welcome to the best day ever...

right now i am exausted and paying for my long day yesterday but it was the best. yesterday i went and played beach volleyball with all of my best friends from 11-4. we went to this place called the Yucatan Beach club in Coppell, TX. It is off of beltline and as soon as we pulled up i was in shock. the bar and restaurant part of the area was in a huge warehouse and was not very aesthetically appealing. it was a little rough around the edges. between the smell of chlorine from the small pool in the back and the musty old bar smell, i couldn't believe where i was. now, don't get me wrong, i am not a prude but i appreciate my clean surroundings. so, we all walked in and immediately the four men sitting at the bar turned around and just stared at us. we stopped and got two buckets of beer and continued out to the courts. it was great! yes, being from florida i thought that it was weird that i was going to play "beach" volleyball in the center of texas, but oh well... so we started playing and the fun didn't stop. all we did was laugh and have a great time!



at about 4pm we all left Yucatan and came back to campus. we all changed quickly and then had to be at the intramural fields by 4:30. we were going to six flags with my sorority for a date dash! when we all got to the park we went on Superman's Tower of Power:



this was the tallest ride of this kind in the world! it was so scary!... i was freaking out when i went on it but why weren't all the other little kids on the ride totally freaked out, too?
next, we went on Batman The Ride:



we went up to 50 mph and over 11 stoires high! our last roller-coaster that we went on was Mr. Freeze. OH MY GOSH! this one was over 24 stories high, 70mph and the scariest thing i have ever done!



we even got a picture from the park that was taken when we were on the ride. our faces were ridiculous! We didn't leave the park until it closed at 10pm and I came home, showered and immediately went to sleep. my feel were almost black because i wore flip flops to the park (because i thought that we were going to go on the water rides but it was too cold). i wish that we could have gotten to go on more rides but because it was a saturday with beautiful weather it seemed that everyone in the world was at the park. Speaking of everyone in the world being at the park, how much PDA can someone show with their boyfriend? i couldn't believe how couples were just all over each other... even in front of their kids or someone else's kids! it was gross. some people were also so rude between the cussing and stealing things. we even saw two young girls get arrested for trying to steal a "tweety bird stuffed animal" from one of the carnival games. Yesterday was a cultural day for me... between the Yucatan and the beauties of Six Flags, I feel that I present myself quite well.
