Visit from Scott

For the majority of my life it seems I have spent every waking moment with Scott Low. Since arriving at college we do not have the opportunities to see each other as often anymore. This is a huge change for the both of us and when we actually get to spend some time together, it is always a great experience. To explain how much this kid means to me would take a book. It would also take a book to explain how much I miss spending time with him. I cannot imagine where I would be at in life without him being the friend that he has always been to me. Scott arrived Monday around four o'clock. I had a snow day on Monday so I did not have any of my classes. It worked out quite nicely as I got the leftover work from my busy Friday completed. Since it was a Monday there was not a whole lot of options as to what we could do. The student recreation center was closed and the entire city was primarily shut down. Scott, Tim, and i decided we would try and go get something to eat by taking Tim's car. Instead of a short trip to acquire some food, Tim was taught a lesson in karma. When you pull into a spot that someone is obviously trying to back into, you may get something in return. Tim, due to the adverse weather, had to turn his lights on. The unfortunate part of this was that he refrained from turning them off upon exiting his car. This led to the draining of his battery and a late night adventure in the baseball parking lot. Two girls drove by and offered us and ice scraper and a jump. Since Tim's car was positioned with the hood facing a natural area, there was no way for us to reach the jumper cables from their car to his. We came to the realization we could back his car out of the spot in neutral. Problem with that is that Tim's car will not go into neutral without being cranked. We ended up leaving his car, returning to my dorm room, and having pizza delivered to us. Why we did not think of that in the first place is beyond me. When you put Scott Low and Patrick Gordon together, the reasonable decision will not be made until a later time. We like to make things interesting before we make them easy. We ate our pizza, watched some TV into the wee hours of the morning, and called it a night. When we finally arose this morning we headed for the gym. We worked out for two hours and then returned to my room so I could get ready for my Nutrition class. We were on a two hour delay today so my dance class was canceled this morning and we was able to sleep in. When we got back to my room I decided no Nutrition for the day and we hung around just spending some time together. At four o'clock we drove to the mall where I picked up my passport for the cruise. I am now officially capable of leaving and re-entering the country so the Cruise is most definitely go. We spent some time at the mall walking around looking at stores and then returned to school to get something to eat before Scott had to leave. Once he left it was back to normal. I had an intramural basketball game which went horribly wrong and then the Make A Difference Meeting. Afterwards I returned to my room, listened to some streaming radio broadcasts on my laptop of some NBA games, played text twist with Mary-Neil and now I am about to got to bed and actually return to going to school. Tomorrow marks the fifth day since I have gone to a class. I feel like spring break has already begun. I get the keys from Lat tomorrow and know that the excitement level will really go up when they are handed to me. Hope everyone is doing well. God Bless!!
