Rrrrrrrrrrolling Along
On Wednesday I made my way down to Dennison to surprise Keehner with her first visitor ever this year, and I totally pulled it off-she had no idea. I was a little worried she might figure it out as the past few days before I left I was trying to get some information out of her like her room number, when she wouldn't have class/be in her dorm room, but she was clueless.
It's a 4 hour drive each way-some how Keehner makes it in 3, don't ask me how-and it's not bad until that 4th hour. On the way down there it was getting dark and I was driving on this little road that is only comaprable to Route 2 to go to Cedar Point and I know that road like th back of my hand and I STILL won't drive it if it's going to be dark on the way back-I take the Turnpike-so I was a little freaked out driving on this little road. What was wired is that I would drive for like 5 miles with NOTIHNG then BOOM! theres this littleand I mean litte, like 5 shops on each side of the road, towns and then it would be 5 miles until I saw any sign of civilization. So I finally get there and i drive through this little town that looks like it comes straight out of a movie-think Runaway Bride-and at the end of the road is the entrance. So I drive up the hill and they actually have visitor parking-for free!
Then the fun really started as I had to try to find her dorm passed it and and to double back when I actually realized it was this one. Then I had to act like a stalker and wait until one guy came in and I slipped in behind him. Found her room in the basement and when she opened the door it took her-and me actually-a second to realized it was me/her. Then she took a step back, freaked out, turned red, and hugged me like 5 times asking "Why the hell are you doing here!?" So then she showed me around campus which is smaller than dearborn and it is set aside from everything, it's like there own little bubble which was really nice. It was weird for me though, as I am used to dodging cars and passing resturant after resturant in Ann Arbor. Another thing is that she would see friends all the time, just running into them that never happens in Ann Arbor! You don't just run into people you know, you have to call them and be like "where are you? want to meet here?" I really liked the campus though it was small and intimate, kinda reminded me of Greenfield Village.
I met a few of her friends, and then we watched American Idol, oh Chicken Little *shakes head*. Then I made my way to the Super 8 as I didn't want to make jen sleep in the same bed as her roommate, and that was fun because it was like 11 and there were no street lights and I was in the middle of no where. Anways, I find it walk in and the guy behind the counter gives a wierd look and goes, "can I help you?" like he had no idea I wanted a room. "Actually, Spike told me this was the drop off/pick up site." Why else would I go to a motel at 11:30?! So the next morning I hung out with Jen at "The Pit" which had to be like 100 degrees. for the rest of the time we just sat and talked which was nice. I gave her her birthday gift, the Post Secret book and a t-shit which is an inside joke so I'm not going to explain the whole thing. Then I got the dirty lok from her friend V as she had also bought Keehner the Post Secret book, good thing I gave her her gift first because I did not keep the receipt and I wrote in it haha.
Then I had to get goin' back to Michigan. I would have stayed the rest of the day and come back today but her parents were coming in a day early and she would have to be with them and I would just be sitting in the motel by myself haha. But it was a fun little trip and I think she got a kick out of it too.
