New Years and Stuff that happened before it...

Happy New Years Everyone! So many people probably have made some New Years Resolutions and I have made a couple. 1. To never procrastinate on studying and to keep up with the material 2. Get better at the guitar, got an electric one from my uncle kinda old but it still works so its cool. 3. To not be so scared of roller coasters. Those are my New Years Resolutions I know that its a short list but it'll help me keep all of them for the new year. One thing that sucks is having to work New Year's eve and New Year's day, which is what I have to do. Anyways a little recap on what I can remember on the past week.

Thursday:
I took Sami to Disneyland. I packed everything we might need for that day: some snacks, water, and money. I think I fell asleep around 1ish that day. Well I couldn't sleep that well that night, I guess I was too excited so I ended up dosing off a few times but mostly tossing and turning. It was about 4:45am and I couldn't sleep so I decided to get up and get ready if I didn't dose off by 5:10am, so I did not dose off so I got up, ate breakfast, changed, and then got gas. Then around 7am I left to go pick up Sami, after I got Sami we went to pick up her friend Sandy, who works at Disneyland. So after I picked up Sandy and she bought us tickets at a discounted price. Since Sandy had to go around 10 we managed to ride the maddahorn? (the ride in the snow moutain with the snowmonster) and the astroblaster. Then we got a fast pass for space moutain and went to California Adventure. We had lunch and Sandy managed to get us a discount for it, thanks Sandy, and after lunch we went on tower of terror. I don't like roller coasters that much and I really don't like free fall rides, I think I griped the hand bar on that ride too tight since one of my knuckles started to hurt after we got off. After that we went on the sunwheel and Sami went to go get fast passes for California Screaming. When we went on the sunwheel we shared the gondola with a really nice old man who talked to us while we were on that ride. Then I played one of those games and won Sami a blue stingray which she named Raymond. After that we went on California Screaming, and while we were walking towards the ride we saw a group of people wearing orangeish uniforms and I saw them a few times going around the park I wondered what team they were. Turns out they were the Texas Longhorns, who are to play in the Rosebowl against USC, and the funny thing is as we were about to get on the roller coaster I saw #21 LenDale White from USC going towards the exit. That was pretty cool since its like seeing a celebrity. Then after California Screaming we watched the block party, then it was off to Space Mountain. I have to admit that riding it that day was my first time riding it, and I was really scared since I'm really scared of roller coasters and I heard that Space Mountain was the scariest roller coaster in Disneyland and that kinda scared me more. However, once I got on it it wasn't so bad it was actually fun. Then we went to find a spot for the parade and the fireworks show. It was so hard to find a spot since it was so crowded, but we finally found a spot and sat down. Then we ate a turkey leg for dinner and we waited for the parade, which was very pretty. Then came about an hour waiting for the fireworks, only bad thing was I was stuck in an uncomfortable position since I sat hunched amongst the crowd. Somehow I managed to dose off for 15 or 30 mins, and pretty soon the fireworks came and it was very cool and then the snow came, too bad it didn't blow in our direction. After the fireworks and the crowd dispersed we visited Cat who was working at a churro stand. Then we tried to go on a few more rides before the park closed. We managed to go on the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Carribean. It was cool since those rides we got in so fast like about 10 mins or so for each. Then I got a 50th anniversary Mickey Ears for Sami and got it engraved for her and she got me one too ^__^. Sandy got off work so we met up with her and then visited Cat again. Then we all went to a Dennys and ate and then I took Sami and Sandy home and it was about 3ish when I got back home. All in all it was a long but very very fun day ^__^.

Happy New Years Everyone again!
