....
So Wednesday came and it was finally the day for Dorney Park. Marc and I woke up hella early to hop the train. Then it was on a bus for about two hours till we got to pennsylvania. I just talked to Massiel and Shirley on the bus, and read my book like a dork. Anyway, so finally we get there. I feel as though i must repeatedly stress how much freaking fun that day was. It was definetly the most fun I've had in a loooong time. Me, Massiel, Shirely, Meliza and her mom and another girl who works in the office named Carol all stuck together and hit the rides. First we hit a ride called Hang Time, it was CRAZY, wtf going upside down and being flung around is exhilarating!! then it was on to the Talon, this crazy rollercoaster. Mind you, till this point i was a roller coaster virgin, but we stuck to the line for 45 mins (cept shirley, who wasnt really into the rides)It was scary as hell! I close my eyes for most of it and screamed like satan was chasing me lol But it was so fun! Then we hit other rides, including this ricketly old roller coaster called thunderhawk that i thought was gonna be a piece of cake cuz it looked so slow....hahahaha WRONG! I was scared out of my mind on that thing, it was so creaking, u could hear the wood shaking and it threw me all over the place.....i got what i deserved for thinking it was child's play.
After lunch and another ride we were on to Wild Water Kingdom. FUNNNNN! I was surprised at how quickly i got comfortable walking around in my bathing suit and barefooted. We hit all kinds of slides and stuff, we also went into the wave pool that generates all these waves, it was fun, i tried to relearn how to swim (because its been many many years since ive hit a body of water...) All i can do it front glide really lol totally forgot the breast stroke....ah welllll
So yea, us three girls had a great time together, we were mostly on our own at WWK because the other three didnt have suits so couldnt really go on alot of the rides. So at about 6:10 we headed back for the bus for the ride home, where i was so extremely tired i passed out. I didnt come away unscathed though! I managed to scratch my knee at the bottom of the wave pool, now i have a nice little wound, and i the next day my arms were SORE AS HELL from swimming. But it was worth it, it was fun to the max, totally made up for spending six weeks in class. Now i have these three weeks to relax and sleep late and play tales of symphonia (my extreme addiction....) all day. Yay!
