#bestweekendofever

this weekend started much like any other weekend. i slept in, showered, and got dressed. from that point on it veered in a very different direction than any other weekend. this weekend, kelsey shorey and i were visiting one of our best friends, kara (@{{::heartbeats::}}) at college. and it was a surprise.

the morning didn't start out too well. luke had taken the car that i needed, i spilled tea on myself, and i forgot my camera at home (for which i'm still beating myself up). however, i successfully picked up kelsey and we were off!

we got lost. but since i'm a fast driver, it was ok. we got to Gordon only about 15 minutes later than planned. kara's roommate chelsea, who had helped my plan the weekend, met us and in the parking lot and let us in the dorm. kara was in the phone with her dad in the lounge, so we snuck into her room and made ourselves comfortable. in a few minutes, we heard her coming down the hall, still on the phone. the door opened.

"Hey guys."

what. are you kidding me? seriously? we plan this surprise visit for months, and sneak in here, and all you have to say is "hey guys"?? who spilled?! dang, this is disappointing!

all these thoughts went through my head in about the span of one second. however, my brief disappointment was changed to glee, as kara did a wide eyed double take, and said, "what?!"

we then erupted into laughter.

"umm, dad i think i'm gunna have to call you back. siobhan and kelsey are i my room."

thus began the best weekend of ever. it was amazing. we met people, sang, chilled, danced, ate, texted secrets across the table, and made many memories.

a list of firsts:

-all-nighter!! me and kelsey stayed up all night talking. and we weren't even tired. kara was with us till about 2, but she couldn't handle the awesome that is an all nighter with kelsey shorey and siobhan mclernon.

-watching the sun rise on the highway while I was driving. i've watched the sunrise on the highway plenty of times, but never while i was the driver. after talking all night, we realized we had no gas. so at 6 we moseyed on down to the gas station. which was approximately 5 miles away from the exit. we stressed. but then we got coffee so it was ok.

-dance party! with a bunch of people i don't know. it was fantastic.

-jello shot. don't worry, it was non-alcoholic.

-competing in sing star. kara beat me in "sweet home alabama" (in my defense, i didn't know the song...) and won on "kiss me". twas grand.

-deactivated my facebook. never thought i'd do this.

-got a slave. kelsey is now the "official slave of the year"

-boxed. with boxing gloves. i think it's safe to say i'm the undisputed champion.

i enjoyed every second. i liked everyone i met, my relationships with my friends got deeper, i felt the spirit move, i fellowshiped so much, i beat everyone who tried to arm wrestle me, played guitar, and had so much fun it was probably illegal. i want to transfer. this will definitely go down in the annals of history as the #bestweekendofever
