Tan Time

Well, I spent all day waiting in the Touchdown Club at the stadium last Saturday only to find out I didn’t make the ROAR. I would say that’s probably the worst part. Waiting and waiting only to be shot down. I’m definitely upset that I didn’t make it, but I am almost relieved because now I can travel like I planned over the summer. I decided after graduation I’m going to take the summer off and just go crazy. I’m planning a trip to South America and going to New York for my family vacation that we do every year. I had to miss it last summer because of stupid school, but now I’ll be free as a bird! Another exciting touch to graduation is I don’t have to stress about announcements. Good thing I have a friend at Swoozie’s because she’s gonna make me some hot pink and green announcements that are gonna be way better than the regular ones. Graduating is such a rip off. I don’t think I can say that enough. You pay all that money for a piece of paper, and just before they let you go for good, they get more money out of you with cap and gown orders. I already found someone that is lending me her cap and gown, so I just have to buy a tassel.

Now that summer is almost here I am putting forth all of my effort to get a Vespa. I’m over paying $3.40 a gallon for gas, especially when you can put $2 in a Vespa and scoot around for just as long. I usually ride my bike everywhere in the summer anyway, so gas isn’t that big of a deal, but last summer was scorching. I’ve already planted the idea of how much I want a Vespa in my mom’s head, so hopefully she will find it necessary to get me one for graduation. I’m only gonna ride it around the beach though. There is no way in hell that I would ever ride a scooter in town. I almost hit a biker the other day, and I actually pay attention when I drive. The way people drive in town is ridiculous. The worst is at UNF. It’s gotten a lot better, but oh my god, I use to get so mad driving on campus. People obviously didn’t learn that turning right at a red light is actually allowed. Or that turning left at a green light when no one is there is allowed too. I’m not even gonna get in to the parking situation.

At least the stress will be going elsewhere this week. Spring break is finally here! I just hope the weather is nice all week because I need to tan so bad. I want to plan a trip to South Beach because I found these amazing bathing suits online. They have stores down there so I can try the suits on. I think it’s a good enough excuse to plan a road trip. I really want to go to Las Vegas too, and the Keys. Just plan after plan. No wonder I never have any money. It’s so worth is though to just get away from the drama that is Jax Beach and go play somewhere else.
