Spring Break - The Ultimate Day

The Ultimate, Eating, Flash Mobs, Karaoke, Disco, Dancing, Games and Adieus 
The final day of the trip. The ultimate day of all of the wonderful relationships that had been created. If you’re wondering if all of the loose ends get tied up – well you will see. I get lunch with Austin, Dallas and WW at the regular place. We once again fight boredom by trying to find every place possible that we haven’t eaten including the Windjammer for desserts and the Brat place as Austin has no idea what a bratwurst is. We then go to watch a dodge ball tournament. We see Abilene, for the first time in what feels like ages. We cheer for him and he smiles and waves. He looks happy but he doesn’t make any effort to try to talk to us. He loses, but it’s all good. We also see the guy who tried to buy me a drink the first night, yes, same guy who spilled the drink on my white skirt, macking on some poor underage high school babe. This makes me feel so happy that I could burst. It is completely possible to find true love on a vacation.
   We re-take our flash mob dance class and Austin and Dallas split to study so I have some quality time on the elevator bar with my WW where I meet a dude who lived in Iowa (yeah, this is amazing you have no idea). We then splinter off as WW goes to find her marine and I go to tan.
   We re-meet during the flash mob.  The flash mob doesn't go as well as any of us would have liked, but it looks pretty cool.  Plus, when we find one another we discover we are all matching in white and black. We are amazed that our bond has extended so deep that we have started to dress similarly. We decide to meet up again at family disco but I only see Dallas and Austin’s sisters. I boogie down with them and learn how to do the Electric Slide. They then tell me to check their room so I, like an elementary school kid knocking on a next-door neighbor’s door, sheepishly go to their door. We chill for a bit, watching a recording of last night’s disco night and then go to karaoke where we meet WW and my bro. I see Florida, where he does an incredibly drunken rendition of a Backstreet Boy’s song (he thanks some people that he met the casino for the liquor). I then bump into Canada’s dad who asks if I’m going to sing again and is disappointed when I tell him I am not. He reeks of whiskey and beer and I tell him I’ll see him later at the club.
   We then go to the casino where I win $25. We essentially cram all of the cruising activities into one night. But even though I win the money, we lose WW at the casino and after a few rounds of games we also lose Dallas, who wants to go to bed early because he has to wake up at 5:30. So Austin and I wander around the ship, exploring and talking and joking around. It’s kind of like Abilene, except Austin has actually taking to a woman before so therefore I do not gnash my teeth. Eventually we go back to the club where I reunite with WW, Canada and Florida. Canada apologizes for his father’s drunken behavior. Florida is extremely wasted. He doofily dances around. I finally meet WW’s marine. Austin and I decide to go to bed earlier than usual, as we both have to wake up early so we go. As Austin and I bid one another adieu on his floor, he promises that he will never forget me. Then I die a little bit.
Reasons why I died a little when Austin Said Goodbye
Austin is the kind of guy that every girl sets out to marry. Although these entries describe daily events and group bonds, it doesn’t encapsulate the individual friendships that were made.
Austin was hilarious, sensitive and kind. We had nice conversations and similar values. He was so smart (His school accepted the top 8%). We were goofing around a flirting a lot by the time we said goodbye. Yeah we were dancing a lot and yes, he was a good dancing. Also yes, I was majorly crushing by the time we said goodbye.
Oh and all of that karaoke stuff? Yeah, boy could sing. (Le sigh)He is close to his family, but not in an embarrassingly mama’s boy kind of way. He actually reads books. He played soccer. He is planning on going to SXSW next Spring Break. The list could go on and on.
   Okay end of girly rant. Especially because writing this only makes me more sad, so I am going to stop and bury my face in a pint of Hagen Das Raspberry Sorbet now, okay?
That Morning
   I see WW the next morning and she tells me all about her wild times with her marine. We exchange numbers and then eventually make plans to meet up in the future. This weekend.

Grade of Match : A +( I got to choose my family.  I had the most drama free time of my life.  It was incredible.  It was amazing.  I had an awesome time being absolutely free and crazy and wild.  Yes, I was constantly mistaken for a drunk person.  Yes I lost my voice because I yelled so much.  Yes I fell in love - kind of.  Yes.  I hopefully made some life-long friends)
Grade of Date: A+ ("")

Up Next Time:
I know! I have sucked at updating! I admit it! Last week I had several exams and essays and whatnot so I was super busy.
Anyways- here are a few things that will be covered in the upcoming entries.  I'm still not completely done with spring break.  I know!  It's a lot of stuff!  So  you get to look forward to "What never to do on a Vacationship" and "The Worst Ways I Was Hit on While on Vacation".
Also I have been on about 4 dates with a guy so there's that.
Also VEISHEA is this weekend and my lovely WW is visiting me.
According to Urban Dictionary VEISHEA is "A celebration of Iowa State University.  A really really good excuse to get wasted every single night that week.
Many students will be drunk in class."  So obviously I will be having an entry about VEISHEA-dating. That is- if I survive.
