Monday: Headed up to girls camp for the YCL day to enjoy time with my friends from the stake that I don't get to see very often, and to help set up and get things ready for camp. It was a lot of fun! I enjoyed feeling like a YCL again, but found it weird how so many of the girls who also seemed so young are now YCLs. CRAZY stuff!
Tuesday: Left camp around 12:00 and drove to Orlando with my dad. We got to Orlando around 5. Checked into the hotel and ate dinner at Dennys. Relaxed in the hotel that night and watched some random war movie? lol My dad chose it, I just sat on the computer and tried to read Eclipse.
Wednesday: Early morning. Got to UCF by 8:00. Orientation was LONG and almost TOO informative. My head and feet hurt by the end of the day. But it was definitely a productive day. It was nice to walk arounf and get the feel of campus, and too just see where I would be living soon. My new school! and from what I got out of that one day, I have a feeling I am really going to like it a lot!
Thursday: Another early morning. Spent literally all day looking for housing! We found some possible future homes from me, but we didn't settle on one. I think it would be hard to do all of that in one day. Luckily other than housing, we got everything else done that we needed to and I'm really looking forward to august! Around 5, the rest of the family got in to Orlando and we went to Medieval times! It was such an awesome and fun experience! I loved getting to eat delicous food, including a huge chicken leg, a spare rib, a slice of roasted potato, garlic bread, tomato soup and an apple pastry with my hands! That's right, no utensils in that time period. It was sweet! We got to cheer on the red knight, which was perfect since red is my favorite color! The Knights would recieve flowers from the princess after every round they would win and then they would come over to their section of the stadium and throw the flowers into the crowd. There are only a few who know this about me and that is just because they are the ones who have seen how excited I get when people throw things into the crowd at football games or pep rallies, exc. but as excited as I get I never catch what is thrown and it makes me sad. Lame, I know, but that's just the way I have always been. When that knight rode over to our side I seriously got SO excited, especially since I wasn't expecting it. I stood up, waving my arms in the air, pleading for him to throw it to me. I am not sure if he meant to throw it to me or not, but it happened like it was slow motion. He tossed the flower, it slowly spun toward me and landed right in my hands! I jumped for joy and couldn't stop smiling! I enjoyed my moment for about 5 seconds, when I looked over at my mom who pointed at my 8 year old sister who looked very sad to have not gotten a flower. As hard as it was I gave in and handed her the flower. She ended up forgetting it on the table when we left, so I was able to get it back, so that was GOOD! :D We enjoyed hanging around after and taking pictures in the awesome castle! It was a fun family night!
Friday: Early morning again. Checked out of the hotel, and headed over to the other side of town to the temple. I haven't been to a temple since leaving utah and haven't been to temple wedding in forver. It was so relaxing getting to just sit inside. When the wedding was over we stayed around for pictures outside and it was SO hot! My legs were glistening with sweat! It looked like I had jumped into a swimming pool, and Im not exagerating! After the wedding we headed home. The long 6 hour drive went by fairly quickly, and when we got home it didn't feel like the wedding was that morning. Strange, long day! and I was SO exhausted when we got home! It felt good to just lay in bed and relax the rest of the night!
