Sardines and Pizza

Yesterday, my friend Gunnar and I were texting because we were both bored out of our minds doing homework. To make it seem more interesting, I challenged Gunnar to a race to see who could get their homework done first, and I won. :) To my pleasure, I found that I had geniusly done my math homework Friday before taking my math test, so I didn't need to worry about that. Then I had finished my religion paper while Gunnar and I were texting, so all I had left was to read certain chapters in Frankenstein by Mary Shelley for humanities. (Note: If you haven't read the book, READ IT! Highly recommended!) I finished that in about an hour, so I victoriously texted Gunnar, saying, "I'm done! I win! :)" He complimented me by saying, "Wow, you're fast."

After my homework was done, I could think of nothing else I needed to do. I asked Gunnar if he was busy, and if not, maybe we could do something. He said there was a big group with some of his friends that were going to play sardines at 7 and he invited me along. I accepted, happy to have something to look forward to. He showed up at 6:30, much to my dismay; my hair had just been washed, so it was all wrapped in my towel, and I was putting on my makeup. He said he got a message saying that instead of 7, the group was going to play at 7:30.

After I finished getting ready, he left, saying he'd be back in about 20 minutes. I played Mahjong until he got back, then we left to go to his friend's apartment to get a ride. The ride turned out to be a tiny white truck. Gunnar's friend, Kami (she's about 1-1.5 feet shorter than me), was in the middle, and another friend (can't remember his name) was the driver. Gunnar courteously let me sit in the cab while he rode in the bed of the truck. We picked up another friend, Nolan, and left to meet the rest of the group at the Romney (science) building. While we were walking in the snow, I had a little bit of trouble keeping up, so Gunnar came back and hoisted me over his shoulder! I punched his back, telling him to put me down.

When we got there, we paired up into groups of two. Kami "called" me, which I was fine with. The couple chosen to hide took off, then texted someone else in the group saying they were ready. We all split up in a frantic search. Kami and I finally figured out that they were in the observatory.

Later, we moved to the Snow (theatre) building, not realizing that there was a choir concert going on. While Kami and I were looking for the hiders, we went into a giant room that had tables, curtains, two pianos, and boxes upon boxes of pizza! Two guys also followed us in, and a choir member came in shortly and invited us to help ourselves, but to not take any home. We happily ate, deciding that the search was temporarily over. After we were full, we continued searching. Turns out that the hiders were in the "pizza room" all along!

After that round, we decided we were done playing. So we went to Nolan's apartment and played Uno. What was unique about his cards was that they had pictures of his family on them! We played a few rounds, then Gunnar decided to argue against Kami and I about Scar from The Lion King actually being a good guy, and then we finally decided we needed to get home around 11:50.
