Yesterday was a day off! Yay! Slept in until 10… and I totally could have slept longer. I don’t know if I should take advantage of all the time I have right now and fill up my sleep tanks or see whatever I can around here. They’re telling us this is the most free-time to expect while in NCCC (which is kind of a joke when you’re going 17 hours a day) but at the same time, in a while I’ll be in Mendocino or on SPIKE which will automatically mean I have interesting things to see.
One thing I did see was… a TWO- STORY WALMART!!! Tucker, Josh, Shea, Ashley, and I had heard a rumor about one being around here. So we went to lunch at Panera and headed out in search of the mythical giant. It was kind of hilarious and quite a waste of space, as most Walmarts are. But we sure had fun on the escalators! There's a special one just for your cart!

It gets kinda crowded in the car. Good thing we like each other!
Two-story WALMART!
We spent the rest of the afternoon in Josh and Tucker’s room watching The Office while we waited for Tucker to get out of NCCC van driving class. Reasons I didn’t want to be a van driver: (a) they’re huge! And I’m used to driving little cars now, (b) I didn’t want to have to parallel park it- I can’t even parallel park a regular car all that well, and (c) I didn’t want to drive on unknown highways in an unknown state, I get lost enough in Texas. Plus the added responsibility of having 9-12 people in the van. Nope nope nope.
When Tucker was finally out of class we went to In-and-Out Burger for dinner. Honestly, I don’t get the hype. I guess it’s kind of like WhatABurger for Texans. It’s such an amazing thing because it’s from our state. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the food and all, it just wasn’t the best burger I’ve ever had. It just wasn’t a WhatABurger. Le sigh.
On the way to our next adventure, Ashley decided we should play P-diddle. Don’t ask me why it’s called that, but the game is: whenever someone in the car sees a car with a head/taillight out they raise their hand, hit the roof and say “P-diddle!” the last person to do so has to remove an article of clothing. No one became completely naked, thank god, but it got rather dicey there towards the end, and we did have to cheat a bit to ensure that everyone was some-what covered. I only lost my shirt but thankfully I was wearing a tank-top underneath. From now on when we go out in Shea's car I'll be wearing a lot of layers!
It was pretty funny to get out of the car at the Laser X parking lot and have everyone scramble to put their shirts on. We had made plans to go laser tagging but after eating all that fast food we agreed it wouldn’t be the best idea to run around in a dark, smoky room. So went cosmic bowling instead.
Game 1 (I got 85)
Game 2 (I got 74)
After our two games, we’ve decided that we kinda suck at the “sport”. And I had to go and mention that I was in a college bowling class at the beginning of our games. Lame-o.
Today I don't know what I'll be doing. It's a day off again so I slept in until 9:30. Like I said, the boys can't leave campus because they're on duty so... maybe do something outside-ish? It's so nice to go outside and just lay in the grass. No fire ants here! I guess I could just rest up for PT tomorrow morning. Defenitely going to bed super early tonight!
