| weekend |

currently playing: Ben Folds - Zak and Sara


This weekend can probably be summed up in two things: homework and racquetball. However, I will dive into some more detail for my own benefit.

Friday:

Class ended around 2:30 and I was incredibly happy to be out. It was a very, very long week and I was exhausted. I called Amanda and talked for a bit and then hung out in the dorm room for a while. I honestly don't remember what happened after that. Man I have such a bad memory. I probably just hung out around here for the evening. I'm sure I played racquetball somewhere in there. I know that I played racquetball actually and Andrew and I came back and didn't go sledding with everyone else because we were so tired from the games. We are really getting some beast workouts with this racquetball stuff. We have gotten so into it that we can barely walk back. It's so great. I think there was something else that I did on Friday, but I really can't remember.

Saturday:

I got to sleep in for the first time of the week. It was great. I slept until about 10:30 and then got up because I had to be at the ware lab by 11:00 for the sub team. We worked in there a bit and then the guy in charge assigned me to designing and building a pneumatic hatch lock thing. I was like.. "dude im just a freshman- i dont know how to do any of that." And he was like, "dude I did harder shit than that when I was a freshman, you can handle it." I was like... ok well if you say so. So now I am responsible for this sub being watertight basically :-/ We'll see how that goes... I mainly just need time to think about it. That's the hardest part... time. Once he assigned me that I got some parts together and left the lab. I came back to find derek awake. Everyone else around was just waking and starting to make some noise. I stuck around the dorm and did some work for a bit. I didn't get as much done as I was hoping. I played racquetball for a while with Andrew. By the time we got back, everyone had already gone to dinner. So, the two of us decided to go to Macados to get dinner. Derek wanted to come too to get some desert, so we were like alright sweet.
Well, I neglected to mention the amount of snow we got the past few days. A lot... haha. So we had to walk all the way to Andrew's car in order to drive to the restaurant. It was a good 20 minute walk in the crazy blizzard that we were having. So we all have the basic coat, jeans, and tennis shoes on.... yea, it was cold. So, we get to his car and all of us at the same time realize that we have to scrape the freaking snow off! haha, it was like all of us stopped at the same time and sighed. Andrew and I told derek to get in the car cause he just had a sweatshirt on. I used my arms and Andrew used a little squeegee that he had to scrape the 4-5 inches of snow off of his car. After a few minutes we both got in the car because we were getting too cold. After that, the two of us alternated getting out and scraping more while the other warmed up in the car. Finally, we thought we were done and Andrew turned his lights on... yea nothing. So, I got back out to scrape the snow off of his lights (since we forgot) and the freakin squeegee collapses.. it just basically snaps into 4 pieces haha. I was like ooh.. nice I guess we are done. So we start going... at first I was scared cause its horrible, horrible weather and I had never been in a car with andrew. He handled it very well I must say. Macados has an incredibly steep hill going into the parking lot and andrew decided to tackle it.. yea so we start sliding back down it when we are supposed to be going up and I was like dude you have to retreat and he was like nah man I got this. So he did. Haha I still dont know how he did it. So we get into the restaurant and get our seats. Our waitress comes out and is like, "So what made ya'll come out on a night like this?" in a very bitchy kinda way. I was like, "well, we were pretty hungry, its late, and everything on campus is closed/disgusting." She was such a bad waitress. Andrew asked her, "what's the difference between the nachos and the nachos grande." And she replid, "well, did you read it?" in a real snippy way. I was like oops.. there goes your tip. Anyways, so we ate and after a while we ventured back to our dorm. Andrew had to parallel park in the smallest space I have ever seen. We were like.."no way dude... you can't fit in that thing." He was like, "nah man, watch this." He made me get out of the car and direct him and stuff. He made it in? I still don't know how... the dimensions... I dunno. Anyways, so we start walking to our dorm and the wind was incredibly strong and COLD. We get the the door and derek was first, so he was getting his keycard out. Andrew and I were like "GO GO GO GO" cause we were so freaking cold. So derek finally gets it and we rush him into the door and he slips!! haha.. right into the puke from like two days before that some guy left after his "fun night out." omg it was the funniest thing I have seen since I got back to college. It was hilarious. I think the puke was semi-cleaned up, but man its funny to think that derek fell in it anyways. haha.. good times. Poor guy. I don't remember what else happened in the weekend.
