"Need a last minute date for Valentine's Day?" said the flyer for speed dating. Ok, I admit it, I was really excited to go. I dragged probably 4-6 of my guy friends to come along and be buffers for any awkward situations (who am I kidding, speed dating is supposed to be awkward). I met the most typical FIT guys you could imagine, made tons of awkward small talk, and most importantly, got an email the next day saying that Armando was interested in dating me. Yesss.
Friday night we pulled it together and crammed into a car to go to Samba Room (in orlando) for some latin dancing. And if that wasn't enough, we stopped at Denny's on the way back to refuel and decided that Valentine's Day needed to be amazing. So Xerxes, Sheree, and I changed and got our bikes to go to, of course, the beach! Xerxes greeted Sheree and I with roses, gush, and we sang love songs all the way up and down the causeway at 5am. Once at the beach, we danced and pranced for an hour or so before jumping in and enjoying the sunrise. The beach gave me a gift of some cool new sunglasses too! We even got to half crash a Valentine's day sunrise beach wedding (barf), but it was really sweet. The ride back was uncomfortable cold and wet, but the experience was something to remember to say the least. And of course, no experience could end without some good quality Evans breakfast.
Upon return (10am?) I was too wired on coffee to sleep, so instead I passed out by the pool for a couple hours and then took a power nap in my room for a couple hours. Who needs sleep? I missed my rides to the beach that afternoon, and was just about to be really sad and angry and settle for watching chic flicks all night when Joshua showed up. He wanted to go out for ice cream, so I put on a pink sparkly dress and we had a night out on the town. We walked to downtown Melbourne (wooO! party!!), ate at this cute little Mexican restaurant and had a thoroughly enjoyable Valentine's Day "date".
Unfortunately I missed an opportunity to go to Orlando with my friend Adam, which would have been super fun, but sleep had been calling my name for too long. So now, on this rainy Sunday, I plan on studying studying studying for my Oceanography and Biology exams. And possibly going to the flea market, or some more sketchy garage sales to find a table for my seatless chairs.
