Lemons make your teeth feel funny 4-14-13

Sometimes life gives you lemons and you make lemonade and sometimes when life gives you lemons you just have to take them even though they make your teeth feel funny. Turns out I did that this spring break. Granted I'm homeschooled and stuff but when you have half of your family on a traditional schedule you must pay attention to what mainstream wants... But back to what I was saying before I go off on a tangent about following mainstream society. It turns out that stomach and head ache can really start cramping your style for just relaxing with your family at the beach when you are stuck lying on a couch curled into a little ball spewing incoherent words. Though the entire week was not a bust at all.

At the beginnong of the week I got to go up to St. Petersburg, FL to visit Eckerd College and have an interviw. Funnily enough when we walked into the admissions building, my sister saw that there was another person who was visiting from Georgia - Decatur in fact. It turned out that I actually knew the person visiting.. Dylan Byers, from my local homeschool group that I have been in ever since I can remember! I found out later that he had rescheduled, but it's funny how small of a world it can be. The place is gorgeous right on the beach and equipped with some fantastic buildings and opportunities. In addition, I really liked the interview... the first question being, "So whatcha been reading?" Should I go on about how I think this is a fantastic question and how we had a great conversation about Ishmael, Harry Potter, and so many other great things?? Such a great conversation. No to mention talking about the pain April, the admissions counselor, had to suffer from her sunburn that was in the form of a book on her thighs and her immense respect for the qualities of a Syltherin. Due to talking forever together, I managed to completely screw up the entire rest of the day that they had planned for me making everything thing happen all at once! Chaos reigns once more and my day was made despite the pounding in my head.
