About Me!

I had some pretty awesome days this week, hence the lack of blog. Let's start with Saturday. I chaperoned a teen trip to Dorney Park and got to go there for free. Dorney Park is basically a cheap-ish version of Six Flags with smaller roller coasters and a homier feel. Sunday, I went to work and then had lunch with a friend. Monday and Tuesday were pretty basic. Wednesday, I went to Six Flags and had an AMAZING time going on a million different roller coasters and screaming my head off.

This is Kingda Ka: 

It's the tallest roller coaster in the world and one of two strata roller coasters in the world. A strata roller coaster has a height or drop that is 400 feet or more and completes a full circuit. The other strata is located in Cedar Point and is called Top Thrill Dragster. I've ridden front row on both. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a thrill seeker. I'd like to go sky diving eventually, but I think that's an adventure to be saved for next summer, as this one is coming to a close.

Yesterday, I went into the city to meet up with one of my best friends. We recently went through a lot in terms of our friendship and in terms of a lot of personal things that don't need to be disclosed on a public blog because they're not all mine to share--but, after spending an entire day with him, I'm happy to say our friendship is really better than it's ever been before. We also spent a bit of time with our two other friends, one of whom graduated last year and who I think I'll really miss. I also went to my last LSAT class. I'm seriously considering taking this test in October and not applying to law school until next year. I think the break will do me some serious good.

I don't know what's in store for today. I know I want to go to Bikram yoga, since I have that unlimited pass. I think I also want to develop a diet plan for myself for the next 2 weeks, since I'm getting this treatment done on my hair which will prevent me from exercising (because of the sweat) for at least 72 hours, which, for me, is a lot. That, combined with move-in day and first week insanity, calls for a more structured plan than the one I have now. Other than that, the day is open!
