Ok Friday. I went to Anderson! I love it there! I'm so excited about going to school next semester! I had an audition for a Music Scholarship. I think I did pretty well. I don't know if anything is going to come out of it, but I did my very best and that is what I intended on doing when I went in there. Then... I got to hang out with my best friend! I'm super excited about living with her next year!! Brittany, Mom, Patti, Matt, and myself then went around to each dorm so we could decide where we want to live. Then (fanfare music goes here...) We went to RITA'S! It was amazing and is going to make me incredibly obese next year. After Mom and Patti went home, We went to eat dinner at Chili's and then went back and watched The Lion King! :) Then the next morning Brittany and myself went to eat breakfast then I headed to Spartanburg!
Once I got to Spartanburg, Paul and I went to eat lunch at Thai Taste. It was really good. Then once we finished, we went to the movies. We saw Taken and it was really good. Anyone who is traveling to a foreign country should see it. Take lessons from these dumb girls. Like sharing cabs with stranger boys. Failure.
Then after that I sent Paul on a Scavenger Hunt! It was really cute and really dorky but it was fun. :) Once the Scavenger Hunt was over, we played the Wii! We bowled and I lost by one point. :( Boo. Then it was time for Katie to return home. This is where the real adventure starts...
So I decided to go home via Interstate 85. Now I normally drive home on Number 9. Now ` I had ridden this way numerous times but I have never driven it myself. So I start clicking it along 85. The ride is going pretty well, lots of rain but nothing major. So I start to approach the 485 exits. One way goes back to my house and the other goes in the other direction. So I see one sign pointing to Columbia, then I see one pointing to Pineville/Statesville. I thought that was sort of odd but I figured it was right. Then the second signs I saw which were displayed right at the exits said to Columbia or to Charlotte/Statesville. Yet again I figured going towards Charlotte is weird but that's the way I got off. Once I started down 485 in this direction, nothing really looked familiar and started seeing all kinds of signs for Mount Holly and all these places north of Charlotte. I started thinking... "hmm is this the right way???" So I called my dear Padre and he told me that I was going in the wrong direction so I needed to get on 77 and head back the other way since I was right near it. Well if you know how far up 77 is, you know that I was almost in uptown Charlotte. Howdy Doody. I was like great, it's a monsoon, dark, and I was going the wrong way. So I finally hop on 77 and it's pouring and you can't see the signs until you are almost right up on them. So once I passed all of the city of Charlotte, I am approaching my exit to Pineville. Well due to the monsoon, I missed the exit. Katie Fail. So I keep going down 77 and go through Rock Hill. Then, I'm finally back in Lancaster and I get to the stop light where Bojangles and the Texaco station is. I am in the right hand lane at the traffic light so I need to get over one lane to get on the bypass. So I just hop on over and start heading on the ramp. Well all of a sudden this car comes FLYING up behind me and rides my batonkous the entire ramp. Now it is not safe to do that in the sunny clear weather, much less when it is a monsoon, dark, and dreary. So I look in my review mirror, and I see that it is a policeman. I was like "why is this cop following me?" Then all of a sudden his little nice blue lights appear. I was like geez. So it's POURING rain and all of a sudden this nice little cop man knocks on my window making my car nasty and wet. He says "I bet you have no clue why I pulled you over." Ok if a policeman has to say that... why in the tunket are you pulling the person over? I mean seriously. So I said, "No sir. I do not." He was like "well first of all you have a headlight out. Then you changed lanes of traffic without using a signal." Seriously man? Come on. Soooo he looks at my license and all that jazz and goes back to his little car. Then comes back and gives me a warning (fortunately). But still. Ugh. Driving Experience Failure.
So my hour and a half trip from Spartanburg took me approximately 2 and half hours.
But I made it to Jessica's birthday party!
Then today, Sara Ashley and I took Tomoya to the movies. Tomoya is a Japanese foreign exchange student staying with a family in our church. We went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was FABULOUS. One of the best movies I have ever seen. Very unique and VERY well down. It had lots of substance and was not full of stupid crap like unnecessary cursing, sexual scenes, or crude humor. It was great.
Now! It is snowing! No class tomorrow! Hope the ground will be fluffy and white in the morning!
xoxo
Katie
