Ring Mass & Ring Dance

April 24th was an amazing day.

First, was the Ring Mass. It was a really nice ceremony. Fr. Nolan, a teacher at B.E. spoke. His speech was just amazing and so funny. I wish I had his speech on tape! My parents just loved him too. Anyway, we were so lucky to have the beautiful weather we had. It was like sunny and 73 - I think. So, so lucky!

Later, was the Ring Dance. I went with one of my old friends from Washington Township High School. I had TONS of fun. (If you have me on facebook, I have a lot of pics.) It was the best dance yet. I was so glad that everything worked out. A group of us (about 8 people) went to Ponzios in Cherry Hill after the dance. My friend, Tara, had a sleepover at her house after that. The limo was just awesome too. I am so glad that we had one.

Well, that is all for now. Life has been so busy lately!!! Lol.

With Love and Peace,

SLA trip to Washington D.C.

On Thursday, April 23rd, the SLA club at my school took a trip to Washington D.C. !!! SLA = Student Library Association. It was such a great trip!! The weather was just gorgeous. I took like 300 pictures.

We unfortunately had to be at school at 6 a.m. to leave on the bus. UGH! But, we all tried to sleep on the bus, so it really wasn't that bad. We got back home around 7:30 p.m.

We took an official tour in the Library of Congress, which is really an amazing building. I was so impressed! You definitely have to go see in sometime. It is definitely worth the trip. We also saw the WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial. We walked by (or saw from afar) the Washington Monument, Capital, and Thomas Jefferson Memorial. It was really crowded in D.C. It was so great to go back because I haven't been there since spring of 6th grade!

Anyway, it was such a great trip. I was so happy that I went. =]

17 Again

I saw the new movie 17 Again with a few friends last night. It was sooooo good. I think that anyone (any age) will LOVE this movie. It was really, really funny. I definitely want to see it again. Lol! The storyline was so great and all of the characters were amazing. All of the actors and actresses did a great job. I wish this movie much success! Below are some sites about the movie. Be sure to check them out!

Happy Saturday!

Hey!

We got home from our trip at about 7:30 last night. The ride home took us 10 hours instead of 7!!! The traffic around Washington D.C. was awful. Oh well!

Today is just so amazing out! 75 and sunny. It doesn't get better than that! =]

Later, I'm going out with friends to see the movie 17 Again. I am looking forward to it. It looks really really good. After that, we're going to TGI Friday's or maybe Friendly's.

God Bless,
Amy

Last Two Days of the Trip

Hello!

Wednesday we visited UNC @ Chapel Hill and today was Wake Forest. I liked both of those schools. It's been a very fun trip. =]

Well, this is the end of the official "college road trip." I had a great time seeing all of these schools. I just love the South - as I know I've said a million times. =] Everything is just so different down here.

Back to NJ tomorrow! I feel like I have been away for a month. Lol. (Don't get me wrong, I love to travel.)

Hope that all is well.

With Love,
Amy

Clemson

Hey y'all!

Today, we visited Clemson University. I was very very impressed. It has such a pretty campus. The people at the school we very nice and extremely friendly. I just love Southern people. They are soooooo different! They are so much more relaxed and laid back. Also, all of them are just so friendly. I belong in the South. I can totally picture myself here. =] It's perfect down here. =] Anyway, Clemson was a success.

After our visit to Clemson, we got in the car and drove to Chapel Hill, NC. It took us about 6 hours to get here. We checked in our (final) hotel and went out to eat at a restaurant down the street. Our hotel is right next to the college campus. We are going to walk to the visitors center tomorrow. - It's that close. We will be touring UNC tomorrow. I am really excited.

Yours truly,
Amy

Charleston Southern and Driving some more

Today we visited Charleston Southern - just outside the city of Charleston. I really liked it there. =] The admissions counselor we met with was just sooo nice. We had a really great tour guide too! It was a really cute, laid back campus. I definitely liked it. =] I was really impressed by the people there. =]

After that we hung around the downtown area in Charleston for a while. We also stopped by the College of Charleston one last time to meet with the admissions counselor there again.

Later, we drove to Clemson, SC. Tomorrow we have a tour there. I'm really excited to see Clemson University! The trip took us about 3 1/2 hours. Clemson is NW of Charleston. The drive here was very amusing. We drove through "Hicksville." It was hilarious. We passed places like "Buck's Produce," "Thelma's Flower Shop," and "Me-maws." It was really funny.

Well, that is all for now. Keep in touch!

Peace,
Aim

The rest of today

Since I last updated we...

chilled in the hotel for a while.

walked around the city and found a beautiful Presbyterian Church that I just love. http://www.secondpresbyterianchurch.org/

went to eat dinner at Tommy Condon's. If you ever go to Charleston (and you SHOULD!) go to this restaurant. http://www.tommycondons.com/cms_pages/

Well, off to visit Charleston Southern tomorrow!

Happy Easter!!

Greetings from Charleston!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy, blessed Easter. Hope it's not too cold in NJ. It's just great here. It's sunny and 70. (Don't be jealous.) Lol!

Today, we met up with the girl I know (my mom's coworker's niece) who goes to the College of Charleston. We walked around the college for a while and I got to see her dorm. I was really impressed! It was like an apartment building. =]

After that we walked around the city and went to a place called S.N.O.B. - It was an amazing restaurant. http://www.opentable.com/rest_profile.aspx?rid=5069 - That's the site.

Well, that is all for now. I will post what we did later tonight.

With Love and God's Blessings,
Amy

Driving and Arriving

Today was the 11 1/2 hour drive to the great city - Charleston, SC!! It was very long, but totally worth it. The rain in NJ, DE, and parts of VA was just awful. It stopped when we got to NC. Thank goodness!

We are staying at the same hotel as last time.We even have the exact same room! Lol. I just love it here. The people are so awesome. I wish we could stay here forever. Well, that's all for now. I will post tomorrow! How all is well in NJ!

Love,
Amy in Charleston

Packing!

Today I went to the tailor's to get my dress hemmed and all. I absolutely love my dress! I cannot wait until you all see it. When I put it on I just knew it was the one. =]

I am leaving for Charleston, SC tomorrow and am sooooooo excited to go back there! It's one of my most amazing places that I have ever been too. I cannot wait!! (We won't be staying there the whole trip though.) I am going to visit a few different colleges in NC too - UNC at Chapel Hill and Wake Forest. In SC we will be seeing the College of Charleston again, Charleston Southern, and Clemson.

I will be bringing my laptop on this trip because we want to be able to check our emails while we are away. Also, I will definitely need some entertainment in the 11 hour car drive! I promise to try to post every night. I will definitely share what I did that day.

Wish me good luck packing. I loathe packing. I'm good at it, but I just hate it. Lol.

Cordially,
Amy

So happy I started this blog! I will definitely post a lot more as time goes on.

Today, I got up and went to In the Village. - It's one of the best places ever! It's a spa and salon. Here is the URL for it: http://www.inthevillage.com/ You should definitely check it out sometime. The people there are sooo nice. It was really cool to drive Scarlett by myself for the first time today. She rides so great! =]

Well, I hope that you all have a great day. The weather is just awesome. Happy spring!
