Well hello Livejournal, it's (once again) been a while. I seem to be bad at updating, I blame Amat, because apparently fake people's lives are so much more interesting than my own. Then again, that's nothing new. XD
Firstly, JEN~ I have been fail about calling you back, though in my defense I was in Orlando with Mom and Jennie most of the week! But! I may try to call you tonight? :D; <3
Let's see, where to begin... well, there was that whole Dragon*Con thing (I still haven't organized my pictures, you will get them when I do!). Then Mom and Jennie came down this past week, Monday-Friday, though I could only spend Monday-Wednesday with them. So I picked them up Monday night and we hit up Downtown Disney. Tuesday was Universal & Islands of Adventure, yay more Hogsmeade! Oh God, it was so much less crowded. At points the wait time for the Forbidden Journey was ten minutes. It was so nice. And I hadn't realized that over by the little kid roller coaster, they'd built Hagrid's house! That was cool~ It was a very full day, as the parks were only open 9-7 and we park-hopped between IoA and Universal. But we hit up most things, and the Harry Potter ride twice, and it was fun~ Plus there was Bubba Gump's for dinner!
Wednesday was Magic Kingdom, which was gloriously not busy and we walked on to most of the rides with ten minute wait times or less~ (We even managed to hit up Peter Pan with a ten minute wait time, though most of the day it was 35-40, because it's Peter Pan and that's just how that works.) Diana also joined us for the second half of the day and dinner, which was awesome! I had to head back that night, since I had to proctor a test early on Thursday, but Mom and Jennie and Diana went to Epcot on Thursday, which sounded like it was a lot of fun. :D; I got to proctor said test, and print up another test for Friday, and work on the talk I had to give at our annual Reitz Union Meeting on Friday. Which I think went well, and is done, whew! And apparently will get a reprise on Tuesday, since I'm supposed to give a talk at the Undergraduate Astronomy Society.
Friday was also Public Night, so I was out late; Saturday was a whole lot of sitting around doing nothing, then today I ran some errands and picked up Nathan from the airport (on his way back from Paris) and we got dinner, and now I am here at Starbucks catching up on things as seems customary on the weekends.
Also! VENTURE BROS has started up again~ But I have been good and haven't watched them yet. (Nathan was, as previously mentioned, in Paris.) Maybe sometime this week - and there also needs to be catching up on True Blood. I want to see the last few episodes of the season!
