SAK Comedy Lab

I just got back from SAK Comedy Lab here in Orlando (I have been about 10 times throughout the semester!) and I thought I would do a little blog about it. I love it. haha... okay, but seriously, it is one of my favorite places to visit here in Orlando! It is an improv show that is similar to "Whose Line is it Anyways?" In fact, Wanye Brady from that show started out at SAK! Cool, right? On Tuesdays, it is only $2 to get in too! (I think it is closer to 15 on weekends). It is great! You go, laugh for like an hour and a half, then go home... back to school work... and nasty tests... *sob* ah! don't remind me!
Anyway, I really love and highly recommend SAK to anyone who happens to be in Orlando! The Tuesday cast isn't always as good as the weekend cast, but that is because they are students. My favorite SAK performer is this guy named Chase... he looks like a younger version of Dwight (from The Office). I call him Dwight Jr. I am not sure if the reason I like him is for his awesome doppelganger status, or his hilarious portrayal of a koala during the first show I saw him in. I was crying from laughing so hard.
Seriously, laughing is supposed to be as good as a 30 minute workout (or something like that), right? So instead, you should just visit SAK every week and get 3x the work done!

Okay, now back to that Spanish paper.... :'(

Some Exciting News

Hey! First off, my Thanksgiving was GREAT! I flew out of Orlando on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I landed in Memphis, TN where my mom's parents picked me up before heading to Senatobia, MS. There, I met up with my parents and brother before the four of us went down to Grenada to see my Dad's mom. Ah! There were so many relatives there! I was there for actual thanksgiving (2 turkeys and a ham= yummmmm). I also got up at 2am the next morning to head BACK to memohis with my uncle and his family for some black friday shopping. I didn't really buy much, though because I would have had to fit it into my carry-on. Thankfully, I witnessed no stampedes or other horrific things that so often occur with Black Friday. I was REALLY cold, though! Well, I mean it was at least in the 40s or something.... give me back my 85 degree November, thank you very much. Anyway, later that day I went back up to Senatobia (my parents and brother had already left to drive home). I had dinner/xmas tree decorating time w/ my grandparents there, my cousin and her boyfriend. I beat them all at phase 10! mwahaha! Saturday, I went to stay with my cousin in Memphis so I would be closer to the airport. We went to her boyfriend's house for dinner and poker.... I beat them all at poker! Mwahahahaha!!! Then I flew home. Thus ends thanksgiving.

I didn't even give you my exciting news yet!.....

I AM MOVING TO SINGAPORE.

My dad is transferring there for work for about 3 years. He is actually moving there in January. My mom and brother are going over there after he graduates in May and I AM GOING WITH THEM! Of course, I am not moving there for the WHOLE time they are... my brother and I will probably be there for the summer and then Fall semester. I  will probably come home after that and go back to UCF or something.... not sure what my brother will end up doing.  I don't really know much about it yet, but I am still excited! Yay for Singapore!

Harry Potter Review and Thanksgiving Plans

So, I got to see HARRY POTTER! Yay!
After work on Friday, there was a movie that had just started and wasn't sold out, so I got to gooooooooooooo! So, my thoughts: still not on my list of favorite movies. I liked the 4th and 5th ones better, but this movie was waaaaaaaaaaaay better than the 6th, for sure! It stuck a lot closer to the book, which was awesome. Unfortunately, since they didn't follow the books closely enough in the previous movies, a lot of characters that hadn't been introduced before, had to be in this movie because they are vital to the plot. In reality, I wish they had waited till after all the books had come out to make the movies.... or at least waited until the 6th or 7th one, because J K Rowling is really awesome and brings back smaller details in previous books that turn out to be a huge deal later. She also uses a lot of the same side characters in a way that you end up knowing all of them pretty well even though they were hardly in the story.
In conclusion, movie= pretty good. Books still = AMAZING!!!!! If you are reading this, and have never read the books, I can't stress enough how much you are missing!

And now for thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait! I am leaving TOMORROW morning to fly to Mississippi until Sunday! I. LOVE. THANKSGIVING.
Family, turkey, desserts, and NO SCHOOL are just four of the things I like about it!

HARRY POTTER!!!!! And Linedancing?

Today is a very important day. THE 7th HARRY POTTER MOVIE IS BEING RELEASED AT MIDNIGHT!!!!!!   XD  I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean seriously, Harry Potter has been such an important part of my life since I was in the third grade! That's a long time, people! AND, it's not over yet! Part 2 will be released over the summer! I have to work the release, so I won't be able to watch it, which is sad :( Actually, I am not sure at all when I am going to get to see it. I am scheduled 10:30-3am tonight, 10:30am-6pm 2morrow, 8:30am-6pm saturday, and 6-10pm sunday. I might have to wait until Monday! *sigh* Did I mention I am excited? I AM EXCITED!
I LOVE HARRY POTTER! 
Of course, 1st, I have to go to my dance class! yeah, that's right.... I am in a dance class :) A 2 credit Country and Western Line Dancing Class. It is pretty awesome. It is every thursday night from 7:30-about 8:45ish. Our teacher calls himself El Capitan and dresses every week in his button down shirt and cowboy boots. He's pretty awesome. What could make this even more awesome, you ask? Well, when we have tests (like tonight) not only are we graded on our knowledge of the dance, but we can also text in votes for other classmates American Idol-style. That's right. Awesome.
I'll go back to my Harry Potter geek-out now........

Going to the Gym

So I was thinking about going to the gym.... but I don't want to. I have recently been trying to go more often, and by that, I of course mean THINKING about going more often. lol I mean, really my plan is always to wake up by 7:30 (ewww), head to the gym, shower, eat then head to my stats class (ewwwww) monday, wednesday and friday. On tuesday, I can delay all that by an hour cause my class starts at 10:30. On thursday, I don't have class till 3, so I plan to  go around 9:30. Sometimes, I even think to myself that I will also go at night for a little bit. Lies. This gym plan almost NEVER turns out. I mean, its sunday now, and the last time I went to the gym was on thursday. To be fair, I know I worked out well since I was still in pain on saturday. haha
I mean, seriously, life just gets in the way. I feel like I don't have time to spend in the gym when I have 3 tests looming the same week. When I have several consecutive days of work, I feel like my schedule has been disrupted and I need more time to rest than for working out. Ugh!
Another thing is eating right. Who has the patience for that? Especially when you're in college? That, or maybe I just don't have the will power. I mean, take Thursday for example. I decide to do my dad's variation of the atkin's diet until thanksgiving (basically just eating no actual bread products) starting on Wednesday. Thursday, I am at a field day (thanks to Veteran's Day) when the group in charge shows up with some boxes of pizza. I'd downed a whole slice and moved on to some fun games till about 30 minutes later when I remembered that pizza crust is, in fact, bread. Silly me. Last night I ate some rice too. *sigh* Oh well, maybe one day I will figure it all out. :) For now, bring on the gym!
