There was a journey to another world.

Okay. So it's been a few days and a lot has happened since then. 

First, on Saturday, I got the day off because of work having too many people scheduled so it was nice to have the day off and sleep in. It was weird though because I had two days off on Wednesday and Thursday, worked Friday, had Saturday off, worked Sunday, and then had Monday and Tuesday off. It was a weird feeling to work two days in the chunk of 7 days. But either way, I went out to the Premium Outlets with Florida and South Carolina. We walked around the shops and I bought a few things, having fun. Then we went to the Betsey Johnson store. I was in love the moment I walked in the door. There was this beautiful teal and black striped dress with a chunky belt and necklace. It was beautiful and I wanted it so bad!

However, looking on the price tag, I was knocked back to reality when I saw that it was $258 dollars for just the dress. I hesitated and refrained myself. We drove home and I kept thinking of that dress. So while I put some checks in the bank, I called my mom and she told me to go back and at least try it on. I went back and tried it on. It was so wonderful and pretty! Then my day got soooo much better! I found out that it was on sale for $129! My mom had offered to buy me the dress for my "Gotcha" Day so when I told her, she was all for it. I even got a belt, earrings, and a necklace. I was so happy! It was a wonderful day for me.

The day was not so nice for me... I cracked the screen on my iPhone 3GS. I tripped at work and it hit the stone floor. It was terrible. My phone still worked but I felt terrible the rest of the day. Every time I looked at it, I was reminded of my moment of failure. If you added all the time together, I cried at work for like an hour...

But moving on from that sad day... The next day, Florida and I went to Universal Studios! We went to Harry Potter Land and had lots of fun! The waits were only like 5 minutes, if not shorter. We rode the Dueling Dragons twice in a row because there were two different tracks so we rode each one at least one time. Then we moved to the other rides, very excited about the Forbidden Journey ride. It was fantastic. After that, we went through Jurassic Park, Lost Continent (a Greek themed section), and the Marvel section of Islands of Adventure. We had lunch at Captain America's Diner and I actually met Captain America. (No, not Chris Evans. It was just a guy dressed as Captain America. I wish it had been Chris Evans though.) 

Anyway, after that we actually went to the Universal Studios part and we rode the Revenge of the Mummy. It was awesome. We also did a Disaster ride, Jaws ride, and a Men In Black ride. Then we rode the Mummy again cause it was so wonderful! After that, we returned to Islands of Adventure and rode some more rides over again. We rode quite a few rides at least twice. It was a pretty good time. Florida and I also enjoyed a very delicious taste at Butterbeer, which is basically cream soda with whipped cream on top. It's super yummy. 

By the time Florida and I returned home, we were exhausted but the day was a huge success in our opinions.

The next day was a recovery day from the day before. Florida and I both had sore throats because of all the screaming we did on roller coasters at Universal. At the end of the day, I drove to a nearby Best Buy and was able to use an upgrade to replace my busted iPhone for a new, white iPhone 4! I also got a purple Otter box to protect it from harm in the future. However, I'm going to be super careful now because I never want to deal with that ordeal ever again.

And today was no big deal. Just work and then rest around the apartment. Just chilling out and watching Deadliest Warrior with Florida. She's my TV-watching buddy.

But that's my big update for now. I will probably write again in the next few days. See ya!
