Friday was a field trip with my English class to the Griffith Observatory.
Got off work, went to go pick up Amador, and we headed to the Observatory ourselves. Man, the traffic was HORRIBLE.
After we finally arrived, found a parking spot on the hill, we ran up to look for the rest of the class. We had just seen the bus driving back down on our way up so we knew they had to be around somewhere. They were all standing next to the railing on the right side of the observatory. Amador and I gathered in with the rest of them and stroke up conversations with the others. Brian and his mother soon walked over and we were all just talking. The professor showed up, we gave him the money, and we went on our way into the observatory. After a bit of looking around he herded us down the steps and into a theater where we watched a video narreratied by Leonard Nimoy, the guy who played Spock or w/e. The video informed us about how the observatory had changed and how they had built under it. It had been under construction for.. four years? I don't remember, honestly. Lol.
Anyway, after it he made us walk down a slightly turning hallway back into the room the theater was right next to. So pretty much, in a circle. The wall of the hallway however showed artifacts from millions of years ago, or something like that. It was quite nice and shiny. Very pretty stuff inside the case leading down to the end of the hall.
After exploring the room with the 'Big Picture' and the planets, we headed back up to watch the Center of the Universe show. I remember it was my most favorite thing when I visited as a child. I enjoyed it once more. After that we were free to explore the rest of the museum. Which Amador and I did quite actively. There were little games of tag between Veronica, Brian, Brian's mother, Amador, and I. Amador, Brian and I ended up running around the front lawn of the observatory tagging each other while waiting in line for a look at Mercury and Saturn. It felt good to be playing little games like a kid again. We headed up to the telescope and cut in line behind the professor and his girlfriend to look at Saturn through the Zeiss telescope.
It was pretty damn neat(:
So Saturday I met Nick at the Irvine Spectrum to go shopping for a dress for the ball. Which, we found no luck doing. Well, there was one dress that we both liked, but I already have something a bit similar to it so I thought it pointless. He's wearing his Dress Blues - SEXYYYYYYYYYASS uniform. Honestly though, I can't seem to find anything that would compliment it. :/ So I plan on just wearing a teacup length dress that's black. Maybe just the dress I wore for the Marine Corps Ball. Except.. that ball was MUCH bigger and WAYY more formal. >__< I was TOTALLY under dressed. Rofl. Never have I seen so many Marines in their Blues either. Hahahaha.
Had a pretty good time Saturday. I was force feeding giant heaping spoon fulls of ice cream into Nick's mouth(: Then we had dinner, and watched a movie.
I headed home soon after. It was gettin' late.
And today.. Well, Nick's on his way up from base. He's almost here. Few more minutes. We're going to make lunch together and head over to the observatory. I wonder if my parents would be interested in going? Hm.. I should invite them.
Hehe.. Nick's been spoiling me, so now I feel as if it's my turn to spoil him. Besides paying for the movie, and ice cream yesterday, I think i'll try to chip in whenever I possibly can.
My wrist hurts, and Nick's here(:
Peace out, ladies.
I like the colors in this picture i took(:
