Trip, Day One

Hi! Turtle desu! It’s the day of the trip, you all excited?! I’m so excited I could run away! But I’m not gonna, I’m really looking forward to this trip. I’m gonna be heading to the airport soon, gotta pick up my teacher though. XD I figure that I should start blogging this trip so here we go!



That’s me at mah house, enjoying the nice weather before the stress and freaking out of last minute packing.



Here I am doing the last minute crazy packing, not really, I was done packing on Monday, it was just the stuff I needed to survive before today. Man, it’s gonna be fun wheeling this around.

Okay, everything’s been packed away in the car, the butterflies in my stomach are getting annoying but I can’t wait,



Well, I'm off to the airport, I hope to post something later after I get to MOSCOW! ^^

Small Oddity

I was driving to Cub, questing for more tea. One thing dear lord! 1.5 liters of iced tea, 99 cents at walmart. 1.60 at cub! My god!

Okay, so I was at a stop light, waiting to go through, and a guy across the street was waiting in the left turn lane. So I see him hop out of the car and quick run to his trunk, I thought he was just grabbing a jacket or something like that, but no, he grabs a gas tank and proceeds to top off his tank. He keeps looking at the light, trying to beat it, but of course he doesn't. He starts waving for people to go around him, problem is, there was a huge line of people waiting to turn right or go straight, so they can't go around him. XD I just found it giggle worthy.

2 days til russia! The school expects us to come to school for a half day the day we leave. (Bish please) And then, we get home at some point late on monday, and they expect us back on Tuesday. HA! I'm definitely staying home.

Today was the day I became a man

(kinda, still female though)

Guess what?! I had my first car accident today. At about 10:40-ish at night, pretty good, seeing how I wasn't even in the car. I was parked on the street where I usually do, and some guy (kinda tipsy if you ask me) was backing out of the driveway across the street from me and happened to hit the front of my car. Nothing big but I still found it kinda funny that he came over to tell me and kept talking about how he could've just not told us.

WTF SSP WTF

So I have to drive Mike home today, no big deal. So, I'm at the intersection of 6th and Marie, I'm waiting at the stop sign for a bunch of cars to pass when I spot something shiny, there's a police motorcycle (lights on) and a fire truck (lights off) so Mike and I are trying to see what's happening and this long line of cars goes by with their flashers on, Mike kind of yells at them for not pulling over to let the motorcycle pass. I manage to get behind the last of the cars with the flashers on and mike and I decided to follow them. And we did, we went down to Family Connections and down towards Fleming Field. Mike remembers that there's a cemetery down there and we start laughing because we apparently got caught smack dab in the middle of a funeral prosession. Oops.

So I hooked a u-turn and headed back to mike's place and he did a tuck and roll out of my car, getting covered in snow. . . So I head home. And again, I notice a strange mess of cars up ahead. At the intersection of Southview, the one by Dairy Queen, some guy had apparently tried to make a left turn when he wasn't supposed to or something because there was a police car with his lights on, right behind him. And I need to go straight at this intersection but I really can't because the police car and the guy are blocking two lanes of traffic. I eventually managed to get around him, nobody would let me into the right turn lane so I could go around them. Bastards.

Russia is next week! I'm so excited, I've got most of my packing done, I just need to do my carry on and I'm good. :D

Guess I Should Start Huh?

I figure after having quite a few livejournal accounts, I should start up a blog. 

So who are you and why are you here?

Of course Medvedev was elected as Russian president, a large number of people didn't vote and come on, if Putin was backing him, this was nothing but a coronation. 

Ooo! Two weeks-ish until Russia, I've got a suitcase lying open in my room, I'm just chucking things I might need in there. Man, I can't wait. Then again I'm nervous. Grrrr.
