Ok so I'm taking creative writing and my first assingment was to write a poem based on a picture. I chose a picture of me dressed as Padme, in the picnic costume from AOTC, and disney's Chewbacca at SW Weekends. I got to be in the parade that day and was given an electronic lightsaber to wave around for effect.
Standing next to Chewbacca,
wearing my costume for the parade,
I am Senator Padme Amidala fo Naboo,
and future mother of Luke and Leia.
Ecstatic to be in the "Legends of the Force" parade,
to finally play my favorite character.
Eagerly handing the giant wookie my autograph book,
adding to my collection of Star Wars character autographs.
I'll always remember the cheering of the crowd that lines the streets,
and with the other actors in character,
interacting with the audience,
for a day I am an honored guest of the Republic.
The music score starts and I walk,
head held high,
smiling to the crowd,
waving my lightsaber high.

Ok, so a few mothes ago I was asked to represent my school at a the International Phi Theta Kappa Convention in Seattle, Wahington here in the US. Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for 2-year colleges. I couldn't pass up such an oppurtunity so I said yes. No sooner had I been inducted in the society, I was elected Vice President as well. I would be going on the trip with the newly inducted and elected Treasurer and our Advisor Proffesor Saduscky.
Last week was the trip. Our flight left at 6:40 a.m. eastern time, meaning that I had to get up at 3 in order to be at the airport by 4. Tampa airport is notorious for security and they go through everything. At this point, we still had not met the proffesor. The time to board the flight came, so we both stood up and asked for proffesor Sadusky. No one responded. Luckily, I had my cell phone ane the number of the Director of Student Activites who ad arranged for us to go.
"Bob, sorry to wake you so early, but the proffesor isn't here."
He told us to go ahead anyway and that he would call the proffesor. When we landed in Memphis, Tennessee for a layover I called him back. The proffesor was supposed to be on his way at the time. When we reached the bagge claim in Seattle I again called to make sure everything was straitened out. We were told to either wait at the airport or take a cab to the hotel. The proffesor had all the money and reservations so we had a decision, eat or pay $35 for a cab. Well, I got a call from the proffesor, he was just getting on the plane and would not get to Seattle to 9 p.m. local time, in other words midnight. (play dramatic music)
I called the school back, they gave us the same answer. So I called the hotel and told them the situation asking if we could get in our rooms, the answer was no since neither of us had a credit card. We were tired and hungry, and there was no way we were staying at the airport. Again I called the school and my mom, luckily Bob's secretaty was able to negotiate us into our rooms after talking to the Dean who had to fax the hotel his credit card. Then there was the problem of getting to the hotel it was too fat to walk and we had limited cash. Lisa was able to find us a shuttle that went directly to the hotel for $10 a person. We finally made it to the hotel at about 1 p.m. local time, or 4 for us.
Then we had to walk to the mall to get food. Lisa said that if we survive this, we should go on The Amazing Race.

I can't believe Valentine's has come and gone. Now it's only two weeks till my 20th birthday! When did I get so old??? I was fishing the other day for the first time and everyone fishing with me was 13, 14, and 16. I felt old. And I'm on my second semester of college. Man time flies. There's sopused to be a dance comming up in April at school, a masque. That should be cool. As for everything else going on, I finally got my own guild up and running.

Ugh! rain, rain, and mroe rain. evil Plus it's realy hot out so I would get in the pool, but the rain makes the water to cold. You just can't win.

Finally I'm home! NO more lamburgers or goat's milk. And I don't want to see any stairs for a while. On the bright side I had fun. Except on the second day when I drank the milk. It made me sick and I threw up all over my white skirt. The girls helped me clean it up at least. The first thing I did when I got home was go to Steak and Shake for a burger and chocalote shake. Normal food yeah.
