28.5 hours.

28.5 hours. What's that, you ask? That's how long I'll be in this car.

28.5 hours until we get to enjoy the beaches, the sun, the ocean, the warmth, and everything not-Minnesota and all-Florida . At the moment we're cruising through rural Wisconsin, enjoying the awkwardly tall and skinny and lined up trees, the snow, and the excessive amount of semis. Aside from the semis (I hate hate hate hate hatehatehate semis...they're scary and big and sure to crush little cars like the one I drive), I'll willing to tolerate this for the sake of Florida. After all, waiting makes the reward better, right?

You might ask why we drive. I'll tell you...I have no idea. "My dad is frugal" is probably the best and most commonly used answer. Plane tickets for six, going both ways, are not something we love to pull out of our pockets. So here we are, trucking through Wisconsin on our ridiculously long and avoidable car ride. JUST PASSED WISCONSIN DELLS! We have 25 hours left...hahaha.
I've braced myself for this trip: new iPod playlist entitled "#SB2013," new headphones, new sunglasses, trashy magazines (shut up we all read them), concert choir music (bahaha I'm a nerd and I've accepted it), crayons, coloring books, glowsticks, and books books books books :) And my pillow pet of course. And my awesome amazing favoritest camera ever. Yes I know 'favoritest' is not a word but it's spring break so shut up and go with it.

Yet somehow I'm not amused. Okay wait, let me clarify: I am content with staring out the window. Everyone else (my sisters Lauren and Erica, and Lauren's best friend Eva...my brother stayed home with my grandpa from Arizona) is watching a movie (or driving the rental car hahaha it doesn't drive itself!), and I'm blogging via my phone. I mean, I have options but this is just...better. It satisfies my weird urge to write about nothing and everything :)

Here are some highlights of the trip thus far:
1. I make animal noises. For those of you who know me, you didn't even blink when you read that. And you'd think that being in a car with my family members - who, in theory, know I make weird noises - would be fine. Apparently my spontaneous mooooooooooooooooos and awkward neighs that sound like bahhhhhs surprise them. Come on guys, you know I make weird noises! This is normallllllll. So that's what's up with my animal noises...
2. My sister has repeatedly ditched me. You could say she's a butthead. She's left me in the gas station bathroom twice. Side note: the gas station in Wisconsin had showers. Like...what?! I mean I get it but what?! Anyway...when I don't return it's because my sister ditched me in a gas station bathroom and some secret door opened up and a gang emerged, kidnapped me, and I was never seen again. All because she can't stand there for two minutes.
3. Instagram. I changed my username (don't ask. Just know that when your friends try to add you to the world of social networking - the one that extends beyond Facebook - it's always good to check what username they gave you), followed some more people, googled how to use the actual app, and now I'm pumped to be a part of it. Weeeeeeee!

Here are my goals for spring break:
1. Don't get sun poisoning. I've gotten it six times in the past two years. Can you say VAMPIRE MINNESOTAN GIRL WITH SENSITIVE SKIN? Ugh. I even put sunscreen on - 50 SPF every hour - and still end up with a cute little rash that covers my body and forces me into the condo or under the umbrella for all of break. Ugh. Hahaha first world problems suck :) But I am determined - DETERMINED I TELL YOU - to not get sun poisoning this time around.
2. Not getting sun poisoning is my only goal. Bahahaha...
Oy. The landscape is still the same, it kinda smells like cow poop, and I think I have a crick in my neck from peering at my phone too long, but we're still cruising. Each freaky semi we pass brings us closer to Florida and all the sunshine, warmth, and happiness it holds. It's taking a while but we're getting there!

Time to amuse myself in other ways...maybe I'll go fix my Twitter username haha. I'll probably blog again, even though blogging on my phone is a pain in the ass. HAPPY SPRING BREAK! :)

Quality Writing...bahahaha

I'm currently writing my Part IV for MoPro, and I'm successfully hating every second of it.

I really don't think I can pull much more out of my butt, and that's the truth.

Here's the thing: usually I can ramble on and on in that class until it makes sense. So I figured I could do it again. And what did life decide to say? BAH not this time! Well...thanks for that. This time my paper is freakishly short...so I'm either really concise or I have nothing to say (and no idea what is going on). 

Both are potentially correct answers. But this is a rough draft (rough draft my ass...I think you like to torture us. And yes, I know I'll appreciate this after spring break, but up until then I'm lamenting the fact that MoPro exists) and boy is it rough. Shitty first drafts, yo! And it definitely fits the shitty-first-drafts criteria. None of the sections fit the length requirements - and probably not the content requirements for that matter (insert bitter laugh here) - and I really don't care. Because at least I'm doing it. And I can figure out what I did wrong or just chose to not do...hahahaaaa.

So here I am, staring at my computer, drinking peach tea (yay Snapple!), being confused about boys, dragging my brain along up until spring break, and totally not focusing on MoPro. This point in my life is called keep-going-until-you-get-to-spring-break and God only knows that's all I know how to do at this point.

Time to get back to hell MoPro Part IV hell. 

Good luck with the last three days :)
