I didn't really end up getting up until 8:04 I remember this because it was one minute before my alarm was suppose to go off. Immediately after getting up i walked to the bathroom relised myself and then took a shower. I showered right next to a kid on my floor named Max and it was kind of interesting because he kept on moving the shower curtains and then made weird noises. After my shower i went back to my room got dressed, and realized I really needed to do some laundry. I was in a real moral dilemma, really all of my close were dirty except the one stupid shirt that i really hate. The question was should i wear dirty close and take the risk of being smelly al day or wear the shirt I hate. I figured that I was going to go skiing anyways so i just decided to go with the dirty clothes. When the clothing situation was resolved, i had some big task ahead of me; going to breakfast, and brushing my teeth. My teeth were the first of these thing to get completed, because it doesn't make much since for one to walk to the swag, eat, and then walk all the way back just to clean the molars. So the brushing of the teeth maybe wasn't actually that big of a deal, but the was no cap on my tooth paste from the night before so my tooth paste was a little bit crusty. Also while i was brushing my teeth i heard my first reference to ground hogs day for the day, on the radio i think kglt it was announced that the ground hog saw its shadow and there would be six more week of winter. I thought to myself "it happens". I was finally ready to make my way to breakfast.
On my way out of my building i got mildly distracted, even though i was leaving my room at 8:32 which is extremely late because i have to eat and my class is at nine. ( It's hard to have a nie conversation and eat a healthy breakfast in 15 minutes.) I was distracted because I had to print of a pre lab for the chemistry lab that i had to go to at 9, also there was no one in the elevator when i rode it this morning just a stupid thing about how much some id loves smoking. Anyways when I was printing off my lab i began to talk to Gail the really nice front desk lady we talked about how its stupid that people get annoyed when you accidently ask them if they ski when really they snowboard. My paper got finished printing just in the knick of time really by now it was 8.39, and i was really getting far behind on my eating schedule. I walked to the swag and there a whole new aspect of my day awaited.
Walking to the swag was extremely uneventful maybe even monotonous, but when i got there the options just began to fly at me. Firstly i used my hand scan to get in which isn't really new because i do that everyday but right when I walked into the threshold i immediately had to make the decision on what should i eat this morning. I had been craving one of Kathy's omelets all day but when i realized it was a chile omelet I decided against it. I figured the consequences of a chile omelet would be considerably greater then the rewards. When I went across the way and saw what they were serving on the other side which was french toast sticks and sausage figured that would also not sit in my stomach very well. In the end i figured cereal would be my best bet. I got fruit loops with skim milk accompanied by a cup of water and cranberry juice on the side. After I got all of my food i sat down alone were I ate and half expectedly waited for someone to come and sit with me. I got my wish, my friend's Harry, Alex, and Isaac all joined my conversation and we had a nice breakfast chat. They were going to go skiing so we talked about maybe meeting up, there were other conversation but really it is probably so cliche that i won't even mention what was said in my blog. After I was done eating I looked at my phone and saw that it was 8:51 and that i was really going to have to hurry to get to my lab, so i immediately stood up cleared my tray and left the dining hall with out anything really to note.
I left the dorm area and started walking to class it was a little cold outside, and I got off the a snow trail to let someone pass but thats all that really happened on the walk. I got into my lab an the first thing i was greeted with was "what's your names again?", my TA had to make sure that i was given the partition points for come to lab. As soon as she said this i realized that i forgot my lab glasses so I snuck over to her desk and snagged a pair so that I wouldn't have to be sent home, then i took my spot. The lab was decently explained to us we took a quiz (which I missed number 2 on) and then i began to do my work. This wasn't that bad because I have two reasonably smart lab partners so we were able to do the entire thing pretty fast. Th point of the lab was to measure the freezing temp of p-xylene solute with different solvents in it such as ethanol toluene and three unknown (by the way I didn't look at my lab notes for the information). We did the work pretty smoothly mostly i just walked around, picked up stuff and measured it. We did our work nothing went wrong until the last experiment with the p-xylene and the ethanol, we had huge errors, and when we were going to run the experiment again my friend from another class came in and told me that it was suppose to get messed up so we didn't need to do another experiment. I was done with the lab an hour early which gave me just enough time to go and eat lunch before i went skiing.
I went to lunch with my friend that helped me out with the lab Preston. We went to the Langford dining hall because that was the one that was closest to our current location. When we went in there the whole dining hall was pretty empty so there was plenty of room to hang our backpacks on hooks. My friend went to he bathroom while i once again hand scanned into the dining hall. Upon entering the dining hall this time I knew exactly what i wanted, a double cheese burger with bacon. I went over to the grill lady and asked her as nicely as i possible could if i could have one, and guess what? She said yes. As soon as she finished making it i saw the special was mushroom swiss which disappointed me so much because i love shroom swiss burgers. I got my food a cup of chocolate milk and then sat down, Preston didn't like where i sat so then we moved. During lunch we had some interesting conversation about religion. It started because I said we should make a movie about the rapture and then have god get killed by humans hitting him with a nuke. I said this would prove that we have once and for all become our own masters. This really offended Preston i knew it would, thats why i said it, so for the rest of lunch i definitely had the most thought provoking conversation of my day. Although this conversation like this blog could go on forever it eventually had to end, I had to get up skiing so I could go up skiing and meet my other friend Travis with his car.
I went back to the dorms get all of my ski stuff on. Really this was super easy because i had left it in a pile from the last time that I went skiing. Miraculously nothing even had molded, that the problem with leaving wet ski stuff in a pile. After i began to head for the car. I got into the elevator someone else was in there a very normal conversation happened.
Stranger: Bridger?
Me: Yes
Both of us: kind of stared at the ground waiting to get of the elevator.
So the ride finally ended as these thing seem to do, and I began my trek to the car.
It was on the other side of the Roskie parking lots, as soon as i saw it my heart sunk a little, I was so boxed in I figured it would take at least twenty attempts to get it unstuck. I got to the car put my ski stuff in there, the boots i accidentally threw to hard and got into the backseat, it didn't matter i was driving alone. I got into the drivers seat and began to work my way out of the tight situation I was in, eventually i escaped with only mild dents on all three cars. I began to drive the music was playing and it was terrible i guess some girl gave him this mix-tape and it was some of the worst Brittany Spears pop genre music I have ever heard but thats all there was in the car so i had to live with it. I drove down 11th until I hit Babcock and drove Babcock to Rouse. I took Rouse to the highway between here and Bridger. During this time period i don't even really think that i thank about anything. I made sure not to look at the whale though because that is terrible luck, and no one needs bad luck skiing it doesn't matter how good you are. I made it to Bridger in one piece, passing one car along the way the roads weren't icy but when i got up there a huge disesion arose where to park. I went big and got a spot right in the front row, man I felt lucky. Not looking at the whale payed off. I put one all of my ski stuff for some reason i became extra dirty grabbing my skis off the top of the car but that didn't really matter. I walked to the lodge and met with Travis, I knew my day was going to get exciting.
When i saw Travis for the first time today we was eating a corn-dog which he announced was the only food that was worth eating while on the mountain. We told me his story of the morning which was actually really interesting, but I will not tell it here because that is his story and this is mine, afterward we both decided that we were more then ready to ski. We decided to go over to Slushmans lift first because thats were the skiing had been the best all morning. We rode one chairlift then another and we ended up seeing Isaac, a pleasent surprise. We skied over to Slushmans and then skied one run with him. During the run we decided to do some Hollywood cliffs (right under the chair. First Isaac went and landed, then Travis and he stomped it, then me I just happened to land where one of my other friends had bombed out and hit the ground and exploded i guess i did a pretty good tomahawk down the run for a bit. The rest of the day of skiing was a blast we did lost of singing lots of jumping but mostly just lots of messing around, I would tell every detail of the ski day but it would take at least this much or more space and i just have run out of the energy to do that. After we went skiing we went to the bars and got a pitcher. The reason i say this is not to try and drive attention to myself we just would have never did what we did next without its slight influance over us.
On the way down from the ski hill some how me and Travis came to the decision that he needed cat. We talked about how awesome it would be if he had one that could jump really high and that we could make back flip and that we could generally just play with. I mean even though it is a living animal it is essentially a toy. So after talking it over and deciding that he needed a cat really badly, we decide to go the humane society and adopt one. This was a bout a twenty minute detour and when we got there we weren't allowed to adopt one, I mean tons of them where cute and definitely if we had the opportunity we would have gotten one then and there, but the lady wouldn't give one to us. I don't if it was because we were wearing ski gear or the fact that Travis was hiccuping the entire time that we where talking to the lady. So defeated I was driven back to the dorms with little conversation. (the damn cd was playing the whole time).
When I got back to the dorms I left all of my ski stuff in Travis's car because I really always ski with him. I took the elevator up stairs, striped off y outer wear and then began to write this blog. I have been writing this blog for the last hour and fifteen minutes in that time i have gotten up to get water one and now I am some how in my boxer i don't really know how that happened. Thats the only part of the day that i really forget, is while i was writing this. I know that the day is not over and i have some more of ground hogs day to live but i really can't devote anymore of my meager existence to this blog. Today was not a great day it was not bad but it was one less day that i have to live. I really this entire blog is read by someone because it did take me a long time to write it. I could have put in more detail i remember it i just don't have the devotion to give this task its true justice.
Don't worry, I read your blog. I thought you put a LOT of detail into it. Good job! I wasn't bored either. Sounds like you had a normal, but fun day.
