Crazy Kids

Saturday= Game day and Cliff jumping!!! We left for Porcupine Res at eleven, and stopped to wake Erin up. We had to pick up my friends car and on the way saw an awesome giraffe print jeep, ultimate safari vehicle. We decided we needed life jackets or flotation devices so we headed over to the orc, finally made it after a massive detour, because it was game day! Turns out USU shuts down on Saturday, when students can actually have fun, so went to two dollar stores, before finding arm floaters and bouncy balls. When we were kids we never had bouncy balls, and thought the were way too expensive for us, after growing up and leaning you can buy one for a dollar I feel jipped. We headed out to Porcupine, and stopped for directions mostly because the guy had two of the cutest puppies in the world. After stopping a second time because there was a grass hopper in the backseat we made our way down the road, passing paradise and Avon. Cows were grazing on the road, and off the road. Crazy Cows! I was warned the road would be steep and was told to go slow because it was gravel.  As soon as I hit the road I was brought back to summer time and driving to and from the ranch. In the summer I went twenty, this time I went ten. I parked where I was told, which happened to be at a spot where the reservoir was the widest to swim across. Bouncy balls are not good flotation devices to swim with, and we lost one.  The current that didn't seem so swift sure carried it far and fast. The swim took forever, once we were to the other side, we saw just how low the water was. Kim was a brave soul and jumped.  Jeannie sat at the top.  Erin and I climbed up, sat for ten minutes and then climbed back down and swam back and fourth across the river, at a narrower spot.  We played fetch with a dog, and met a man who had a hangover and was trying not to pass out. By the time we left I was freezing and my lips were blue, so we had a heater in September, which seems an awful pity. We got home in time to get ready for the game, first time I had my face painted, and first time we watched an entire Aggie game. 54-17. After the game we had ice cream, and I had to write my paper on testosterone and aggression in men.  After that we watched you tube videos with Rob, and recounted many memories. One memory made this year was staying up until two in the morning waiting for our zucchini cobbler, (which tasted an awful lot like apple cobbler). While we were waiting we watched the better half of a Canadian tv series called Haven. Baking with Rob and Kim, is nothing shy of fun. I think we started the cobbler at eight, but before the cobbler we wanted a snack so we made zucchini chips, but before that we had to pick the zucchini, which meant we also had to pick the other vegetables that were ripe.  None of us have a one track brain, so we ended up singing songs, and dancing and telling stories and watching videos, and then four hours later the cobbler went in the oven.  

Friday was the ninth and was an awful tiring day all around. Friday was the first time I feel asleep while studying. During histology I was actually doing pretty good at locating tissues on the slides, after an initial period of not being able to focus my microscope. I think I've been told by my professor "remember the microscope views things upside down and backwards," half a dozen times, we've had two labs. Great class! After lab I bought my psychology books, I sat down to read it and woke up four hours later.  Which would have been fine any other night but girls night, thank's to Erin's text, "If I ever wake up" we could start. So we headed out on our grand adventure to Walmart to get ice cream, and peaches, this was a night not to think of cabbage. Upon our return we made peanut butter cookies, a first, the hardest thing about cookies is spacing on the cookie sheet and time in the oven. The plan: deliver them to Rich 201, aka the room we lived in last year. They loved the cookies, and then we made our way home through the Fudge cemetery. We were twenty feet in when a car pulled in  behind us with a megaphone. My heart dropped a little, because I thought this would be the first time I would get a ticket, a ticket for trespassing or something. The fudge cemetery has a clear sign that says "NO ADMITTANCE AFTER DARK."

How Fudge Cemetery got its name

That won't stop us from spending the night though. (In Logan you have to make bucket lists of things to do before you graduate.)  Too scared to run, I just stood there.  Our cop turned out to be a kid with a mega phone, and after parking there for thirty seconds and shouting in the mega phone, he bid us ado by wishing us a great night, and  we returned to our walk. We jumped the fence, no battle scars this time, and made our way to the elementary maze. We met some fellow college students and played one crazy game of tag, before going our separate ways. We went down the slide by Reeder, and rode the bicycle statue, we were invited to play ultimate Frisbee, but decided to watch The Roommate instead. We ate ice cream and cookies, which is unusual for my roommates so see me eating that. I went my entire college career without sugar.  That ended this summer. The Roommate was weird, twisted movie, after the movie ended, I fell asleep on the couch, and woke up when my roommate was coming towards me with a blanket at three in the morning, which made me jump a little. At six in the morning, I went running up the canyon and across the mountain with Josh. I ran the whole way, no more walking up hills for me.  We got back at a quarter to eight, had pop tarts, then I went back to sleep, he had to go to work.
