The Answer is Yes Part 2


      I do think that saying yes as my only response in a 24-hour period was one of my most insane and unprepared ideas yet. To summarize my day I ate my way through Campus Corner, I bought a huge supply of instant coffee that I probably will never use and I played starting offensive line in an intermural flag football game. I also got nothing accomplished and nothing checked off my checklist. But I had a day that rivaled a field trip day in elementary school. Nothing was planned but I was still surrounded by my best friends and I could definitely tell a few stories here. My day began with this…

     11:45- Once I have walked aimlessly around the Kappa house, where I live, for about 20 minutes after class I usually decide to run errands. I go by myself to be effective. This day I went to Homeland Grocery Store where I discussed the perils of having terrible cigarette tasting coffee in the Kappa house every morning. The grocer asked me if I wanted to try buying instant coffee. I of course had to agree and next thing I knew I had boug an entore Instant Coffee set with every flavor because I couldn’t turn down his offer to buy it all on sale! I am going to start passing the packets out to anyone who will take them because what else am I suppose to do with 75 packets alone of Hazelnut Coffee?
    
      12:30 –I’m still in the midst of trying to tackle my do to list of errands when my friend Emily calls me. She asked if I had eaten lunch and when I told her I hadn’t she asked me to join her at campus Corner at Café Plaid. I was on a tight schedule but I agreed and ate with her. In the midst of lunch I actually got another call from a friend I hadn’t seen in forever who wanted to meet for lunch as well. Emily didn’t understand why I couldn’t just say no but I told her it was a long story and I was really obligated. So I ran over to Blackbird for my second lunch. I could barely move after eating so much and seriously debated turning my phone off to avoid another dreaded call.

     4:00 Around this house I ran into the girl in charge of intermurals at Kappa. She is always on everyone’s tail to get girls to participate in the various sports, but as usual we try and skip around it because half of us couldn’t catch a football if our lives depended on it. This time though I had no choice and agreed to play staring offensive line in the game that afternoon. However; the game turned out to be a lot of fun as a majority of people showed up and I didn’t have to do anything but run around and act like I wasn’t open to reduce the risk of the ball actually being thrown to me. Easy enough! Afterwards, our picture got taken to be posted in a new Greek newspaper. So, now I’m famous!
