   Memory
Hey!!! Ok...so I know I haven't updated in awhile but I've been busy. I haven't even been on myspace which is extremely shocking. But anyways I'm in the work world now!!!!! Last week I went in for a job interview and I got hired...wait for...wait...ok I got hired at BUSCH GARDENS!!!!!!!!! That's like my most favorite place ever. It's the best theme park ever!!!! I'm working at the Tropical Wave gift shop. I start work when I get back from Europe on Thursday the 21st. I'm so excited. I get good benefits too...my starting pay is $7.50 and hour and I get free tickets for my friends and I get in for free at theme parks like Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, Sea World, and places like that. Busch Gardens is home to like thew best roller coasters ever....like Shikra, Kumba, and the Montu.







That would be Shikra. Which is going floorless on June 16th. There's only 4 90 degree drop roller coasters in the entire world. Honestly this roller coaster scares me...yet I still ride it every chance I get lol.

Ok...so I wrote that yesterday but the pictures got all messed up and I just got time to fix them. Is it possible to already be home sick before u leave? Like I'm going with a group but I've never been away from my parents for this long. It's kinda scary going to another country across the ocean alone with out your parents. I got my Debit card to pull me through though. I also got my hair chopped off today so I wouldn't have to mess with it too much over there. It's above my shoulders which wasn't as drastic as in August when I got 10 or more inches taken off. My belief is that if you're single again or are getting a new boyfriend then u have to change your looks. I'm odd like that lol.In August I got my hair all cut off because I ended a long term relationship and started going out with one of my bestest friends ever. Me and him didn't last very long but it was fun while it lasted. Then I got back with the bf before and ever since then we've been on and off but I'm ready to end it for the summer. Anyways I'll write when I get back. Bye!!
