The Boston Saga and a few other things

First off, we had our last day of Honey I Shrunk the Audience on Sunday and it was way fun!! I got to close photocell (where people come into the theater) and then I got to go in and watch the last show. Then I went to Davey Jones and that was a super fun concert!! then a cast party and Iron Man!! how I love that show!! Then on Monday Louisa asked if I wanted to go to Boston. WE had $10 flights it was super awesome!! So we decided to go. Then Monday night I was Iron Man 2 with Margaret and Keith and it was super awesome!! I love that show!! I got home at about 1 and had to leave at 3:30 so I didnt even go to sleep...

just stayed awake got to the airport, got on the plane which left at 6:30. Could I sleep on the plane?? no. stayed awake. We got to Boston at like 9:30 and figured out the bus/subway system and found our hostel. I had never stayed at one before so it was very interesting but it was pretty nice. Louisa said it was nice for a hostel so that's what I'm going with lol. Then we walked to Boston Common and got on the Trolley!! We went all around Boston, to Fenway park past Copley Place to MIT and then to Harvard!!
We ate at Harvard and bought "Oh the Places You'll Go" in the bookstore. I have officially bought a book at Harvard. I feel cool. Then we went on the Freedom trail which took us around more of Boston and we gotta see some pretty cool historic sites. By then we were exhausted so we walked back Berkely and hit up Newbury Street...didn't buy anything of course. We were really hungry but there's pretty much only pricey resturaunts on Berkely so we just stopped at the coolest 7-11 you'll ever see that was right across the Hostel. We were in our room by 6:30 and asleep by 7. Then we woke up at midnight cuz Louisa fell out of bed. It was super funny. And then went back to sleep and got up at 8. We were in Boston for like 36 hours and we slept for 12 lol. So we went back on the Trolley Tour and got off at at Copley Place. This has lots of stores like Tiffany's...where I ate breakfast!! I needed to buy new jeans but jeans cost like $100 and i didnt wanna spend that much money on a pair of jeans.
So i bought a new outfit!! It's so cute!! and it cost less than the jeans!! Then we went back past Fenway park, it was game day, the game was starting in 15 minutes and I couldn't go!! it was sad :-( Next, we went on the Boston Harbor Cruise it was 45 minutes and we saw some way cool things there. Then it was back to the airport. We got on the plane at 5:55 the plane was meant to live at 6:25 but sadly it got delayed thanks to weather down in D.C. area so we finally got rerouted and left at about 7:30ish and finally we got home. Margaret was nice enough to come pick us up at the airport and after a quick stop at Dairy Queen for Blizzards and then home. It was a super whirlwind trip but it was super duper fun. Then today I went to walmart...yuck. and then to Cirque du Soleil it was so amazing. Worth every penny. Now im chillin at home blogging. Tomorrow I'm doing an audience control shift for the Chubby Checker concert and Saturday back to my real job. I have had lots of fun but it'll be good to go back. Well, thats pretty much my life right now. luvya!!

Updating My Blog

So apparently I need to update my blog. Megan pretty much yelled at me for not updating it last night lol. So this is my update...The only problem with updating it is... not a whole lot has happened so I don't really have much to update...so I'll post pictures instead!! :-D

This is the Imagination Institue where I work! Back in the day there were some really awesome things to do inside the pyramids but due to ADA regulations, the upstairs is now closed and we have the Kodak ImageWorks downstairs instead. And it is not nearly as cool as what used to be upstairs. These pyramids look way awesome when they are lit up at night. I'll try to get a picture of that.


This picture is of 3 Aussies, a Kiwi, and me!! I love them all and I'm gonna miss them as we all leave and they go back to Australia... so far away. But it's okay, I'm gonna see them in 2012

The only thing that really happened this week, well after the day we had the signal 25 I had to evac the theater cuz the floor was making a weird noise and then of course, maintenance shows up and the floor behaves wonderfully. stupid floor. HISTA just knows it is on the way out and so it is going to give us as many problems as it possibly can. But only 3 more days!! If we are on set shows (running every half hour instead of every 10 minutes) then there are only 69 shows of HISTA left. Actually, less cuz they have been running shows for a couple of hours already today wahoo!! Captain EO here we come!! I have been practicing my moon walking. I learned the technique about a year and a half ago from CJ and Hayden but I always sucked at it. Now, I am decent and you can tell what I'm doing so thats very exciting!! and I'm learning Thriller. Oh Michael Jackson, you're getting to my head. I love it!! Haley, one of the coordinators, wants people to sneak as many michael jackson references into their HISTA spiels as they can. Technically we aren't allowed to talk about Captain EO over the mic but we can say things like it's a "thriller" of an attraction or "I want you back" all the way to the stage "Enjoy yourself" in the movie, I need everyone "off the wall" on the right hand side as that walkway is an emergency exit and so on. On Wednesday night there was the formal and I was totally not going to go I was gonna make dinner, watch a movie, go to bed, but then I randomly ended up going anyway. I decided I was going, got ready, and ran to the front of Chatham in stilettos in about 15 minutes. It was impressive. anyway, that was pretty fun it was just really chill and there was good food, music, people and of course, drama. cant have a dance without drama!! Isn't it amazing what happens when you start blogging?? you just can't stop. here I thought i didnt have anything to write about and then... i just keep going and going like the energizer bunny. So megan, i hope this blog keeps you happy for a while lol. One more thing. I have decided that I am going to Australia in June 2012. Why you may ask?? Well, I have my aussie and kiwi friends (see picture above)and i want to visit them!! and i want to go to australia, i always have!! Well, i have decided that most people get a thrill on their 21 birthday by drinking their way into oblivion. I want a thrill on my 21 birthday too, but not from drinking. I have decided that I will get my thrill by jumping 14000 feet from an airplane and land on the white sands (the place im looking at jumping says white sand) of an exclusive (it also says exclusive) beach in Australia!! It's gonna be a pricey trip but it will SO be worth it!! So thats my plan, and thats all I have to write about... luvya!!
