This whole 'one post a day' nonsense is...well...nonsense. I don't mean to neglect my blog, it's just that this schooling stuff is more intense than I thought. We also have a Phase I portfolio due on Monday & I so far have one 4 of the 10 photographs we need. So, yet again, I will tell you roughly what went down since I last posted.
We got a million projects that were due first thing on Monday morning which is partially why I haven't been posting lately. That's besides the point however. On Friday my class was scheduled to go to NYC for a photography convention. I decided that going home to surprise my family & friends would be much more logical since I'm from the city of Chicago & cities do anything but thrill me. So, I hopped on a plane & headed home. This is how I surprised everyone & their reactions:
Ashley: She picked me up from the airport, so she knew I was coming home for a good 2 weeks before hand. Even though she picked me up, her reaction was (what I would guess) the same as if she did not know I was homeward bound. She hugged me & cried. We did so in a lane that wasn't meant for parking but chose to park there anyways.
Emma: As we drove back to my place, I told her to go through the front door & I would go through the front. As she went into the front & shot the breeze with Emily in the bathroom while she was doing her hair. I crept up from behind Ashley & Emma peaked her head over to meet mine. She stared at me for a while in what seemed to be disbelief. She then let out her 'Emma Screech' (which is in the slightest way very manly) & ran to give me a hug.
Kelly: Emma's reaction lead to Kelly coming out of my parents' bedroom to see what all the commotion was about. She found me standing in the hallway hugging Emma, in which she joined the hallway hug fest. After that she thought it was s good idea to call my mom to tell her that the 'package' came. So she did. She wanted to see the said 'package' so we went to her work to do so.
Mom: I hid in the trunk where I jumped out at her when she opened it. I don't know why but seeing my mom that happy made me extremely happy. She cried & hugged me for a good 10 mins. Unfortunately, I had more people to surprise, like Grace. So, we left & headed to the mall where she works.
Grace: Her reaction was the best! I'm just going to start off saying that. The way I surprised her is I Had Emily go tell her to come by a rack of clothes as if someone did something to it. When she came over I ruffled through the leather jackets (don't ask me why I chose leather jackets to hide in) & jumped out at her. Her reaction was a mast amount of flailing arms & a screech that a God himself would cringe at. After the murderous into, she threw her arms around me & cried. Next up was Amy.
Amy: Just like Grace, Amy was at work. Simply enough, I hid behind some games & she walked behind where I jumped out at her. She, like everyone else, cried. I don't know why everyone was crying. It's only been a couple months since they have seen me last. But I do think they aren't used to the whole 'me not being around' idea yet. At least they have each other, I have no one out here besides a few people like Alaska, Massachusetts, Maine & Colorado.
Dad: On the way back to our house. My Dad almost t-boned us. So, that's pretty much how that went down. Though I think he was happy to see me since he whipped around the car so our windows met & asked me what I was doing here.
The rest of the weekend flew by so damn fast. Before I knew it, it was Sunday & I had to head back to my house. When I got back home, I wasn't in the best mood. It was a mix of things that had me upset & sadly I'm still kind of feeling down but I know that come Thanksgiving I'll see them again. I have NO idea what I'm going to do from January-June when I'm not going to see them at all.
