sun burnt.

i know what your thinking, sun burnt in january?!

but it's true.

after mel, ky, and i bought all of our books we got a sweet coupon book. we were checking out all of the cool things we could get. ky of course found a free tan and so her and mel were all over that. 

now i have never been tanning before in my life, and just remember that i didn't even get to tan this summer due to alaska being about the coldest place ever.

needless to say it's been a while since i've seen the sun.

so after we were all done with classes we headed over to use our free tans.

ky and mel both went before me and i was left sitting in the waiting room all alone.

finally they had a bed open and so i followed the lady back.

we walked into the room and i was instantly nastied out by the fact the i was supposed to lay bum naked in the same bed that hundreds of other people lay bum naked in.

[still have not outgrown the germ phase.]

the lady also gave me the ten minute talk on how if i didn't wear the eye goggles i would go blind and how horrid and terrible that would be.

so she leaves the room, and i close and lock the door. it took me about five minutes to finally talk myself into getting in the bed, but finally i did it.

now there are individual rooms, but the ceiling isn't closed over just your room, it's like an open ceiling so you can hear things.

as i'm laying there [naked...nasty] i start hearing doors open and i am terrified that it is my door. so i'm laying in the bed with my goggles on, eyes squeezed shut, i just know that somebody is standing in my room. i'm freaking out, but i can't open my eyes or i will go blind!

then the bed starts making these weird noises and i just get the feeling that it's going to break and i am going to get electrocuted and die. so then i start panicking, i could go blind, somebody is in my room, and now i'm going to be electrocuted to death.

which leads to me getting extremely claustrophobic where i started to panic. i started counting to 60 trying to make the next nine minutes fly by.

obviously it wasn't the best tanning experience ever.

i don't know how people think it's so relaxing.

so after that i met back up with mel and ky.

no worries, they loved it.

all was well until the next morning when we woke up and found out that we were fried!

but not in places where you usually get fried.

nope, it just so happens to be our bums that are beet red and fried.

it's really ideal to have a fried bum and having to sit for nine hours a day.

unfortunately we didn't get any pictures, but i draw this lovely piece of art that is now hung in our house.
