Life...as told by Shaina

So, as I was reviewing my blog I realized my profile picture is very out of date. I then turned to Facebook to try and find an appropriate picture, but I have no recent ones of just me! I think because I sometimes feel weird taking pictures by myself so I make funny faces to make me feel less funny...but then the picture turns out horrible! So you will just have to suffer with my out of date picture. :) Anyways, we just got back from Washington D.C. today! It was a lot of  fun! I had to keep reminding myself I was in Washington D.C. It was weird, not like I had forgotten that I wasn't home, but it just felt normal in a lot of places. (I'm weird, I know) But it was a whole bunch of fun! I think one of my favorite memories was last night. Lela, Dad, Vanessa, and I (Mom wasn't feeling good so she stayed at the hotel, and tried to work my computer, which is a separate funny story) walked around D.C. and saw the WWII monument, the Washington Monument, the White House (f...

Yes, I am currently in Washington D.C. We drove up today to visit Lela until Tuesday, and to squeeze in as much sight seeing as we can in this small amount of time. We got in today and visited with Lela and our cousin Melanie and went to this little restaurant that was super good! We got pizza and some pretty tasty salads, and then went to the grocery store next door to get some ice cream for dessert! Then we went back to Melanie's house and visited with her and roommate. It was a bunch of fun just visiting and talking about basically everything. Then we embarked on a journey to Lela's place where she is staying (it has an official name, but I don't remember it right now,) and waited for her to pack her things to come stay with us in the hotel for the weekend. I had to wash someone's mug, which kind of made me annoyed since I don't even live there, but it can be my service for the week/day.  Then we braved the confusing streets and came back to the hotel, and here w...

So this was from a very long time ago...I just never finished it. So enjoy its briefness, while I write a new post on whats going on now. :) Well, in case anyone doesn't know...I'm officially a high school graduate! Crazy, right? I don't want to say that I remember freshman year like it was just yesterday, because I don't and it's super cliche, but I remember the first day of school this year! And time flies, seriously it does! And now I have my first job! I'm going to be working at Carowinds, the amusement park here in South Carolina and North Carolina. I will be working on the kids rides, so it should be pretty exciting! (Once I get my uniform fixed, because right now I look ridiculous!) But I had Orientation last Saturday and my training begins tomorrow! So hopefully that will all go well and I'll be able to make some friends! I already know one girl who will be working with me and she's been really nice so, yay for having a friend!
