Yesterday was pretty crazy. So many things happened, I don't even know where to start ...
I hit with Hilary early in the morning before my seven o' clock chemistry recitation. After recitation I headed home, caught a few z's, did some quick cramming, and took my chemistry test at one-ish. The test ... Ugh, the test. Hardest chem test I've had thus far. I got through the test, all 44 problems, only to find out that I had skipped exactly half of them. Not a very good sign. I finally finished two-and-a-half hours later and headed home to get my mind off the test.
Once dinner was finished, my roommates and I moved our mattresses out into our living room/kitchen for a mass sleepover. After ripping apart our rooms and figuring out how to make it all fit we met our ward in the lobby to go to an activity. Twenty minutes and a confusing set of directions later, we finally made our way into the parking lot of Jump On It, a warehouse filled with a bunch of trampolines placed side-by-side on the floor and on the walls, equipped with basketball hoops for dunking and the like. I had never before seen such an awesome place. It left me wondering, who is the genius that came up with such an idea? What a patriot.
After about an hour-and-a-half and many buckets of sweat later, we decided we better make our way to the movie theater for the midnight premiere of "New Moon." As I ran into the theater to meet my friends and secure my seat only twenty minutes before the beginning of the show, I spotted girl after girl in Twilight regalia, and it suddenly hit me that I was no longer in the real world. I was now in the world of over dramatic teenage love, where a civil war was constantly being fought between members of Team Jacob and Team Edward. What had I gotten myself into? I knew absolutely nothing about Twilight! I had never read the books, nor had I seen the first movie. I figured I knew enough about the story from other sources that I would probably be able to follow along.
We were lucky enough to find five seats right next to each other on the front row. The only problem was that we didn't have five people, but six. There was one single seat on the row directly behind us, but instead of making one of us sit there we just put the arm rests up on the five seats and squished. As the movie began, I remembered why people get in line so early for good seats; our angle made Edward's jaw look about the size of the stern of the Titanic, and to be completely honest, his scanty chest hair and sickly skin color didn't help much. Anyway, I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I was immersed in a sea of preteen giggles and cheesy lines. You would probably think I regret paying ten bucks for this little adventure, but to be quite honest, I'd say it was ten bucks well spent. It was a great laugh. Oh, and it also made me realize one thing that I am most definitely going to give extra-special thanks for this holiday season: a life.
So, movie over, we headed back to the dorm. We walked in, fully expecting to be able to quickly grab our blankets from our bedrooms and plop down in the living room for our sleepover. Imagine our surprise when we walked in to find our mattresses not in the living room, but stacked in the hallway and in our shower. Who the crap would do such a thing? After speaking with Mandy, it was our understanding four of our mattresses were out on the balcony when she got home. After some struggling to rearrange things, we placed our mattresses in the hallway and slept there instead. To this moment we don't know who the culprits are, but let me assure you, we have a laundry list of suspects. Justice will be served ...
