Road Trip Highlights
Alright, so I'm sitting at the front desk, getting paid to write in my journal. This is really nice. But anyways, now is the time to talk about all the good stuff that happened yesterday.
First, the four of us went to our morning classes, then I had a Student Government Meeting during the break hour. After that, we stocked up on pop, got into Nic's car, and hit the road going North to Minneapolis. Like any good road trip, most of the funniest stuff occurs during the rides to and from. This is no exception. On the way there, we saw a garbage truck going like, at least 70 miles an hour (I video recorded it hoping it would lose control, crash, and explode...but nothing happened unfortunately). We also saw a full-size school bus towing a small geo-metro-like car. Ok, so really nothing exciting for all those who are reading this, but damn it was funny at the time. When we reached the Iowa/Minnesota border, we stopped at the big red barn and CJ and Justin had a snowball fight. I'm not who won, since they both started chucking snowballs at the car while I was inside video recording. The rest of the way to the Mall of America was pretty much uneventful, except for our discussion on why schools couldn't have a program called "Gifted And Youthful".
While we were in the mall, we found out that it kinda sucked overall. There was only one GameStop in the entire place, mixed in with one RadioShack and one Circuit City. The rest is all overprices crappy preppy stores that when you go in, the actual atmosphere makes your head implode. However, while we were stopped at a mall directory looking for a store, some guy came up and asked if we had Jesus in our hearts. We all stood there and were like "uhhhhhhhh" and before CJ could really say what he wanted to say, the guy goes on to explain how something 10 times worse than what happened in New York is going to occur sometime in the year 2005. OMG THAT'S THIS YEAR!! OH NOES!! Yeah, we all laughed after he walked away and pretty much was the biggest highlight of being in the actual mall.
So after all that, we finally went back to the car and headed back to Iowa. Things that happened on the way back include: CJ lighting his hand on fire...multiple times, Justin winning a staring contest with the camera (even though I'm pretty sure that happened on the way TO the mall, but I don't really care), another snowball fight between CJ and Justin (CJ won that time, I believe), and the usual quoting from various tv shows/movies. BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET!!! We stopped in Ames on the way home so that Nic could visit with a friend. So he dropped Justin off at his girlfriend's place, and dropped CJ and me off at Maple/Willow/Larch where we dropped by Sam's place and surprised him like none other. So then we hung out and watched the footage that I had on the tape thus far. Good stuff...good stuff indeed.
I can't wait for our next road trip!
