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!
