Today started out innocently enough, but as strange as it sounds, my day took a turn for the worse once classes ended.
It started with my attempt to play drop in ice hockey which starts at the same time my last class ends so in order to be there for about an hour I have to go straight to the rec center after class.
I was making great time until I realized I was missing something quite crucial to the whole ice hockey thing... Then it hit me: MY SKATES!!! I had left them in my dorm a few days before because I had taken them with me to re-lace them!
No problem I thought! I'll just sprint across campus, grab them, and still get in 45 minutes of skating! It was then I ran into my next road block. Groping for the keys to my room I realized they weren't in my pocket, and of course my roommate was skiing today! I made a frantic search of the locker room, my hockey bag, and retraced my steps around the rec center to no avail! Fortunately I found them on the floor under my desk in Duane G2B60, where my last class was held!
By this time it was late enough that I figured I would ditch hockey and take my car to get an emissions test since mine is due by the end of January (I know, I know, I'm a procrastinator). I printed out directions and headed out. Unfortunately unbeknown-est to me, the directions I had printed from the emissions website were on a page that was too wide to print properly and as a result I got directions that appeared to make sense but were missing something...
So when I read "Head east on Valmont and it becomes Airport Boulevard, stay on it till the road ends." The actual message was Head east on Valmont turn left on Airport Road and it becomes Airport Boulevard..." Unfortunately I had driven myself into rural farm country on a one lane road by the time I realized something was fishy about my directions. Luckily I was able to call a friend (Thanks Erika! :)) to fill in the missing pieces!
Fortunately, my car passed and I made it home only 90 minutes later than expected. I figured I'd skip the dining hall since my luck was out on me, and instead got a burger to go. Of course while I was eating it at the dorm I dropped it smearing meat juice on the unfortunate landing zone of my new white sneakers!
Oh well as said by Forty Foot Echo, tommorow's a brand new day!
