Busch Gardens!

I forgot to put in my last post that Amanda and I got year passes to Busch Gardens. We went yesterday and it was a blast. There was NO line for any roller coaster so we got to go on all of them and see a bunch of animals within 3 hrs. I kept saying that I wanted to see the flamingos all day, and I definitely got to see a bunch. We also went on a safari type ride thing and saw a pretty awesome rhino and zebras up close. Sheikra was terrifying yet again. As we sit down and buckle up, the guy comes by and checks my belt really quickly. Amanda and I are freaking out and I yell to the guy "Will you double check mine?" and he did, just to please me. Once the ride took off me and Amanda were just saying omg omg omg over and over again and I definitely prayed really really hard. And obviously we survived. It was fun after the first drop and all the screaming. Next time we are going to feed the kangaroos! lol :)

Tampa Life so far.

I haven't wrote in a long time, but I just haven't been in the writing mood I guess. I started reading through my old posts today and I kind of miss keeping a sort of internet diary. So I guess I'll try to do a little update again....Hmmm well I finished my Associates Degree at South Florida Community College and then moved with my best friend Amanda to Tampa to attend USF. We live together in a 4 bedroom apartment with two other roommates. School is great so far. I am a Theatre Arts Major and love the people I hang out with everyday. This semester I'm taking Script Analysis, Intro to Tech Theatre, Life After Death and Voice,Body,Improvisation. I met some friends Crystal, Faith,and Galloway at orientation and now we have almost every class together and we hang out alot. Intro to Tech Theatre is a blast. The first day in lab, or The Shop, our professor Mike taught Crystal how to swing dance. Three rules Mike has: Number one: Don't do anything to get me fired, Number two: no showtunes. Number three: The shop must be danceable by 5 o clock. Yeah, he's a pretty cool guy. He also wears a different colored bandana around his 80's styled hair everyday. VBI is also a really amazing class. Our professor is Rosemary and everyday we get in a circle and do warmup activities and then very bizarre assignments. We all had to share a personal story the first couple days and it got serious very quickly. Its kind of cool to learn something deep about someone before you really know them, it kind of breaks them down and makes them vulnerable and more willing to open up and be your friend. I shared my story about my old best friend. I teared up a little, but I didn't cry. Which is a big step for me. I still miss him like crazy, but I have got to move on with my life. In a way, I think things happened the way they did so that I could have this opportunity to study something I love and get out of Sebring. Another assignment we had was to do a sound and movement piece with the sounds of our names. It was very challenging for me, but others did very well. Script Analysis is a fun class too. Our professor Kerry is such an inspirational kind of guy. He has been ALL over the world and his a very cultured person. On our first day of class I was so caught up in his words. He told us all to go to the flea market one day and just sit there and people watch, or go to an art gallery, or see lots of live theatre, or take a martial arts class. To do everything we possibly could to make ourselves cultured as well. I thought it was very moving in a way. I transferred my job at Chili's, and now work at the one located on Fowler. So does Amanda. Its been pretty good so far. Lots of hours and pretty decent money. I miss the managers from Sebring, but I also like the managers here so far. The Tampa party life has been kind of chill so far, but that's ok. We went to a Neon party at the Amp recently. It was a lot of fun, a lot of glowsticks were thrown at us and there was some very cute guys as well ;) Well that's it for now. I need to stop writing and start reading and doing homework! If you are reading this then you must be very bored and even more bored with this post....sorry to both.

Until next time,

Heather
