Wow. I am unbelievably disgusting.

Okay, well, first of all, I rose and shone (is that proper english?) at 5:11 AM today so that I could go down to Hunington and watch the Venus eclipse thing for Astronomy Club. It was pretty cool- Rebecca and Caitlin were aparently the only other two motivated enough to get up, but still, we had some bonding time for a while there, and we did get to stare at the sun for a bit. Dr. Leonard got interviewed by one of the news stations- it was cool, as Caitlin and I were standing behind him, making fools of ourselves as usual, and completely unaware that there was any type of filming happening in our general vicinity. Right, anyway, after we got breakfast at this lil coffee shop in Bay, and I got chai, which was REALLY good, but made me dreadfully ill, so I was sick all morning.
Then Finals. Blech.
Then Katie Spi and Sarah Stevens and I did the annual second-last-day-of-school-frolic-worthy tradition. We got to Spis, and rollerbladed up to Alps, and then switched out of our roller blades and decided to go to the lake. It was TRES TRES gorgeous. The water was clear, first of all, which was an amazing change. It was even sort of sea-green/blus sparkly, and you could see right to the bottom, even out on the pier, and it rocked. We decided it was swim-worthy, and so henceforth jumped in. (We took our skirts off first, fear not) We froliced for a bit (my shirt was annoying me, it was so heavy and all big and such) and then saw these guys floating on a log, so we stole it from them when they left and utilised it for our own pleasure. It was splediferously amazing- the three of us sat on it and steered along the beach, trying to avoid rolling off. Then two held it still while the third one of us climbed on it and jumped- it was amazing.
After a while, both sarah and I were being real annoyed by our shirts, and since no one was around on our little portion of the shore (it was kind of by itself, as it is partitioned by the boat dock) we took off our shirts and swam in our bras. While doing this, these stupid little blonde morons come over, and look at us all indignantly, like we're fags (but really we just wanted even sun-coverage, and Katie had a cami on so she couldn;t take that off) and leave, glaring at us. We laughed at them. Ha! Ha!
Afte some swimming and jumping off the pier, we crawled onto said pier and laid out in the sunshine for a bit, though it was being a bit of a bully about coming out of the clouds. However, I am a tad burnt in places, and browner in others.
After returning to Spi's house, we made chocolate sodas (well, spi did- sarah and I just enviously at them ,waiting for them) and then went on to Dairy Queen and got MORE ice cream. It was amazing. I'm still kinda thirsty.
Well, I just got home now, and I'm grody (sarah's word that is stuck in my head) and exhausted, so I have to return kate's bike to her, which I borrowed yesterday, (I think I've said that) and then progress to sleep. I'm a bit depressed, for I wish to hop on Winston and proceed to the library to get some summer reading things to enjoy. Oh, well.
