So last Monday (the 7th) I was up at 5.44am with the second loudest crack-boom of thunder ever. So now that I'm up with everyone and their mother between here and Muncie... it was a little intense.
And I had nothing to do in the morning, so I got up again at 8.44 to read till 11 :D
Amanda and I got together to workout at about 12.30 - I biked - and then we, along with Kyle and Jake, filled Seth's room with balloons :D That was fun, though I think I got a blister and then skinned the blister from tying so many - it hurt and still does.
After, I mostly chilled in the second floor common room. After a while, we watched Tropic Thunder - it's so horrible it's funny :]
Tuesday I spent the morning reading again - I could get used to this :D
Amanda and I got together to workout again, this time I did my interval workout. Afterwards, we went mini golfing with Seth :] That was super fun, it was an indoor place over in Lafayette.
Seth and I got some pizza and watched the new Three Musketeers movie - the one with Matthew McFayden and Orlando Bloom. It wasn't the best movie ever, but I enjoyed it :] After that, we watched Pirates of the Caribbean and the Curse of the Black Pearl. Two movies in a row with Orlando Bloom = happy Carly :D
Wednesday I pretty much just played Kingdom Hearts. I went to the Columbia Park Zoo with Amanda for a bit, but mostly it was Kingdom Hearts all day. Later on in the afternoon (I did eventually stop, this was after that), Amanda and Eric came over for Seth to look at Amanda's computer. Ashlee (Kyle's girlfriend) was over for the weekend and graduation and all, so once Payton joined us with his extra controllers it turned into a Halo party :] However, I missed most of it since Geoff called and if I had stayed he really wouldn't've been able to hear anything I was saying...
Thursday I really had nothing to do all day - I had orientation for catering at 4 in the afternoon, but that was the start of my day really. So I played Kingdom Hearts and read and packed a bit. Yay, boredom...
Then it was orientation time. We learned the dress code and general layout of the behind the scenes places in the Union. Evidently we're not supposed to have excessive jewelry, and I guess 4 rings might be slightly excessive... Heh. When I got back to the house, we had a house dinner and then I hit the road to drive home!
Friday morning I woke up and I was home! :D It's a pretty sweet feeling.
My parents had work and my brother had school, so I spent some time clearing out my desk and bookshelf (otherwise known as my mini library :D ). I decided to turn on The Princess and the Frog in Spanish - I hadn't seen that movie in a while. My mom was working a shorter day, so partway through I stopped to go to lunch and Kohl's with my madre. For work, I needed to get black pants and shoes, so we got some of those. After, we watched Pride and Prejudice and retied my Purdue fleece blanket that was inside out. We both love Pride and Prejudice, and have been wanting to see the 1995 BBC mini-series version, so I got it and we started watching that together. Ricky had a lacrosse game that evening, so we went to that (they lost :[ ) and after we mostly just chilled and watched TV.
Saturday Ricky had a lacrosse tournament all day - 3 games. They got third place too :D That was fun. We went to church that evening, and had Macaroni Grill for dinner, then I watched some more Pride and Prejudice with my mom :D
Sunday it was Mother's Day! And that meant that we were going to the Sox game! :D I was rather excited, even though mom isn't necessarily fond of baseball... :]
It was supposed to be chilly, but we were in the sun the entire time so it was rather toasty. I got a nice tan on my arms though :D And some sweet rubber band and ring tans...
Unfortunately, the Sox lost :[ At least I got to see AJ play :D He didn't start, but they brought him out in the 8th inning.
After the game we went to Heaven on Seven. Yay Louisiana food! My mom and dad and I really enjoyed it, though my brother seemed to not care quite so much - he had ribs while I had beans and rice :]
My mom and I finished up Pride and Prejudice that evening, yay happy endings! :]
Yesterday I washed my car with my dad in the morning, Buckbeak looks so nice again :D He was slightly overdue...
We went to Costco to get some provisions, then I figured I should probably get my stuff together to drive back to school... So I read some more :]
On the drive, I didn't hit too much traffic once I got around the city - the 355 was insane, but thankfully once that branched off of the highway I took it was pretty smooth.
And I made it back safe, though I had work at 8.30 the next morning so I got my stuff put away and went to sleep.
Today I got up at 6.30 and made sure to leave for the Union early so that I could find my way through the labrynth of tunnels that led to where I needed to meet my trainer. And yes, I did get slightly lost... Heh.
We set everything up, and then mostly just cleared things from the tables since it was a buffett style lunch. And hopefully I'll remember all of what I was taught - I tend not to do so well when I'm just thrown all the information I'll ever have to know for the job in one day...
We finished up at 3, and when I got back to the house, I didn't want to get up once I sat down. However, I had to go to Walgreens and Chase so I managed. And now Seth, Payton and I are watching The Emperor's New Groove :D I love this movie, and that's where my title came from.
Tonight, I'm prob going to sleep well - I was on my feet for 6 hours (we got a half hour break to eat - unfortunately the meal was chicken and beef so I had bread, carrots and spuds). Till then, I'm going to read and relax in the second floor common room - it's got an a/c so it's nice and comfy :]
Peace.
