Fun Times and Stress...

Yes, I'm VERY sorry for all you people who seem to LOVE hearing about me. But I haven't posted in a while because of the fact that I have been INCREDIBLY busy. Last weekend, I went up to northern Wisconson to stay with my best friend, Dan's grandparents for a time of guns, fireworks, and bonfires. It was awesome. We never did get to shoot anything, but the fireworks were very cool. We also ate every night at this neat local restaraunt called the Covered Wagon. VERY good food. We came home on Tuesday, July 4th to watch the fireworks in Rochester. I went down to Silver Lake with the same people and some of their friends (we sat near the power plant so we were no where near the big fight (though it sounded exciting). Then I went and got "fitted" for my braces which I am having put on either tomorrow or the next day, I can't remember which. Ugh... braces... for a whole YEAR! Well it should be quite the experience. I am having the braces put on to prepare for my jaw surgery which hopefully will take place by next July (May or June if we're lucky!). I could really use some prayers for a safe surgery and that nothing goes wrong. I am excited but VERY nervous about it, I'm FINALLY going to be able to eat a bologna sandwich and GET the bologna!! That'll be a new experience. The day after that, which would put us at July 6th, I went to the midnight showing of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Which was fantastic! Although I think I liked the first one a little better. But it was amazing all the same. The next day, Friday, I went BACK up to Duluth (the grandparent's house in Wisconson was only about a half hour outside of Duluth), to stay with Dan's "aunt." I say "aunt" because she's actually Dan's late mother's best friend since 3rd grade. This aunt, and her husband, are basically the equivalent to the Chafoleous family in Rochester, to give you an idea of their fortune. They own basically half of Duluth. They were super friendly and their house was absolutley amazing. While there, we went on a harbor cruise, on the Vista Cruise Line (owned by this aunt and her husband) It was super fun. We also went shopping around town, including stopping at a head shop by the name of "Electric Fetus" (I got a t-shirt!). We also went to the Aquarium. It was a REALLY nice aquarium, probably one of the best museum-like places I've ever been. AND I touched a sting-ray! =) It was pretty nice weather while we were there. And I had an awesome time overall. We got back yesterday in the early evening. Now that gets us up to today. I started at my English class at RCTC, yuck. It has got to be the most boring and dragged out thing I've ever experienced! It's all stuff I learned back in 3rd grade! Plus it goes from 1:00 to 3:55 so it's a very long class. After class I went out to the parking lot to go home, and I realized my car was dead, I left the headlights on FOR THE FIRST TIME! So that's a pretty good record, THREE years of driving and I have never left the headlights on ONCE. So then mom came to the rescue and jumped the car. Then, to ease my stress of the day, I went to Hollywood Video and rented the game "Fight Night: Round 3" and beat a lot of people up. It was fun. Then, I got bored and came to write up this SUPER AWESOME entry. So read it, chew on it, it's delicious.

Out.
