Went to order it today and I found out some pretty cool stuff. Originally I planned on buying an extra battery so if this one dies then I'll have a back up. Well the owner said that I wouldn't really need an extra one because I could just charge it once a week and be good to go. Also I bought a camera bag which is waterproof so if I'm out and about and it starts to rain I wont have to worry. That was $50 which is expensive but it's better than getting my camera ruined! I also bought two UV lens protectors which not only filters out UV rays but also protects my lens from being scratched. If you bought two you got the second one half off so that was about $22.50. Oh i also bought a zoom lens which was an additional $150 after a $100 instant rebate.With tax and everything it came to about $800, ouch! Hopefully though this camera will last me a few years! Should come in Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
We stopped by Sam's Club to reorder my cake since I wanted something different than Mom ordered me because she didn't know what I wanted. Went and got Subway again for lunch, was delicious!

Nothing beats waking up at 4:30 in the morning, nothing! Actually to tell you the truth I couldn't sleep at all so by then I was ready to get up. I took shower and everything and ready to leave by 5:40. I wanted to get to school early so that I'd be able to run to my car if I needed something. I didn't know if we could leave our bags on the bus, I didn't want to take it with me if we couldn't. I ended up wearing a pair of Mom's capris because I didn't really have any shorts I wanted to wear. They reminded me of Oompa Loompa pants, because they were baggy. How embarrassing, I wore them anyways, lols!
We were scheduled to leave at 6 am sharp but one of the buses wasn't there on time and we left at 6:30. Not sure when we stopped, probrbly about half way, at McDonald's to get lunch and relief ourselves but we got honked at by some angry people. As we were walking into McDonald's we were walking next to the drive thru where people can pass to get out, well apparently this person couldn't wait another 20 seconds and laid on the horn. We all walked over to the side and they sped up and this guy yelled out the window,"Do you always walk in the middle!!!!!" or something stupid like that. We should of just kept walking in front of them if we would of known they were going to be so rude haha. Took about four hours to get to the park with the half hour break for lunch. I made sure that I lathered on the sun screen because I didn't want to be burnt for this weekend, it's Highland Festival.
I ended up hanging out with Sydney Neil and Briana Baker. We got into the park and I got sort of annoyed because Briana wanted to walk around and just see what there was. I wanted to go and jump in line for a roller coaster. Given that it was early in the morning and not as many people would be there. We went on a few small rides which lasted about 40 seconds each, was stupid. After those we hopped in line for MaxAIR which I've never been on. I was on a ride similar to this one but this one made me feel a little sick because of the pressure on my stomach and the combined spinning made me dizzy a bit. After that I was ready for a coaster! We went on the raptor which is one of my favorite roller coasters, I'm not really sure why but I like how your feet dangle! After that we went to go back to the pavilion where Briana put her cooler for lunch. Well once we got there she couldn't find it, someone had stolen it. She was none all to excited and so we had the run around of going to different people to try to get to the one place we were suppose to go to in the first place, the lost and found. Now I was hungry in the first place but Briana wanted to go back to the pavilion and search around some more and what not. Well Subway was right there and Sydney and I wanted Subway, so Briana went back to the pavilion. You wouldn't believe the price of a 6" sub, well maybe you would but it was $6.99 for a 6" turkey! That's the regular price for a foot long here! Oh but wait, there's more! $12.99 for a foot long, two times as much as the regular price. It's ridiculous I tell you. After we ate we went back to meet up with Briana and she seemed in better spirits. Heather Elliot and Joey were there with her eating lunch. We ended up hanging out with them the rest of the day. We lost Briana at one point when she wanted to go check out the Lost and Found again. We tried looking for her but that was to no avail. Ran into Alisha Spooner and she told us about a wrist band for $9 you could get unlimited soft drinks all day. Was kind of pointless at that time though because it was around 4pm and we would be leaving in three hours. However, they did provide free water with ice, which was something worth doing!
We went on a few lines and it was about 5pm when they wanted to go on MaxAIR. I didn't feel like going because I was still feeling full from Subway and didn't want to take the chance of throwing up. Well once they got strapped into the ride and started they shut it down again because something was wrong with it. Sat there for 10 minutes waiting for them to get it going again but they still couldn't figure it out so they had everyone get off the ride and everyone standing in line to leave. We waited maybe another 10 minutes but finally they said that it would be awhile before they could get it up and running so our group left. After that we went back to the pavilion to see if Briana was there but she wasn't so Heather and Sydney wanted to go on the Dragster so we walked over there but Heather left to fight with Joey over something. Sydney wanted to go on another ride before we left so we went back to go on the Raptor. Stood in line for about 20 minutes, about another 10 minutes to get on the ride when it breaks down. Sydney didn't want to stand there and wait so we went and got some more water and headed back to the pavilion. We left at 7:30 and drove home. Kind of sucked because I was tired but I couldn't sleep and it was hot on the bus. He had the air going but it was just the fan, not the air conditioning. Was a relief when we stopped at a rest stop and got to get up and walk around. I got a nice cold bottle of water that I pretty much chugged. We got back around 11:20 and I took Sydney home and then when I got home Mom was pulling down the road going to the school to look for me.
We stayed up chatting a little and then she explained she went to a store in Midland called Meier Camera where she checked out how much a Nikon D60 was there and what not. The camera there was the same price as Walmart but if you bought a second lens at the same time you bought the camera then you'd get an instant $100 rebate. Also the fact that we would be buying it from a store I would be able to take it back if anything were to go wrong with it. And when I get the camera someone will sit down with me and explain everything about it and teach me how to take pictures so I'm not clueless. I was really excited that my camera came in but I couldn't pass up a better offer so I took it.
