This weekned was CRAZY busy.
Friday, my Dad wrote me an excuse to get out of History Commended Camp to go to Relay For Life. Debbie's workplace had a booth and she volunteered the family to work the booth for two hours. After that, walked for a while and bought a bunch of stuff.(:
It could've been more fun if April came, but she couldn't because of things on Saturday.
We got home and by the time I had showered and went to bed, it was one in the freaking morning. Which was bad only oooofffff.....
Saturday! I woke up at six AM to go to a Teen Book Conference at Alief High. April came with us, which was why she couldn't go Friday night. It was a school trip, so we had to be at the school by 7:45 to catch the bus. I had brought Violet (my iPod) with me and I just jammed the entire way there.(:
The conference was FANTASTIC.
I was equipped with $45 for books and lunch. Because of our AR points, the school bought a book for each of us. I picked an expensive hardcover book.(;
I picked out two other books, for a current, at-the-momnet total of four. (We got a free book at registration.)
We (me and April stuck together the entire time) went around to different panels and learned a lot about writing and publishing and stuff like that.
I learned early on that one of my sister's favorite authors, Ellen Hopkins, had come and I texted her that she was and got all excited. She told me about the books she didn't have by her and luckily they were on sale, so I got her Identical.
After all the panels, there was a book signing. The most brilliant scheme formed in my head. I would have Ellen both sign and CALL my sister.
The plan worked beauitfully and when I got the phone back from Ellen, Stephanie was in tears from the shock. I got my picture with Ellen and went one to get the rest of my books signed.(:
So now, Steph loves me even more and... Well, just loves me.(:
After I got home, the family and I went out to dinner at some random place in CityCentre. Afterwards, we went to Studio Movie Grill and saw Source Code.
The reason why we didn't eat there was because the earliest showing was all sold out and we went somewhere else for dinner.
After that, I went home and crashed, pooped from only two days of running around like CRAZY.
Sunday, I got up early and went to church. Nothing new there.
After that, I COULD have come home and napped, but I really just layed there for five and a half hours texting... People and solving problems. Or, at least, trying to. Still a work in progress.
And now you see why my weekend was INSANE.
