Catching Up pt. 2

Sooo we meet again faithful readers! This time for Catching Up pt. 2, which is going to be different than pt. 1, seeing as it is pt. 2......obviously......OK let me just get to the point. When I last left you I was talking about my weekend at Spring Camp Out, so this time I will talk to you about the last couple of days. Starting with.......

Today was actually pretty boring for the most part. That is until the sun went down, cause everything gets hotter when the sun goes down (mwahaha). But really, I just went to a late night Central activity. This time the Student Activities board put on a comedy night featuring two different comedians, a lip sync battle, and rock and roll BINGO. The comedians were pretty funny, if not a little crude for my taste; their names were Travis Nelson (Northwest Comedy Competition Finalist) and Adam Norwest (CMT's Next Big Comic of 2012). Once the comedians finished their acts we headed downstairs for free pizza and more fun stuff. First up was the lip sync battle hosted by 88.1 The 'Burg, duos could sign up for a song and then compete against other teams. The team I was on didn't make it past the first round but we had fun.

This was a very exciting Saturday actually, very much unlike my usual Saturday which consists of sleeping in and doing nothing. Because to my excitement it was Free Comic Book Day at Central City Comics! Now for those of you who are not comic book connoisseurs (you can leave)(just kidding)(or am I???), Free Comic Book Day is an apparently national day where comic book stores can open their doors and hand out free and discounted comic books to the public (warning: this is to the store's discretion, not every comic book store participates, which is sad). I picked up four of the free comics (Captain Canuck, Lady Justice, Dr. Who,, and Dark Circle), and 10 of the dollar comics (six Green Arrow, two Gotham City Sirens, and two X-Men) (thanks Auntie Jazmyne for loaning me some money so I could get more comics!). After making my selection I headed out into town where the farmers market was going on, I took a look around and then headed back to my room so that I could get ready for the opera that night. It was such a gorgeous day that I even got to go outside and read one of my books (The Circle Series (the review will be done once I finish the series)) (I even got to finish the second book!). Then I got all dressed up and headed to the music building to see Le Nozze de Figaro (The Marriage of Firgaro), it was my first time going to an opera and several of my friends from XA were in the show so I had a blast. It was so funny and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves opera or just musical theatre in general. Once the curtains closed (metaphorically there weren't actually any curtains) I drove home with some of my friends and spent the rest of the night watching movies and playing Minecraft (yes I know I am a nerd).

Well this Sunday was really boring actually. I woke up to go to church but I was unable to get a ride over there so I just stayed home. I spent most of the day watching random TV shows and doing lots of homework. By the end of the day I was ready to sleep and recharge my batteries for my class in the morning.

May 4, 2015:
Woohoo! I got a visit today! This visit and subsequent dinner was provided by my grandparents who were camping in the area for the weekend. But first classes..... I had my communications class, my french class, and that was it because my theatre class was canceled. I was however, supposed to meet up with my theatre midterm group to practice for our mime assignment, except everybody was too busy to meet up so I went back home to play more Minecraft. My grandma texted me and told me that they were in the area, so they picked me up and we headed out to dinner. I wanted to go to Sugar Thai (one of the restaurants downtown) but it was closed (which was weird because Google said that they were open), so instead we went to a Mexican place called Fiesta En Jalisco (review will be posted) which was super yummy (that was my Cinco de Mayo). My grandparents also brought me cheese (which was a little odd to get a random wedge of cheese) from a winery in Chelan. Then they dropped me off and I headed back home for the night.

That was my whole exciting weekend, now everyone knows what I have been doing. And make sure to stay tuned for any further catching up posts about my life here at CWoo.

Ramey Road Trip Day 6: First Family Visit

Image
Today was another day of just driving goodness. There were no side stops planned since we were trying to get to where we were staying for the night so the Rameys could spend some time with their relatives. So mostly we drove….. Jared and I watched a lot of Game of Thrones (we are currently in the middle of season five) and made pit stops every once in a while. The main highlight of the trip was that we crossed the Missouri River. That was pretty neat, there was a rest stop on the other side of the river that had a small Lewis and Clarke museum and an overlook where you could go and see the bridges across the river. Then guess what happened next?? More driving…… We drove for a couple of hours more until we got to the next cool thing. This time we were crossing the Mississippi River! We went to another rest area for lunch and hiked down a trail to the lookout spot where you could see part of the river. After lunch it was back to driving. We drove and drove and drove unti...

Ramey Road Trip Day 24-25: The Long Trip Home

Good morning everyone! Here is another two-for-one special! Remember the flat tire incident from the other day? Well yesterday we had to go get it taken care of. Mama Ramey woke Jared and I up so that we could move and they could drive to the local Les Schwab to get it fixed up. While the mechanics were working on the car all of the kids slept and the parents went to Denny's to get some breakfast. With breakfast consumed and tires fixed, we set back out on the road. The whole day was pretty much spent driving with very few pit stops. Though we did stop at a bridge where Evil Kenevil did one of his stunts and watched some people base jump. Then we just drove until we got to our campground which was in Oregon this time. Once we got there Jared, CC, and I went swimming for a bit before we all got out to go and eat dinner. Then Jared and I went to the arcade to play some games (there were some really old games) until it closed and we went back to sit around the fire. We both hung o...

Ramey Road Trip Day 21: Desert Days

Image
Today started very early for some reason. Mama Ramey wanted to get up and go right away so she got us up out of our bed and had us move to the big bed so that they could start driving. We didn't officially wake up until like 9:30.  So we pretty much drove a lot today. We had two scheduled stops but that was it. The first was to Four Corners. For those who don't know, Four Corners is basically a place where you can stand in four states at once: Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. So we stopped for a bit and took our pictures, there were also a bunch of vendors set up around the patio area selling different wares so we looked around for a bit. Then we headed back to the RV so we could eat lunch, everybody except Austin and I had Indian tacos which are tacos on top of fry bread. I had a chicken salad sandwich and I am pretty sure Austin just had chips.  Then we set off so we could get to our next stop. This time we were going to a place called Mesa Verde National Park...
