Let's Get this Out of the Way Early

So every trip has it's off day in order to be classified as a successful trip. I've always been a firm believer in this, and as long as you stay positive, and realize that it can only get better from here, then it will. Well, here's a story for the books.

The monsoon hit sometime during the morning. The weather was a constant torrential downpour, with wind and a chill that made your hairs stand up on end. It was clearly a day that all you could do was stay inside and snuggle with your blankets.

We ate breakfast at the 'spit' (since they call the main dining hall the 'pit,' and this was the south campus dining hall) and I stole a few packets of tea to share with friends when I return. Following, we headed to the library, where we spent the first half of our day. I got a good chunk of reading done, while Shannon worked on a paper only to lose her notes into cyberspace when her computer crashed (yet another reason why macs are supreme). So she spent the bulk of her afternoon trying to get the document back, while Kaleigh and I enjoyed Chai Tea Lattes and tried to help as best we could.

We left around 5, and they showed me the two dorms they could live in for next year, and at 6 we caught the school-provided bus to the King of Prussia mall. This place is huge! It has more stores than the mall of america, but is actually smaller due to lack of indoor amusement park.

I got a steal of a deal at H&M, and finally bought my Michael Jackson military jacket. We ate at champs, a sports bar, after failing miserably at getting a table at Bahama Rama's. Following, we got a deal for movie tickets, and went to see Shutter Island.

The movie was great. I highly suggest it, but that's not why I'm writing.

Following the film, we sprinted across the busy street back to the shuttle drop off point, as the movie got out at 12:15 and the shuttle was leaving at 12:30. We got there with ample time to spare, but little did we know it was only the beginning.

At 12:45 we placed our first call to Villanova's public safety, where they said to call back soon.

At 1, we called again, where they told me an officer would be there shortly.

At 1:40 we called again, only to learn they had not left yet and we would have to wait until an available officer could come get us.

At 1:41 I called a cab.

So now it's 2:02, and we're still here, but wait. It's actually 3:02, because today is daylight savings.At this point Shannon let out a nice 'fml!' And added the frosting to the cake. And all we can do now is laugh.

Fuck our lives.
