Chapter Twenty-Five: Day Seven

Day Seven

My family was reunited for our last day in Walt Disney's World. We decided to spend our last day in Animal Kingdom, one of the four parks of Disney World. 

The iconic Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom 

This park is basically a giant zoo; there are a bunch of animals like monkeys, macaws, otters, crocodiles, and so on scattered throughout the park. 

Monkey!

Monkeys!

The park also has "Treks" where we can walk a trail and see animals. 

A slumbering Tiger

Sleepy Bats

There was even a room on one of the Treks where exotic birds were freely flying about. This is particularly cool because many birds crossed our path...so close we could almost touch them!

We called these Banana Pigeons, because they were yellow and looked like Pigeons!

Cute little bird who followed us around!

Colorful bird!

Anyway, early in the morning, Dad and I went to go ride Expedition Everest; a high speed adventure through the Himalayan mountains. This was, by far, my favorite coaster. 

Expedition: Everest from afar

After this, we all went on the Kali River Rapids; a wet ride down the Kali River. We got pretty wet! 
Then, last but not least, we experienced the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. This is where we are taken, by jeep, to free roaming habitats of the animals of Africa. This was pretty cool because the animals could be as far or close as they desired. 

Hot Alligators!

Hello, Zebra!

Hello Giraffe!

Hello Elephant!

All in all, our time in Animal Kingdom was great. The majority of the park is shaded because of all the trees...which we all appreciated, because I think we all were a little sunburned. 

The end of the day meant the end of our time at Disney World. It was a wonderful experience, and I am so appreciative of the generosity of my parents. I really had the best time. Despite the over-priced souvenirs and food, I really do love this place. I'll miss it! But for now, farewell!
Thanks for making my graduation so special.

Chapter Thirty-Four: What to Pack for College....Sarah Edition!

Image
Well, this is it. Tomorrow is the day I move into my dorm. The absolute first post in this blog was all about how excited I was to begin my life and see the world in a new and different way. I'm now on the brink of experiencing my dream...and I'm absolutely terrified . I'm actually shaking as I type this. I've read countless blogs and pinterest posts about moving in and they all say the same thing: "You're going to cry. A lot." I've already done a lot of that and I haven't even moved out yet. Ugh. Anyway, I've been packing for college for a good couple of months, and I have kept track of it all. I've done this for a number of reasons: I need to know what I should be returning home with I need to know what I didn't use didn't need after all so I can pack better next time I wanted to compose a list for you There are countless other "What to Pack for College" lists out there, so mine will probably be no differe...

Chapter Three: Luke and the Half-Priced Frappe

Image
Last night, in the midst of my depression over the AP Chemistry test (see Chapter Two: The Whole Story) I get a SnapChat from a good friend of mine, Luke. ZOMG STARBUCKS! For those of you who do not know, Luke and I are both perfect examples of white girls. So, naturally, we love Starbucks. What really got us excited was that, currently (May 1-10, 2014) from 3:00-5:00 pm, all frappes at Starbucks are half-priced! So of course we decided to to go to Starbucks ASAP. (Which meant today)  Now, the only potential problem with this plan was that our school lets out at 4:15 pm, and the traffic after school is TERRIBLE. Especially today, because all those seniors who couldn't have senior out today (we had a messed up schedule due to state testing) wanted to get out of the parking lot as soon as possible. So even after I sprinted to my truck, the line for exiting the parking lot was already huge and crowded.  The normal amount of traffic in the school parking lot. Fea...

Chapter One: When Will My Life Begin?

Image
Usually fun and adventurous stories start off with a heart-pounding, action-packed, swash-buckling  beginning. Not this one though. Because this is the story of little, ordinary me. And, unlike other stories, this isn't the beginning. This is almost the prequel to a story that might not even happen; a path created that leads to a road still being built. Because this is the story of little, ordinary me. This is a story of a college freshman. Well...sort of. I'm not a freshman in college yet . I will be though...very soon. I only have 33 days left until I am out of public high school. Of course, I will miss a lot of aspects of being in high school: my friends, the easy grades, the impressive teachers....but at this point (which I am sure many high school seniors are feeling) I am ready to GET. OUT. I am ready to begin my life .   Here is Rapunzel, from the Disney movie Tangled , painting her image of the world outside of the walls of her tower. This. Is. How. I. Feel. No, my...
