the bad, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the awesome!

Today was quite the interesting day. It started out poorly as i got up to go on a ridiculously long bike ride for a class and it was pouring out! So that was seriously unpleasant, until just before 8 o'clock ( we were to leave at 8:30) when i received an e-mail that we would not be riding bikes through down town, we would be taking vans. Yay! no getting wet, no spending hours in the rain, so at this point my day was looking awesome!

So at about 8:20 i arrive at the meeting place, and slowly the others in the class trickle in. Then the vans show up, yippee! Until we realize that there are 11 seats in each van including the drivers seat, so 11 seats per van times two van equals 22 seats... there are 26 people who need to fit into the vans. So, being that i was not super eager to just jump into a van i ended up in the very back - trunkish area - of the van, on the floor... so after a while of riding i began to get very car sick. Finally after about 5 or 6 stops we end up downtown at the final place of our tour! Yahoo!

Wait, wait... nope, not yahoo

We were then split into groups of three or four, given a packet of paper and told to do this wonderful scavenger hunt, all throughout downtown... Outside. It was still raining... hard! So after an hour of running around all downtown look for different places and taking pictures and running around in the rain, we meet the rest of the group in the lobby of a hotel... dripping wet

literally, there was water dripping out of my sweater!!

So we sit down to talk about our tours around the city and add up all our points from the scavenger hunt. I sat with my group doing the math of how many points we had gotten - We got 750 points! i was pumped thinking that we had hauled butt and gotten so many different places and with all those points we were sure to win and be free from writing the reflection paper!

The prof then says "does anyone have 750 points of more?" me and my group are sitting there feeling confident that we have won! but then another group calls out that they have 775 points! They had beaten us by 25 points, which was one item on the list! they beat us by one! so not only were we wet, but we still have to write a reflection paper!

So after returning to campus, changing into warm dry clothes and going and getting lunch (oh did i forget to mention that i failed to eat breakfast before we left, and then i returned to campus at 12:45) i sat down at my computer to do homework. (which since i'm writing on here, you can tell that i'm failing at the homework side of things) I sat down and made an outline for my paper and got most of my sources put into my sources list on my computer, and then (due to my raging headache from being wet and not eating enough protein) i decided to take a break and watch a show from hulu.

While watching the show i decided i should be semi productive and look into what i needed to do to prep for doing my registry for the wedding!! So exciting i know!! so i go to the websites and find that it is so easy and i can do it all online! Yay so after that i spent the rest of my evening looking at things that i'm going to need for the house and doing all that fun stuff...

So all in all, i think at the end of the day it was pretty OK. Bad morning but it went up from there. I cant help but get excited about what is going to come in the next few weeks leading up to the wedding!
