full stops and exclamation marks: my words stumble before i start

hahahahaha saw this floating around somewhere and thought it was appropriate :]

yes, they do! its called semester at sea!!

so, by the time i finish this post it will only be 21 days until i am sailing away on a ship! and even crazier is that i will be on my way to halifax in only 13 days!!! soooooooo soon!!! i am freaking out! so many plans and details to make and dont even get me started on all the packing i still have to do!

my calendar for the next couple of weeks is awesome.

• got back from visiting nina in chesterfield yesterday evening. went to myrtle beach for the weekend with her family. it was soooo much fun! and i got to see miss liz(ard) too! we had dinner at senior frogs. was hilarious. they made us these balloon hats and then we ended up having to do this ridiculous dance on the top of our chairs followed by a massive conga line... yep. true story. besides that adventure, the beach, hot tubs, and sun rays were calling nina and my names all weekend!
• now im home for a few days, then i head to kyle's home in aiken to visit. ill be there either thursday-saturday or friday-sunday hopefully depending on what kacie (my best friend since 5th grade) plans to do the days she comes home. she is only home for a few days, so i REALLY dont want to miss seeing her before i leave :( if i do, then we wont get to see each other until christmas time most likely. and thats just not acceptable. haha.
• when i get back from kyle's, my family will already be starting to arrive for jamie and steven's graduation from high school (twin siblings). their graduation is June 5th.
• June 7th my mom, grandmother, and i board a plane from charlotte to boston! in boston, we are getting a rental car and from there driving the rest of the way to halifax! we're just going to take our time and see some sights as we drive up and stay at whatever hotel we are near when we decide to crash for the night. should be some good times!
• we're aiming to be into halifax june 12th or 13th, and from there explore that area of canada until june 15th!
• june 15th i board the ship at 9:20am and set sail!

like i said, awesome 21 days ahead of me.
im trying to utilize the maximum amount of time i can see everyone before i leave. its gotten intense trying to make sure i see everyone, but it has probably been my favorite summer ever so far and it can only get better from here. :]

anywho, in general just been trying to get things together! im addicted to facebook semester at sea discussion boards... its official. i have been looking at them allllll night. i helped jamie skip school today and go shopping with me. we felt so rebellious as we walked around super target during school hours. though i guess karma got us in the end: it started DOWNPOURING as we checked out and so we got soaked in just the minute and a half it took to sprint to the car. it was totally worth it though :] got some cute clothes and shoes and other random entertaining stuff. score!

so yep. thats the update!!

:]
