Stressful Week Turned into a Great Weekend

Last week was a very stressful week for me. I had three exams and a quiz. I spent my entire week studying and did nothing fun. On Tuesday I studied for about eight hours for my biology exam and I thought I did fairly well on it. When I got my grade, I was very angry to find out I got a D on it. This ticked me off so much and almost considered dropping the class. After my quiz at the Math Emporium on Friday I was so ready for the weekend and I knew it was going to be a good one.

When I got back to my dorm after going to the Math Emporium, I decided I wanted to go shopping. I took a shower and got ready so I could go to the mall. My friend, Mike, went with me because he has a truck and I didn’t bring my car with me. When we arrived at the mall we went to Dick’s first. I did not even care about money so I bought a North Face jacket that cost 165 dollars. Next, I went to Lady Foot Locker because I wanted to get some Chucks. I tried on one pair and I loved them. When I looked for the price, it turns out they were two for 80 dollars so I bought another pair. I signed up for some VIP thing and got 30 percent off, so my shoes ended up being pretty cheap. After this Mike and I ate dinner and then headed back to campus. I was ready to have some fun so I texted my friend, Brittany, and told her I wanted to hang out.

So Friday night I went to Radford with Brittany and another one of my friends, Erin. Brittany had a friend, Ellie, from back home that had an apartment there so we stayed there that night. When we got to Ellie’s apartment there were about ten people there. Everyone was hanging out and having a good time. Brittany and I went back to Ellie’s room and noticed that she had a Nintendo. We were so excited because when Brittany and I were younger we played the Nintendo all the time. Of course we turned it on and played it. Everyone started to watch and they were amazed at all the secrets we knew to the game. We only played for a few minutes because we were going to a different party. The night was awesome and I couldn’t wait for Saturday to begin.

Saturday morning Brittany, Erin, and I woke up and went back to campus to get ready for the football game. It just happened to be Brittany’s birthday so we were all really excited for the day. Unfortunately Erin got really sick and couldn’t go to the game with us, but it’s probably a good thing because she would have felt way worse in the rain. Brittany and I left her apartment at about 2:45 thinking we would have plenty of time to get there before the game started. The traffic was awful so we didn’t get to see the beginning of the game. It just so happened that our seats were at the very top so we had to walk up so many steps. It was very fun because this is the first football game I’ve been to. We were going to leave after half time, but we got so into the game that we decided to stay the whole time. It was rainy and cold throughout the whole game, but it was so fun. After the first quarter, this girl sitting by us started throwing up because she was drunk so her whole group left. They left a poncho on the bleachers so I put it on in hopes of not getting anymore wet. That didn’t really block the rain though because it was pouring and by the end of the game Brittany and I were both soaked from head to toe. So as everyone already knows we kicked Miami’s butt and the game was awesome.

After the game, Brittany and I went back to her apartment where we got ready for her birthday party. So many people showed up to the party and it was really fun. I was outside talking to people when my sister showed up. I was so excited because I hadn’t seen her in awhile and I had forgotten she was visiting one of her friends. She stayed for awhile and we caught up on things, but then she had to leave so we said our goodbyes. Around 2:30 or 3 in the morning people had pretty much left and there were only a few people left. The pool for Brittany’s apartment complex is right next to hers so I decided I wanted to go swimming. I knew it would be cold, but I didn’t care. So I put my bathing suit on and jumped right in. It was so cold and I didn’t stay in long. There is a hot tub right next to the pool so I got in it and it felt so good. I finally went to bed around four in the morning and I slept until 1:00 today. I was sad that I had to come back to my dorm and do homework because I really didn’t want to. My weekend was so great and hopefully next weekend will be just as great.
