Durktionarie

Ah. It's summer bitches!!!! Finishing this semester felt amazing and I feel this summer is well deserved and will be lots of fun :) I ended this semester with a 3.6666 repeating which kicked my cumulative gpa to a 3.245 which is so much better than my initial 2.75. So cheers to that.

Last Wednesday I took my last final and the crew got together for a bonfire that night to kick off the summer. I think s'mores and good friends are always a good way to kick things off. On Thursday Kali and I went up to Eastern Heights to visit some old teachers and by old it's now very old. We haven't had these teachers for 6 years now! That's so hard to believe. We saw Mr. Walton who hasn't changed at all except that he's moving on from Eastern Heights and going up to the college level. Friday I went with Evan and his parents to the Pittsburgh Zoo. It was super packed, I swear every elementary school age child was there with their school. It was an okay zoo, definitely not the best and wouldn't have been worth the $13 it would have been to get in if I didn't have a zoo membership. Afterward we went downtown to Primanti Brothers in the strip district. They're pretty popular on the Travel Channel because they put the fries and cole slaw on the sandwich instead of next to it. I got their cheese steak which was a pretty good sandwich. After we ate we headed back to Ohio and stopped in Niles to check out the William McKinley National Memorial. They had a ton of stuff like several of his campaign buttons and random things he had.

Saturday we headed to Michigan to the Detroit Zoo which was a huge and pretty awesome zoo, even if they didn't have any pins :/ After the zoo we went to our hotel which was a Fairfield Inn in Troy, Michigan. Troy was a really nice town. We ate dinner at Sonic, I've now been to 5 different sonics, I think I've been to more Sonics than McDonalds. We went over to a mall right around the corner called Oakland mall. It was your typical, a lot like Great Northern. Then we went to Great Lakes Crossing mall which was a little bit down I-75. AMAZING. They have outlet stores of a lot of name brands like Victoria's Secret, Neiman Marcus, Coach (omg this killed me) even a Saks Fifth Avenue. I loved this mall. I told my mom about it and we found another amazing mall close to it and we're probably going to go up there next year since I've been to Michigan four times now and my mom has never been. Afterward we went to Krispy Kreme and were given a fresh just off the fryer donut. Holy shit. Hot donuts are the shit! They just melt in your mouth. So we grabbed some donuts for breakfast in the morning and relaxed the rest of the evening in the hotel.

Sunday morning we headed back to Ohio and stopped at the Toldeo Zoo. They have a baby polar bear and he was so cute! After the zoo we ate at a Big Boy, which every time I eat at one of these it makes me think of Mrs. Clancy and her freaking Big Boy figure thing she bought at Key Club convention one year. After we ate I came home then Meranda and I hit the beach! It was perfect weather for it too, it made me wish I wore my swimsuit so I could swim.

I was off work today but go back tomorrow and work Tuesday-Friday. Luckily I get memorial day weekend off :)
