Another Day Survived

Survived is a strong word, but I do feel that it is becoming a feat for me to go a day without an emotional break or insanity attack.

Formal dinner was fun, I sat next to Olivia, from Oxy, and everyone was wearing dresses and shirts and jackets. It was very cute. We had to stand behind our chairs for a long time though. But we got some great food. They gave us a little appetizer with hummus-like dip and crunchy strips nom nom nom. And I had steak. YUM. And we had this delicious chocolate-pear cream pie thingy. I think they called it a tart, but it looked like a cream pie to me.
I sat next to this guy, Alexander, from Amsterdam as well. At the end of the night he was trying to explain to me the difference between good and bad wine and how to pick them out. He was a little hilarious. He pulled my chair out for me at the beginning. I was also towering over him in my heels.
I am really glad Olivia is here with me. At one point, she was like, "I'm really glad you're here." And I said, "I'm glad you're here too, if you weren't, I would be a little bit more lonely." And she said the same to me. I think we might skip the scheduled activities tomorrow morning, which are optional, and run some errands together. We also wouldn't have to get up so early. And I could pick up my cell phone.

The zoo was so great!!!!!!!! I saw kangaroos, and a wallaby, and wombats, and koala bears, and zebras, and giraffes, and an ostrich, and bongos, and penguins, and lions, and orangutans, and tigers, and SEALS. SEALS, I TELL YOU!!! *__* They were amazing. I love seals.
Oh my gosh, and they had a butterfly house, were you enter through a couple doors and go into a greenhouse type-building where you walk through all these butterflies just flying around your head! It was beautiful. They didn't like to stay still, though, the flew past you pretty quickly. And my camera kept fogging up because they kept it hot and humid in there because the butterflies like that climate, so my pictures do it absolutely no justice. They do have this weird ethereal fog thing going on though, like I just ate shrooms and went to a magical fairyland or something.

Well, I need to go to bed now. I don't know if I'll get much of a chance to write tomorrow, there is a lot of stuff to do. I will see. I love and miss all my friends and family! ooxxOXoxxx
