Chapter Twenty-Four: Day Six

Day Six

Today was a little different - Remember my Great Aunt, Aunt, and Uncle we visited on the way to Lake Buena Vista, FL? Well, Mom decided she wanted to visit them again. So, today, Dad and I had some Father-Daughter bonding. 

However, before we could begin our journey into Magic Kingdom again, the hotel asked for our presence to advertise their Time Share program. Of course we weren't interested at all, but they gave us a free gift for going, so we decided to push through. (they gave is free breakfast, too!)

Anyway, Dad and I made it out to the park around noon (our shuttle bus was 40 minutes late picking us up, boooooo), which was just in time for our first ride together: Space Mountain. Completely in the dark, this coaster gives riders the sensation of traveling through space.

After this, we rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Set in Frontierland, this train makes crazy turns and stops in the Arizona inspired scenery.

Our last ride of the day was Splash Mountain. This surprisingly long ride takes the riders in a mild turbulent river featuring old Disney characters from Song of the South, leading riders about 3 stories high to drop the riders down a steep, wet fall. We got pretty wet!

After this, we came back to the hotel and met up with Mom, where we later went out to eat for dinner. 
Dad and I had plenty of fun, and it was nice to meet up in the evening and show Mom all the pictures I took. 
It was, yet again, a great day.

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...
