Spring Break and new Nerdfighters.

I haven't blogged in exactly a week, so, here it goes. Last week was spring break and my parents and I went to Las Vegas for four days. We stayed at the Mirage, which was a really nice hotel. The windows were plated with real gold and actually opened, an anomaly for most hotel windows. We spent most of the week eating, like the true fatties we are. But, surprisingly, my parents are actually much more fat than I am. Not literally of course, but I mean that they were constantly eating. Seriously, we'd go to a huge buffet and totally pig out and then the next morning they wanted to eat. Again. So that was aggravating. Mostly I just watched them eat. It was a bit annoying, really. We also went to see a variety show called V, which was cheesy to the max. I mean, the announcer guy kept making jokes about how much he hates his job and how little money he makes. It was cheesy, but I enjoyed it non the less. I liked the acrobats. On Wednesday, my mom and I went shopping and I bought a dress, a shirt, and purple flats from Forever 21. Then my mom and I passed a Claire's and I begged her to let me get my ears pierced, as I've been trying to convince her to let me do since I was at least seven years old. I bought the earrings which I have to keep in for six weeks and clean twice a day. So that was satisfying; I won a years long battle with my mother. But, to be honest, my favorite part of the trip was the drives to and from Vegas. Even though it's four hours each way on the desert highway, I get to control all the music and I love the scenery.
So, today, was the first day back to school and I had a pretty good day. I got to see all my friends again that I'd missed. I missed Michelle and Eliza and Suman and Nicole. And school was no big deal today because the teachers are going easy on us on the first day back and we are only really doing review this week. And my English teacher talked to us the entire period and we didn't do any work. And in Euro, it turned out that the entire spring break project that I busted my butt on during the last weekend of break. So, that kind of pissed me off. But, we are gonna be in groups for the rest of the year, and I'm pretty content with my group.
Also, I met a new Nerdfighter today in real life. I was sitting by the library reading Will Grayson Will Grayson, John Green's new book with David Levithan, and this girl walks out of the library and says to me, "Is that Gill Grayson Will Grayson?" and I said, "Yes! Are you a Nerdfighter?" and it turned out she totally was. So Aley and I talked to her all of brunch and it was awesome. Especially since Aley and I both knew that there had to be another Nerdfighter. We knew it. And we were right. And Alex is awesome. It was a great day.
Other things I did over the break was start this awesome book series, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. And it's amazing. I can't wait to finish it. And I also drew this portrait of The Hush Sound, which brings me to the end of this blog post.
