Last Days In Disney!

 Well I spent my last few days in Disney just enjoying being there and being with my family<3 Awww I know so cute.  But now I get to pack for two months without them!  I mean there's only so much family time I can handle, but two months really is a long time.  Dare I say... I'm going to miss them!
My resort had a pool with a lazy river AND a sand bottom pool so basically I was in heaven and spent a whole day laying there until typical to Florida it started to rain around 3 in the afternoon.  But I got a great tan and shared a daiquiri or two with my mother.  The first drink the waitress brought was definitely virgin... she didn't check my ID and I wrongly assumed that was because I looked 21. I made sure she checked the next time which was slightly awkward. 
 
 So my last morning in Florida after being here for a whole month I spent in Magic Kingdom with the fam.  And I'm so glad I did because we got to explore the new parts of Fantasyland!  And we actually got to eat in the new Beast's castle.  It was so gorgeous inside and really made you feel like you were in a real castle!  We only got to get lunch because dinner reservations are booked for the next 8-10 months...  But lunch was really good! In preparation for France I got a "croque monsieur", which is basically a grilled cheese with ham.  And if you looked out the fake windows in the ballroom of the castle, Disney actually found a way to make it look like it was snowing outside in July. 

And also the new Little Mermaid ride is soooo technologically advanced compared to most of the other "ride through" rides such as Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh it was actually amazing.  The animatronic characters actually looked real and it felt as if you were underwater.  Plus the building the ride is in looks exactly like the castle from the movie! Disney really outdid itself.  Now they just need to add a Hercules ride, a Mulan ride and a Pocahontas ride and I will be satisfied :)
So basically I am now obsessed with castles which is perfect seeing as how my next stop for the summer is Europe!! Now I get to go pack... which is going to be extremely difficult seeing as how my shoes alone are going to put me over the weight limit.  But oh well I have a whopping 24 hours to pack and figure it all out.  Wish me luck! xoxo

Rainy Days

Well it has been raining for the past few days here in Florida.  And when it rains it really pours!  The pool is even overflowing.  The good news is that I have been able to avoid the sun so my sunburn could heal but the bad news is that it is getting increasingly hard to study in this gloom. 
To give myself a little inspiration to study I have recently picked up a new addiction and it comes in form of the TV show Scandal.  I normally stay away from shows that are about lawyers because I don't want to give myself unrealistic expectations.  But I watched one episode of Scandal and was immediately hooked!  I watched all of season 1 on Instant Netflix and then got the free week of HuluPlus to watch season 2.  I justify this as my study break instead of being in the pool so it all balances out in the end!
If I can be like Olivia Pope one day then I will definitely make sure to do well on the LSAT hahah maybe this is why I don't watch shows about lawyers...  Oh well I am almost finished with my first LSAT book then I am going to take some practice LSATs.  Its coming up quickly though! I just want to be able to say I did all I could and feel confident about that when I take the actual test.

Adventure Number 1!

Today is my first full day in stop number 1 on my Summer Adventure List... West Palm Beach, Florida!  I finally reached my destination after what turned into the flight from hell.  The normally quick flight down to Florida turned into a 6 hour affair, including waiting on the plane for an extra 2 hours with screaming children due to some bad weather.  I have a slight fear of flying so my anxiety and stress level was through the roof. But now I am here and that is all that matters!  I am living at my aunt and uncle's house for about a month, enjoying the warm weather and sunshine, laying by the pool, and studying for the upcoming June 10th LSAT.
It is currently around 90 degrees here, and according to the Weather Channel app on my iPhone, that is around 50 degrees warmer than home, Rochester Hills, Michigan! So glad that I am here :)  My aunt and uncle keep asking me if I am going to get too warm being out in the sun all day... Not a chance!
