Pon's Epid Road Trip: Day 4
So I don't really remember anything that happened Day 4 (Friday) because it's Sunday and I have the memory of a goldfish. Whatever.
So I got to follow my sister's friend to her Gen. Chem class in the morning and I have the hardest time trying to stay awake. It wasn't so much as the class was boring as I have days where sitting in a chair for extended periods of time will put me to sleep. I need to be up and walking or moving or something. The Chem teacher had this really thick accent. I don't know how anyone understands him.
They were learning about pH stuff and acids and bases and I could actually follow along pretty well. But after class, my sister's friend showed me around the science department (biology, chemistry) and the psychology department and the greenhouse. Yeah, greenhouse. I was surprised too. And then we went to lunch in the dining hall and talked about colleges and what to look for in terms of the student-teacher support network and relationship and whatnot. It was fun. Then I hung out in the dorm for awhile and then went to Case Center to look at the apple fair and hang out in the SGA (Student Government Association) office to watch my sister make a poster for her job. Then I took a really quick shower to wake myself up (I was falling asleep all over the place!) and followed my sister to her calculus class.
Oh! Detour time. It was so fucking nice outside. High 60's, lotsa sun, man! It was so fucking nice. I really wanted to go outside and just nap in the sun for a while.
Anyway, after calculus we went off into the green to look for my sister's friends because she wanted people to come with her when we went for sushi tonight and we ended up lying in the grass hanging for awhile. Well, my sister did. I just went to sleep on the grass. But I was sad because the wind had picked up and the sun had gone away and I really really wanted to nap in the warm warm sun but now the sun was gone and it was cold. *cries*
But it was okay. Friday was Skidmore's like, Spring Fling or whatever and they were having a "Barbeque" (which was more like a grill) and they grilled hotdogs and hamburgers and a student rock band played for a while and it was nice. But it got really windy and I had to go inside to put on a hoodie. But I picked up a hamburger (which was so good) and we went inside to watch Bones for a while. And then it was time for my sister to go to this one scholarship reception whatever and she left but then she came back and was like "we can't go for sushi because they want me to actually attend the scholarship dinner" (read: talk with rich old white men so they gave us money) and gave her friends my number in case they still wanted to go and didn't mind having me tag along.
*cries* So I didn't get any sushi because they never called but we ended up figuring out they tried texting me but I don't get texting *cries some more*
So no sushi. :(
But my sister came back and we went to go see this a capella group (Drastic Measures) and it was so fucking funny. The "theme" was safari so they had, like, this introductory video where they pretended to be different animals and it was really really funny. Then they sang (and they were really really good) and there was an intermission where "Skidomedy", the Skidmore comedy troupe, put on a little show which was funny, and Drastic Measures came back and sang. They were really good. But I said that already. They did a lot of good songs, too, like Jason Mraz and Hellogoodbye and Regina Spektor.
Anyway, we finished that and went off in search of cake for my sister but they didn't sell cake anywhere so we ended up getting icecream down in the Spa, which is like this cafe/convenience store type thing with a big, like, lobby thing with tables and nonesuch and we ended up hanging with a couple of my sister's friends. Which was fun because we ended up talking about ghosts and possessions and hauntings and then joked about going into the woods (camping?) and holding a seance for the ghost of this one girl who died in a dorm fire. But we ended up not having the seance but we went to one of my sister's friend's house (on-campus housing) and hanging there until, like, two. In the morning. It was a lot of fun. :)
