A play-by-play of Spring Weekend 2009

Spring Weekend Journal: 4/25/09

8:00 p.m.

Oh boy! Spring Weekend! I can't wait! I've heard nothing but good things about it, and now I can finally go! I've got my beers in my bag, right next to my first aid kit. You know, gotta be safe. Responsible fun, whoopie!

8:17 p.m.

Wow! X Lot has so many people! My friends left before I could set up our buddy system. I should probably find a buddy quick. Maybe I shouldn't have asked to hold hands.

8:41 p.m.

What a cultural experience X Lot is! A bunch of people were playing Brazilian music using authentic instruments. A bunch of people were dancing to the music, but I'm pretty sure grinding isn't part of ancient Brazilian dance. But I could be wrong. I probably should have asked one of them.

9:03 p.m.

I ran into one of my classmates from Chemistry. He introduced me to his friend, who was visiting from Michigan State. I asked him how he liked Spring Weekend, and he said he was unimpressed. He then asked me why I was wearing kneepads. I told him it was because I heard people fall over a lot at X Lot. The two of them walked away, I imagine to get themselves their own pair.

9:34 p.m.

Wow! I just saw Wolverine! I didn't know my childhood hero would be here! X Lot just keeps getting better and better. I went over to shake his hand. He told me to have fun and stay safe. Fear not Wolverine!

9:59 p.m.

Some people were singing "I'm on a Boat" incredibly loud by pole five. I tried to join in, but I forgot some of the words. I think I'll go hang out with those people singing "Beauty and the Beast." "Gaston" is my favorite song.

10:15 p.m.

I found a girl from my class, and I started talking to her and her friend. They made fun of my kneepads, but you know what's really unattractive? Scars. On your knees.

10:20 PM

I found the guy from Michigan State again. Apparently everyone found out where he was from, and chased him around X-lot. I found him upside down in a makeshift basketball hoop. I guess Hasheem dunked him.

10:30 PM

Ah! AHHHHH! I just got pushed into a pricker bush! Who's idea was it to have a huge party near such a dangerous plant?

11:21 PM

I just got back from the medical station. I got in line three times to make sure they patched up all my scratches. They wouldn't let me get in line a fourth time. I tried to patch myself up, but someone stole my gauze and proceeded to wrap one of his friends up in it. Well, at least the guy is probably safer than he was before. I'm glad I brought the industrial size.

11: 38 PM

Someone asked how much I had to drink, and I said I had my two beers. He laughed at me and produced a bottle of Jack Daniel's. He ordered me to drink it. I told him only if he would be my hand holding buddy. Luckily, he consented.

11:39 PM

Wow. Whiskey is pretty strong.

11:67 PM

Woooo! Spring Weekend!

9:45 AM

I just woke up in my room. I can't really remember how I got here. Someone covered my face in Wolverine Band-Aids. Also, my kneepads are gone. I guess whoever took them wanted to skateboard at Spring Weekend. Good for them.
