Fun Times in Alumni

Today was a good day. It's actually days like this that make me feel like I made the right choice when i decided to come to Wingate. First off, I had about 10 minutes of homework to do, and that made me extremely happy. Other than that, It was a pretty normal day: went to class, dinner, worked out, watched American Idol, then hung out. The hanging out was where the day got really interesting.

I was helping my friend, Callie, figure out how to go home without using highway 74, and i was having trouble explaining it to her. I finally got it figured out, and my crazy roommate showed up with only leggings and a t-shirt on. She said something about how she was going to work out in leggings and shorts tomorrow and it made me think of an 80s workout video that some friends had filmed about a year and a half ago. I showed it to Callie, and then an Office spin off video that we had also filmed last year.

A few more of our friends started coming in Callie's room and we all sat down on the beds and were just talking. Brian looked up and noticed how dusty the overhead lights were, so he started messing with them and took down the grate that goes over them. After he had it all unattached, he made Callie stand on a chair and put it back up. It took a little while, but she got it, and Brian moved the chair and started to take down the other grate. She promptly pushed him off the chair and got on it herself so that he couldn't take down the light. Callie was facing Brian and the door, so Ryan started shaking the back of her chair and she freaked out. It was rather funny, and most of us got a good laugh out of it.

Brian and Ryan left to go say goodnight Jessie, who was in her bed watching tv. I missed the first part of it, but I went in to see what was going on and they had pulled her mattress almost all the way off of her bed and she promptly jumped off and got on her roommate's bed. A little while later, I was in Callie's room talking to her, and Ryan comes in and says that Brian had disappeared and Jessie couldn't find her phone. Jessie said she wanted to go to bed and that she needed her phone, because it was her alarm clock. Several of us tried calling Brian, but he wouldn't pick up. Ryan called Jessie's phone and left a few random messages while she was standing right there. It had been about 15 minutes at this point, and it was getting a little frustrating. Brian called me from his phone and was whispering saying that he was in the elevator then in the lobby and would come back up. I didn't really believe him, but we had looked almost everywhere on our hall and in his room and hadn't found him yet. He hung up on me before i could figure out where he was, but we realized that several people were in one of the end rooms and that they had stopped talking while Brian was talking to me on the phone. Jessie banged on the door and they let her in. Everyone was doing a pretty good job pretending to not have a clue, except Blair who had a big smile on her face the entire time. You don't have to know Blair very well to know that she isn't a good liar. When Jessie noticed how much she was smiling, she started to look around the room for Brian. It was about a minute till she found him hiding in a wardrobe. He said he didn't have her phone, but followed her back to her room to help her find it. I went back to Callie's room, and a few minutes later, Ryan came in and said that Brian did have it the whole time and hid it when he got back to Jessie's room. It was after curfew, so we all went to our rooms and the boys went downstairs to theirs.

The only negative thing that happened today was finding out that my little sister has taken over my room and doesn't want to give me my big bed back, oh well, i guess she sleeps at home more than i do, and i love her too much to steal it from her! Overall, It's days like this that help me get through hectic weeks! It almost felt like a Sunday night, so i hope that tomorrow doesn't feel like Monday morning! I'm so glad we don't have school next Monday, because I can't wait to go home and see some of my friends! :)
