last thursday, my ceramics professor was like, oh- everyone needs to come to philly for nceca. and we were like... uhm what the heck is that. NCECA, is the national ceramics education something something... conference of america? whatever. so my prof. was all, you need to come, OR ELSE! and i was like... crap. i have to go to philly? alone? with my classmates that i don't talk to? joy... so we rescheduled class for tuesday, instead of thursday... which kind of put some kinks in my slinky if you know what i mean. while i was at "class" this girl ashley was all, do you want to carpool? and i was like... yeah, if you're driving. and she was like, well, everyone's taking the train, so i figured we would just meet up with them. so. we exchanged numbers, and were off. thursday comes around, we text each other to make sure we have the same meeting place/time. we get together. at first it isn't so bad, we're chatting, it's fine. no worries. then we pick up a friend of hers, and it get's a little awkward for me, because i've only known ashley for about two hours. so we drive to where we are supposed to meet everyone else to get to the train, and as soon as we get on campus, ashley's like "oh, i feel like they left, they're not here. i think they left" and she keeps saying it over and over again -_- so we keep looking for the other people. driving to a few different places in the parking lot, and finally, we find one of their cars. so we stop, and YAY they're there. so i jump out of the car, and we climb in the back of the next carpooling car. we start going, there is now 6 of us. and i'm in the back... trying not to feel weird. we wind up getting lost, and using the iphone to get a map. we make it to the train station... my first time taking PATCO to philly, but it wasn't that bad, very self explanatory. we get to philly, high-tail it 11 blocks, to where the rest of the group is waiting for us. we only go to 4 galleries. and then we're done -_- we stopped at a place to eat after the first 3 places. and i got an a-mazing sandwich. fresh mozzarella, basil, oregano, tomatoes, on a baguette with balsamic vinegar. it was so yummy. after the last gallery we did the reverse of above... and i came home. there were a few exciting things. like the actual shows, were fairly neat. i have a few favorites. and there were lots of those postcards. i have a bunch. :) OH. and we were on the second floor of a building, trying to get on the elevator. the doors open, and this guy walks out, and then the doors start closing, and so i put my arm out, but the doors didn't stop! they just kept going! everything was in slow motion! and then when the door started squeezing my arm a little, they opened. it was so scary!!!
when i got home, i had this crazy craving for ice cream, so we went to the movies instead. :P i dragged my sister and my dad to go see How to train your dragon. and actually, it was really good! i was freaking out a little. it really tugged on my heart strings. that, or, i just have a very low stress tolerance. C:
and today! i went shopping. i have a pretty blue dress.
