I found something to do!

Friday night I went to Christa and Winnie's place and we had dinner and watched Terms of Endearment. It was actually kind of a bad movie, but it was fun to hang out with them. Christa is a dancer, so we went to Hollywood Studios on Saturday to watch the national high school dance competition in the Indiana Jones Theater. It was really awesome. One of the groups danced to a hip-hop version of the Phantom of the Opera and they all dressed up like the Phantom with the masks and everything. Another group took an 80s approach and did a Michael-Jackson-meets-hip-hop number (they were all hip-hop dance groups, by the way). We also watched the Muppets 3-D show, then hopped on a bus to Magic Kingdom to ride Space Mountain and Haunted Mansion. Both were superfun, of course. I love Space Mountain. It was fun hanging out with them, but I had to leave kind of early so that I could meet Patrick for dinner.

Patrick is a close friend of Travis McReynolds, whose family has been friends with my family for as long as I can remember. I met him during the weekend of Travis and Stacy's wedding, and saw him again at the McReynolds family Christmas (or was it New Year's?) party a few years ago. He was visiting his parents this weekend. They live in Eustis now, which is apparently not far from Orlando, so we met at a Thai restaurant in Orlando. We talked and ate... the food was good, but the service was kind of slow even though everyone was rather accomodating. He seems like a nice kid. I guess I might see him again in a few months if he decides to stay with his parents.

I slept in super late today (again, because I had nothing to do). I'll do laundry and go grocery shopping tomorrow while everyone is at work.

I'm really looking forward to next weekend because I'm going back to Athens for a few days. Hopefully I'll get to see some of my friends again and I'll finally go on an official tour of the UGA vet school. Maybe I'll bring Charlotte back with me.

Next week, I have one day of research, two days of training, and one day on my own. These food prep stations take a long time to complete.

Still waiting to hear from ISU.
