First off, I show up at 10AM on the dot at my classroom and there is another class. Panicking, I sat down in the middle of the hallway and wrote an emergency email to my professor so he wouldn't think I was skipping out on it. I literally ran to his office in West Hall, which happens to be a two minute walk from my dorm, so walking to the center of campus wasted my time. I get there, he sits me down, and tells me that I can use a cheat sheet and my book. I didn't bring my book, so the second he leaves, I run out of the hall and to my room to grab my book without him knowing. I get back, take a look at the quiz, we hadn't done any of the material on the quiz in class, so I spent 45 minutes trying to work my way through it and guessing on half of it. By the end, I had a guaranteed 60 and that is if I didn't get anything else wrong. So I failed it. Lovely start to my day, which ended up having its ups and downs.
Yesterday on the other hand was a lot of fun and definitely relieved some carried stress! Me, Morgan, and Andrew decided to go out and do something yesterday and it ended up coming down to buying a baseball bat and a baseball and a football and having a day spent outside, even though it was freezing cold. Took the bus down to Rite Aid and purchased what we needed and spent the afternoon tossing around the football, playing 500, and running the bases.
It was certainly an afternoon well spent. Got us moving and we got some fresh air, which I'm sure we all needed since schoolwork has been piled on lately as we near the end of the school year. It was a lot of fun to get outside and goof around for a while, we tend to goof around quite often, but letting lose completely and just enjoying each other's company was something we hadn't been able to do in a while. Playing baseball and such reminded me of when I was a little girl, my dad and I used to play wiffle ball all the time and pitching to Morgan and Andrew brought me back. It was definitely heartwarming :) Andrew had played baseball for years as well, so it was really cool to see him know what he was doing and show us different pitches. I get the feeling he was a very good player. Morgan has an arm on her as well, and she can catch! She didn't miss a single throw when we threw her the football. The wind wasn't on our side, but it didn't stop us from really taking advantage of a nice sunny day.
Later on we spent the evening just relaxing and later on indulging in a few Pabst's. To be completely honest, they taste god awful. My co-worker, Chris, who is twenty-one bought me a 30 rack for Andrew and I on Friday, which was an adventure in itself. I walked to the liquor store and all the way to his apartment in South Burlington and got picked up with a backpack that weighed more than I did. Friday was spent with Chinese food and Pabst and a few good friends. Last night was spent with me feeling sick on and off and getting in a fight with Andrew. I don't need to go into details, but we moved past it and enjoyed the night as best we could, even though we couldn't find a place to be alone and drink by ourselves. It is frustrating, but summer is around the corner and we will be able to enjoy some serenity and seclusion.
All in all, the weekend wasn't bad. It had its ups and downs as I said, but I think I got a lot out of it through the connections I have with my closest friends. I can never have a bad time if I'm with them. They make weathering the worst storms completely manageable and almost enjoyable at times.
