Last weekend I went on a trip. Maybe not a vacation cause it was not exactly relaxing. But it was super fun. I got to hang out with two of my friends from my internship 1.5 years ago that I haven't seen since. It's kind of a big deal for me since I don't really have any friends locally that I can hang out with. Now I'm tempted to fly out and meet them more... too bad I won't be able to get time off work to do so. (Funny, it was a pretty instantaneous shift from having time but no money to having money but no time.)

Anyway, although I traveled a lot during my internship, I never actually got to Florida, so this was my first time there. I flew into Orlando, and for two days we went to the Universal Studios parks, then I drove up to one of my friend's campus (the other had to fly back after Universal Studios) in Daytona Beach and visited the Daytona racetrack. Then we drove down and visited the Kennedy Space Center. There were also visits to the beach, where I can say I truly swam in the Atlantic. (And a few months ago I was in the Pacific, so yay for two oceans in one summer!)

I had a great time. I spent a lot of money, but not quite as much as I anticipated. I was super burned out by the end of it, and there was also the HEAT AND HUMIDITY that was absolutely terrible. I know I'm a cold weather person and can't handle any kind of heat, but it was just killer, and I know it wasn't just me cause my friend, who has lived in Florida and India, was also complaining. (Not saying it was abnormal for Florida, but it was more than I can stand.) But the take-away was that I got to hang out with some really good friends and I already miss em.

Now back to work where I'm bound to receive flak for not being there. Next trip: BrickCon... if I can get the weekend off. (I dunno, I've requested it but it might be asking for a bit much.)
