Atlanta?

This past weekend, which ended up being a 4-day weekend, was awesome. I want to go to college and major in animation. There is a private school that is namely The Art Institute. There are over 40 campuses and I talked to the Charlotte campus earlier in 2008, but they did not have the right major for me. After considering the Atlanta and Decatur campus, I finally came to the point where I could go for a visit. Eli has been interested in this school as well seeing as he wants to major in Graphic Design. We made an appointment to attend the 10 o'clock in the morning Open House on January 19 at The Art Institute of Atlanta-Decatur, which is in Decatur. We went down a day early to make sure that we could get to the campus easily. We arrived on the 18th and were able to walk to the campus within 5 minutes of the hotel we were staying at.
After finding the campus, we only walked behind the campus building to find the Marta. For those of you who don't know what the Marta is, it's simply a subway that goes underneath Atlanta. We got a card and hopped upon a Marta car and rode off toward downtown Atlanta. When we got there, we went straight to Underground Atlanta. This is a strip of shops underneath the streets of Atlanta. This was absolutely amazing. However, I must admit that I was little scared to be down there with so many people. While we were down there, Eli persuaded me to get inside a small photo booth. I had never been in one before so it was a new experience.
After going to the downtown Atlanta area, we went back to Decatur and ate dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. My parents walked around the city a bit more while Eli and I went back to the hotel to relax. It was only a few minutes before my parents got to the room and Eli and I had already turned on the news to watch the weather and gotten out some blankets and my teddie bear.
Eli and I decided after a few minutes to go swimming. What a mistake that was! The pool was indoors but still freezing. I, however didn't get in. Eli and I got in the pool room and it took me a bit longer to get down to my bathing suit. I asked him to wait for me, but he just had to jump right in. He jumped in to the 4 foot area and screamed of how freezing it was! He got out shivering and me laughing at his small spasms.
After our wonderful pool experience, we went back up to the room and got ready for bed. We laid together for a while before he went to another bed to sleep. In the morning, we left for the college Open House. Eli and I were answering and asking questions. His parents weren't able to make the trip, so he didn't apply that day, but I did. The school was very small and only took a floor of an office building. We toured the place and got an idea of the spaces we would be working in.

We toured some more of the Atlanta area via the Marta again. In this trip, there were two men who started a fight right above MY head!!! I was so scared that a gun was going to get pulled or someone was going to hit the other. Then we just got in the car a drove home.
