Living on an Empty Dorm: Day 3

Today was not a day of complete awareness. I woke up at 7, went back to sleep, woke up at 9, and went back to sleep till noon. At this point my phone had dropped off my bed. I attempted to reach over the edge of my bed to grab the phone, but found myself on the floor after a fight with my bed sheets. At this sudden drop my roommate became aware of the fact that I, the monster, had awoken and told me "that's the bed's way of telling you to get up." So I did, and after waiting an hour, we went and grabbed lunch with some choir kids who had to stay on campus for graduation also. After I made some new friends I went back to my dorm and watched some original Dr Who season 1 until it was time to head out to a band picnic. At this picnic I was welcomed with the gift of a t-shirt portraying our band show from this year and an invitation to play softball. I decided it would be best not to show off my "skills" at softball and opted to fail at something new. Disk golf. Which doesn't sound too hard initially, until you need a long range, mid range, and putter frisbee... each with a different weight and shape. Disk golf frisbees also look nothing like regular frisbees, they're flatter and more aerodynamic, without the rounded edge that I'm used to grasping on a normal frisbee. I have just gotten good at throwing a normal frisbee and I had to throw out almost everything I knew to throw this discus, but I had fun. We would each take our initial throw one at a time, but after that it was a free for all until we finished the hole. I have to say, today is probably the best day I've had so far this week.

Silly in the Tilley

So today was spent going in and out of the Tilley after church. While Taylor was doing his laundry we went to the Tilley center to check on the Redskins game. When we went to leave, Taylor had decided that there were just enough people there to try something silly. So as we were walking out the door, Taylor whistles as loud as he can the mockingjay song from The Hunger Games and everyone in the Tilley center whistles it back at different intervals and it sounded just like the movie. After we got Taylor's clothes out of the dryer we went back to the Tilley with my roommates to play soccer and go swimming (I only made one goal on Taylor, he made almost 20 on me). While we were in the hot tub  we met a nice guy who lives only 15 minutes from me and went to OPHS. As we're talking to this guy, my roommates get up out of the water and start dancing. I felt left out, so I got up and joined them. I bet we looked hilarious. Note to self: Roommates are your best mates.

Snakes.... too many snakes

Dreams can be a troublesome, torturous, dreadful thing. So here, internet; my worst nightmare. I was running around the kitchen doing a bunch of tasks like in those time management games; every so often running into another room to press a button on the wall. I didn't know what the button did, but there was a screen above it which showed me my next task in the kitchen. After a few rounds of running I forgot to press the button, and when I went to press it the screen was red. I went back to the kitchen to try and keep going, but i heard a hissing coming from the stove. When I turned to look at what was making that sound ("maybe I left the gas on?") I saw a small head with bright eyes lying on top of a heap of beheaded snakes. I realized that their heads had been chopped off by a guillotine every time I pressed the button. I turned to run, but it followed me, and two more were already coming out of the wall. The one I had first seen was preparing to attack, rising and spre...
