Despite it being my one day off that week, Wyatt and I awoke early (9am) to make our way to Back Bay Bagel. We each had a gift certificate there, so we sat in peace devouring our bagels and juice.
Back on campus, we retreated to my room for the USA World Cup game on my big screen. We sat in dread until the first minute of extra time when the USA team scored a goal that sent them to the next round and saved them from elimination! We went nuts!
Wyatt left soon after and I spent the afternoon left with nothing to do...
...so naturally I indulged my passions: clean clothing and Bruce Springsteen. As the purple knee-socks spun in the dryer cycle, I laid on my bed watching the new Bruce concert DVD that had come in the mail for me. Eventually, my rest turned into a full-on nap. I really needed it.
I woke up around 3:30pm and showered and dressed for our 4pm "meeting". Every year on our day-off, the PM team organizes a trip to do something fun. Last year, we stayed on campus and did karaoke. This year, we met to find that we were going to Starland Recreation Center. It about 30 minutes away and has mini-golf, go-carts, laser tag, etc.
A few of us piled into my car as we hopped on Route 3 to find the place. Once there, we got right in line for the laser tag. I showed off my stealthy moved honed from years playing NERF around the house...by myself. What got me was they didn't keep score!!?? Are you kidding me?!
Go-carts and I normally don't mix very well; I almost seem to crash them or have some time of incident that almost gets me banned. However, I climbed into this one, looking around at the unsuspecting tween workers who have no idea of my history.
Thankfully, no incidents this time. Afterward, we hit up the batting cages and even some mini-golf.
We capped the evening off with a sno-cone and soon we were back on campus getting ready for Round 2. Nicole and I hung name-tags up, we went over the grid, and soon I retreated to my bed for an attempt at some sleep.Here we go again...
