wow... great afternoon, great night, terrible morning
So yeah this is gonna be like the longest, funniest, stupidest, happiest, emoest and saddest entry ever. yay.
So yesterday i woke up @ like 715 and was pretty excited for the day. Cuz it was gonna be an awesome day i was excited enough to get out of bed fast and get dressed. I washed up and everything grabbed a bottle of water, checked my e-mail and headed to school.
I could tell it was gonna be an awesome day cuz i got outside and it was cloudy and cold and windy which meant there was a good chance for snow. I love snow and it would be like the only thing that could make the day like even more perfect.
So i got to school and sat down w/ geneva maddy and jelly in econ as usual. Groser, again as usual, stands around and talks to people randomly for like the first 10 minutes of class so we all just sit around and talk too. Anyways for most of that class we watched a movie and jelly pointed her laser pointer at random people to confuse them which was funny. 2nd hour was prolly the most boring one. I sat there during reading break and read an old sports illustrated and told bart his fantasy football team was gonna lose over and over lol. In anthro we sat there and watched some film strip about the bushmen in africa. It was kinda interesting actually but i still just wanted class to be over. When the bell finally rang i went to stats and sat tehre not listening to anything and reading a sports illustrated the whole class. I'll prolly regret that on monday since i won't know how to do shit but w/e, gotta worry about the future IN the future. 4th hour was my last class and we had this cool conductor dude from illinois there to teach us. I had more fun playing than usual and eventually we got out. Me and sam went back to his house and i sat around there while he packed all his stuff up.
At like 1205 his mom took us to the badger bus station and we bought our tickets and boarded. We settled into our seats and whipped out our gameboys to play some hella good pokemon!!! well... lol we got bored of that really fast. For the rest of the trip we pretty much talked about the coming season and how well we thought we'd do. Which isn't too well but yeah. It started to rain/sleet really hard during the drive and we saw like 3 cars spin out on the road. One of 'em spun right in front of the bus and rolled into the ditch in between the 2 sides of the freeway. Anyways, the talking passed the ride pretty fast and after what seemed liek a really short trip we were @ the memorial union.
By now it was sleeting really hard and me and sam ran in really fast and tried to dry off a little bit. We ran into anna, julia brotton and clare in there and talked to them for a little while before we decided to run off to potbelly's. That was some good stuff. I ate 2 meat ball subs and had a cup of lemonade. Me and sam just hung out there for an hour or so, by the time we left it was full out snowing, like not flurrying but snowing like a real snow storm. The street was really dark and it was only 330 in the afternoon.
We went back outside and headed to Lids and i got a new tan hat with a gold greyhound on the front. They told me it would be awhile to make the hat for me cuz they had to like make it customized and everything so me and sam met up with robby @ starbucks and then headed back to the union. I watched 'em play miss pacman and then the lids guy called so i ran back and picked up my hat. Shortly after, the three of us walked over to a computer building thing where Robby checked his e-mail and then headed back to his dorm. Me and sam went to the Nat. to watch the girls meet.
As usual, walking in there was an awesome feeling cuz it really proves to me that there really are alot of people who care about swimming, alot more than there seem to be at least. And it's a hugeass pool and it's really nice and idk what else, it's just like an electric feeling when you're in there. But yeah it was also kinda sad cuz Mrs. Morris was telling us about all the accidents she saw on the way here and how alotta families were really late and couldn't make it cuz of the roads/weather.
Me and sam found some nice seats @ the front of the shorewood section and i put on my new unique greyhounds hat for the first time. It's kinda tight but w/e i still think it looks cool lol. The meet started and everyone got pretty fired up i think. Greendale won the Medley cuz their butterflier was a man... like seriously no question. man-woman ftw. Moving on, danielle did alright in her 200 i think. She dropped time and all so you can't hope for too much more than that. Kelly Winckler the ogre from deforest won the event by like 3 seconds because Shrek dumped her so she had so much fury in her blood. The 200 IM was kinda exciting, a sophomore from madison edgewood i think won it. It was nice cuz i remember her losing at the very end last year so it was cool to see her bounce back. Elli vs. maggie was up next in the 50 free. Maggie got the best of the rivalry this time, i think she got 4th and Elli got 7th. Some girl from New Berlin won the event in a state record time.
The break was boring as usual lol, we all danced and made fun of each other pretty much during the whole thing. Or maybe more like i danced and they made fun of me*. After the break it was fun watching Elli get 3rd in the fly, that's awesome especially for a freshman. The same girl who won the 50 won the 100 free next and then jillian and danielle both did pretty well in their 500's. The same ogre woman from deforest won the 500 as well. Dang she must've really liked ol' Shrek. The 200 relay mighta been the most exciting event of the meet. I forgot who got 2nd but WFB was losing by a lil bit going into the last leg and maggie came back and won by .04 so that was pretty impressive to see a freshman step up like that. The 100 back was pretty boring. I don't even remember who won the event, Jocelyn did pretty good for Shorewood but other than that it was pretty uneventful. The 100 breast was pretty boring as well. We figured out that WFB was winning by alot going into the 400 relay and the only way they could lose is if either Grafton or Deforest won the event. As it turns out Deforest won cuz the ogre woman won it for them on the last leg and Grafton got 2nd.
After the meet me and sam got a ride with mrs. Morris to the olive garden. I had my usual toscana soup and tour of italy there. It was pretty fun, just sitting there with good friends and eating good food after a good season. For the girls that is, and knowing that a good season for the guys was about to start. After dinner Mrs. Morris gave us a ride back into town and thus begins the worse part of the trip.
We got back to state street and sam told mrs. morris that we were close so she could just drop us off there. I had no idea where we were going so i assumed it was a couple blocks. Sam takes off running down state street and i struggle to keep up while holding my pants up and trying to stay dry. A couple times i almost lost him around a corner but yeah eventually i ran into mike sambar and amelia and we headed back to mike's dorm while sam continued to robby's. Me and mike get back to his dorm but we don't go out to party or anyting cuz he had to work @ 730 in the morning. I fall asleep eventually @ like 2 and wake up to hear him leaving around 715. I go back to sleep till about 815 and then i get up and get dressed and wash up. I look up a map on his computer to find my way back to the union and then i call sam. We plan out to meet @ the union @ 930 and then take the 940 bus home. I leave mike's @ 830. Around 915 i start to get turned around and lose my way to the union. @ 925 i start to panic and call sam. He calls me @930 and tells me to get there fast. I find a map but the fuckign thing doesn't tell me where i am, only where stuff is so i had no idea where i was supposed to go or in which direction. I end up missing the bus and panicing cuz i was lost in the middle of a part of the city i'd never seen before and sam left on the bus so i had no idea how to get anywhere. I eventually, after a crapload of stuff including taking a bus to mcfarland by accident, cross over state street.
Finally! I walk up state street till i get to the end of it and I saw the union from there. I got there and saw the next bus was @ 1210. I walked in, sat down and played a game of miss pacman. I sucked @ it compared to robby and sam so i gave up pretty fast lol. I walked into their cafeteria to try to buy something but they wouldn't sell me anything because i wasn't a student. God damn that morning was sucking. Finally it got sorta happier cuz i sat down in a big lounge where they had a big projector set up. They were showing the badger game and giving ppl popcorn so i finally got something to eat and i could watch the game to pass the time.
I walk out when the badgers are leading 10-0 and i get on the bus @12. I spend the trip home listening to music and thinking about what a crappy day it had been so far. 2 hours later i made it back home and eventually got back to my house. Since then i haven't been eager to do anything that involves moving. However, now I am off to bed. How great is that gonna be, I'm away for a day in the cold and wet sleet, I sleep in a dorm room, and then i'm lost and scared as fuck in an unknown place for most of the day, and now i get to sleep in my own bed again.
That whole trip and the whole last 2 days were definitely erratic. So happy at sometimes, so sad at others, so exciting at some and so worrisome at others. Now I'm ready for a relaxing sunday that includes nothing but sleeping and watching football. Goodnight Shorewood, thank you for reading all about my life... or lackthereof ;-)
