aruba was absolutely amazing and i miss it so. i had the most enthralling time and i cannot wait for another escape. the island was unequivocally beautiful and i was blown away more and more as the days flew by and saw more of what the island had to offer. it's been two nights since we were welcomed back by this place called home. reminiscing back, it seems surreal that i was a part of such a phenomenal experience.. almost like a faint memory, lived vicariously through the shoes of someone much more fabulous than i. i loved it. every single millisecond of it. i wish we could've stayed longer, but reality hits, and the real world yearned for our return, and we fulfilled.. unwillingly. leo's already at work (now) and i'm doing three night straight wed-fri to finish off my weekly 36. i have another mini trip (house in VA beach) the end of august with the family, along with leo, to finish off the summer vacay before i'm slung back into a demanding schedule with school + work.
i got pulled over the morning i left for aruba and clocked in 50mph over the speed limit. i was following a bimmer, not realizing how fast i was going until it was too late to slam on the breaks. fkk. my first ticket. luckily (i guess), he only gave me careless driving worth two points, rather than speeding over 50, worth six(?). nonetheless, it was highly upsetting, but i was incontestably at fault. i need to get those points erased because i am NOT trying to up my already crazy insurance bill. and i just found out today... that my sister also got a ticket, lol, the same week. i figured as much after i noticed several mails from law firms lettered to her, and then some to me. she was going 41 on a 25, a ticket worth five points. i definitely lucked out compared to her. thank God for nice young state police officers. if he let me go completely, i would've hooked him up with my number. no, i'm kidding. :p
