Prom (late)

Okay so apparently I never uploaded anything for Prom... sorry. 

Okay so Prom was.... a wild ride of emotions. 

                                 

I say this because Prom itself was great.... but my date wasn't. Okay well I had two dates but still. One of my dates was one of my best friends Delilah, my bad date was Christian. 

I usually would feel bad saying that but honestly no, this guy RUINED my senior Prom. 

Okay so my Prom plans started off great. Delilah and I checked into our hotel room Friday afternoon and we were super excited. We had a three bedroom 3 bath SUITE at this beautiful resort that was less then 10 minutes from Disney. My sister and her boyfriend had one room to themselves (they were having a disney weekend) and my mom had her own room. Our room was amazing, we each had our own vanity and the bath was so big! Our view was incredible and honestly I hope I get to stay there again!

So everything was all well and good, we all went to downtown disney that night and we ate dinner and just hung out. Later that night we all went down to the hot tub and chilled. I was having a great time. Delilah and I woke up the next morning and just listened to music and tried to figure out when to start getting ready. 

Around noon we started getting ready. This is when my night started going wrong. My makeup DID NOT turn out how I wanted it so in frustration I took it completely off and started over... twice. Eventually Delilah took over and did my eye makeup for me. My hair was also not listening to me so I was yelling at it. I cannot describe how much hairspray was used between the two of us!!! The floor had a layer of hairspray on it to the point that our feet were sticking to the floor. Eventually I got it to look the way I wanted it to thank goodness.Then I had the worst time putting on my nails, GLUE GOT EVERYWHERE, even in my mouth. Putting on shoes, jewelry and dress went good however. 

So Delilah's family shows up for dinner and to take pictures and all is well and good right? Wrong. My date who was supposed to leave his house at 4 to be at dinner by 5 decided that at 5:30 he was going to text me saying he HADN'T EVEN LEFT YET. He then goes on to tell me how its his rides fault because "blah blah blah blah blah." He tells me all these excuses as to why he is late and is going to completely miss dinner. So I am like whatever fine and continue to have a good time with Delilah. We take pictures by the fountain at the hotel and act like complete goofballs. 

 

 

 I was having a great time, even though my date was stupid and pretty much stood me up. Then we went to the boardwalk to take more pictures. They turned out beautiful!

  

After we took photos just the two of us we decided to meet up with our good friend Lakayla. Only when Lakayla gets out of the car, Christian- who told me was riding with a group of guys- gets out as well. This is when I started to get really mad. I tried to not let it get to me and I smiled for pictures with my girls. 

Then Christian decided that he wanted to join in. 

I was not happy about this. 

Once we got to the dance we went out separate ways (I was not going to hang out with him at this point). Throughout the night a lot happened, drama, fun, many different things. I was trying to help a friend who was having a worse night then me when Christian decided he was more important. This didn't sit well with me. To say the least we didn't speak for the rest of the night and what should be fond memories of my senior prom is instead ones of arguing with him. 

When it came time to leave Delilah, Lakayla and I all went back to the hotel. We ate huge amounts of ice cream and stayed up late acting like idiots. We danced around and sang. We laughed and they tried to make up for what had happened. The next morning we, QUICKLY, got dressed and packed. We checked out of the hotel and instead of going home we went to disney. It was mother's day so we couldn't stay for long but we had a good time doing what we could. We all bought mother's day presents for our moms and then headed home. Overall the weekend was fun when I got to spend it with my friends. I just wish I had said no to going to prom with such an inconsiderate ***hole. 

To say the least the relationship we had at that point is not the same and will never be. 

I'm sure this was way more personal information then you care to know about but still, I wanted to share it. 

Note to future promgoeres: you are going to have twice as much fun going with friends then you ever will with a date. I promise.  

Happy Prom everyone!

Grad Bash....

Well hello everyone I am back. It is the day after Grad Bash and as promised I will share with you the full events that took place.

 

Okay for one I was supposed to leave on the bus at 2 am.... I was headed home by 11. 

Okay so basically what happened was everything was all well and good on the bus, I was having a great time. 

(This is Natasha my bus buddy)

But everything changed with the fire nation attacked... no but really. I was chilling in line with my friends for the Gringots ride, just having a good time, when I started to feel really shitty. 

So it was hot, you know cause we live in Florida, but because there were SO MANY PEOPLE it was like really hot. And of course since we were in a line everyone was packed in close together. To help move this story along let me just tell you that I get claustrophobic.

Imagine being surrounded by people, in a hot room, where you can't move and can't do anything to slow your heart which has started to race like The Flash. So I couldn't breathe, I felt like all the air in the room was gone and my chest was trying as hard as possible to gasp for breathe. Being the 'smart' person I am I decided riding this ride wasn't exactly the best option and got out of line.

I walked into the closest store and looked for a place that was out of the way that I could sit down and try to catch my breathe. This ended up being in a corner by a door that lead to what I assume to be a stock room and behind the check out counter. I asked the woman working if I could sit and she was very helpful. She sat me down got me a cup of water and eventually called her team leaders (basically the manager of the store) and they were all super helpful. Eventually the lightheadedness, blurry vision, inability to catch my breathe, and overall feeling of something is wrong got to a point where sitting wasn't helping anything.

They called the medics and the two men that came took me to the first aid center. They took my blood pressure, then they pricked my finger (3 painful times) to check my blood sugar. They asked me all sorts of questions and told me that my blood pressure and blood sugar was normal. They figured that I probably had a serious anxiety attack (I've had them before) and suggested that I stay there and try to calm down. My chaperone was there with me and they told her that I hadn't eaten anything for over 12 hours and that I needed to eat. So they got me food which in turn made me sick. I was so out of it still after of being in the medic center for 45 minutes finally I decided it wasn't worth me staying if I was going to stay in that room the entire night. I called my mom who I had been texting updates to throughout the night, and asked her to come get me.

It took my mom another 45 minutes to pick me up but finally I was on the way home. I got home and went straight to sleep. So basically my "EPIC GRAD BASH" turned out to be a huge disappointment  and a waste of $80. I'm highly disappointed in my experience but overall I'll live.

So yeah, for lack of a better way to end this

GRAD BASH..... WOOO?

I'm Back

Hello internet.
   So, it has been quite some time since I shared a bit of my life with the world. Well, I'm back.

 As you know I am pretty terrible with keeping this updated but I figured since I only have 27 days left until my last day of school and I graduate in 35, that I might do a short daily update on my countdown to adulthood.  Things have been pretty crazy since I was last on here but I'm not going to try and catch you up on all the details. Instead I'm going to start off with a clean slate.

One thing that I WOULD like to share is that its finals week at Valenica. Ah yes, Valencia, I remember writing a post similar to this one only that time around it was my first semester in college, not I am finishing up. After this semester I only have 3 more classes to go before I graduate from college with my AA. YAY! Some other good news is that I got accepted into Florida Atlantic University. Go OWLS!

I will (hopefully) be transferring to FAU in the fall of 2016 for my first semester as an owl. I have toured the campus and it is beautiful!!! I absolutely cannot wait to go to school at such an incredible school. YOU CAN SEE THE OCEAN FROM THE FOOTBALL FIELD! I also have some friends who won't be too far away so I know I won't be lonely.

In different news, my very last show in high school has come to an end. We went out with a bang in The Little Mermaid. I was lucky enough to get to play one of Ariel's sisters, Arista. It is kind of amazing because I got to end my high school career with my best role yet. Sure it was a rocky start but by opening night it was one of our best shows yet. I truly will miss being "under the sea".












Some exciting senior events are coming up for me. This Friday is Grad Bash, May 7th is prom, Senior Olympics is May 25th, and Graduation is June 2nd. I'm definitely going to give a full detailed report on each event so expect those to be here soon. Well thats about all I have for now.

Book Trailer and Shadow War

Ok so as promised (see? I can keep a promise) I will have a post for my writing/books

First off I want to brag a little about something super cool. I have been talking with HarperCollins and YA Author Lauren Gibaldi and I am going to get to do something very cool for Lauren's new book coming out in June. I will get to play one of the main characters in a trailer for the book. Also, I will be getting to read an advanced copy of the book before it is even released in June. 

(For more information on The Night We Said Yes, check out Lauren's website at http://laurengibaldi.com/ , or at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23287168-the-night-we-said-yes)

Also, I am really excited about the progress I've been making in my own book, if it was printed now it would be about 240 pages. My goal is to have no less than 300 words but I will be willing to not have that if it means I'm just adding random not needed information. I am at a pretty intense part right now and however I decide to take it will either take me straight in to the end of the climax, falling action, and resolution, or it will bring me to a better climax then what I have right now.

Ok so I know this looks all craptastic but this is a fake cover for my book that I made.... 

Ok the next thing I want to talk about it that my friend Jaden (hey girl) has this really awesome book idea and she might just be super cool and let me co-write with her for at least portions. The story line is really interesting and she is a great writer so already its going to be amazing. I'll keep everyone updated on this but as of right now that is all I have on that matter. 

Alright well, have a good rest of your day guys!!! Hope you like this post! 

I KNOW!

I AM SO SORRY! I know I keep coming on and promising more posts but honestly life has just been crazy hectic lately. This post will act as my catch up because I have lots of other topics running around inside my head!

Ok so first off... I'M SORRY!!!!

Next I would like to just slap on that I am about 3/4 through season 5 of my new addiction, Supernatural.

Moving on, one random thing that I would like to share is that over winter break I broke probably my worst habit, that I have had since fifth grade, and that is biting my nails. I know that doesn't sound worthy of sharing on the internet but honestly I am pretty proud of myself. It has taken me a long time to stop, I have always done it when I was scared, nervous, bored, thinking, basically it was used as a form of comfort. Now I found a new way of comforting. Since I have let them grow some I have become addicted to painting them (I cannot believe I am talking about painting my nails rn) I find that when they are painted I'm not tempted to bite, and also I enjoy tapping them. 

OKAYYYY, so, I know I don't really talk about my relationship with the directors but its with good reason...... they hate me. Or well... at least the head honcho/lady in charge/queen bitch, hates me. I'm not exactly sure what I did in the past to piss her off but I can guarantee that up until today she has honest to god hated my guts. I say up until today becauseeeee TARZAN AUDITIONS FOR ENSEMBLE WERE TODAY... YAY!!!!

(continued form above) so basically I was drinking honey and water all day whilst sucking on about 15 honey and lemon cough drops, not to mention I was on vocal rest all day, all because I wanted to be positive that my audition went well. Boy did it pay off! After getting comfortable before the actual auditions I was able to actually sing with confidence and not be worried about how I sounded. I sang loud and my voice actually sounded pretty good. I got a ton of really positive feedback from the two theater directors, the technical director, and the chorus directors. I am actually really happy with how the audition went and I'm proud of myself for not playing it safe this time around.

Okay so since this is kind of long I will try and figure out a way to smoosh all my writing news into its own post tomorrow. ITS SATURDAY AT 12:25 AM!! YAY!!!!

I'm Back/New Books/ Christmas Carol

Hey! So I'm back! I am really excited because I took my last valencia final yesterday so now my first semester in college is over and I only have one more week of high school left before Winter Break. 

So Lately I have read two books- both first in series. The first book I finished was the Maze Runner. Yes I am aware that I am way late on the Maze Runner train, but you see what happened was last year I started reading Maze Runner and then I lost the book and was like "welp guess it wasn't meant to be", than recently I decided to finish it and checked it out from the library. Well I finished the book and I really liked it so I'm on a waiting list to get the second one, YAY! The OTHERRRRR book I read was "Shattered Souls" By: Mary Lindsey. I have to say, I didn't actually know what the book was about when I checked it out, I ran my hand down the fiction isle and counted to thirty than read whatever book is landed on. Well to say the least I was VERY HAPPILY surprised by this book. I am waiting on the Second book in this series as well as Maze Runner. Anyways I was just really happy with these two books and look forwards to finishing reading their series. 

Ok so next I want to talk about the fact that my high school theater class has been working on doing A Christmas Carol! Yay! Ok so before we started the process of rehearsal we watched the muppet movie version-make a note before this I had never seen any version of a christmas carol. After we finished watching the movie the next day we got told who we were all playing, I was extremely lucky to be casted as the Narrator. I love my role because I get to speak directly to the audience be completely omniscient. We are preforming on this upcoming Monday for our principal and then I'm not sure when else. In one scene we have to a dance called the Virginia Reel. (.......) The Virginia Reel is one of the most tiring dances I have ever learned/performed. If you have a chance i urge you to watch this video.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2KI4Vvya-M) 

I ask you to imagine this with a total of 32 people instead of some 10 in this video, and also make it about twice as fast, and add an extra 2 minutes. 

Any how, I hope everyone has been well lately and I apologize for my being absent. Hopefully now that winter break is coming up I will have more time to post! 

Yay for books (Minor Spoilers for TMI, and Lux)

Hey guys so I just recently finished the book suggestion from my friend Andrew (The Red Pyramid). 

The book was thoroughly  entertaining and I was surprised to read at the very end that the story was actually based on on true events/ real beliefs. I enjoyed this tale because it really reminded me of the books that I was reading when I fell in love with the lifestyle. The use of actual hieroglyphs, Egyptian Gods/religion, and actual people was interesting because it really opened up the mind to a new world. 

So after I finished reading the Red Pyramid, I jumped right into reading the Sixth and final book of the Mortal Instruments series- City of Heavenly Fire- and I'm about half way through. I really like it so far, the introduction with Emma and the attack was really gripping and I actually found myself upset that we didn't get to read more about what happened after the portal. As you know I love TMI and I am obviously sad to see the series come to an end, but alas, all good things must come to an end eventually. I can't wait to read more and honestly I'm over here like

Ok so I just want to point out that I have YET to read the FINAL book in my ALL TIME FAVORITE SERIES-Lux by Jennifer L. Armentrout- 100% because I am not prepared for it to be over.  I am in LOVE with the characters and I am not ready to see them be ripped away from me, never to have another new adventure. I feel such a connection with the main character and she really is like a book version of me-apart from being part alien- and I feel like when I read this last book I'll be losing a part of my self. Overall I'm just stalling, eventual;y I will read Opposition-THAT DAY IS NOT TODAY. For now I will continue to treat the series as I see it, my love. (Ps. One day I will marry Daemon, no matter what people say)

Okay well thats all for now! Have a good rest of your week!
