A while ago my older sister informed me that she would be hosting a graduation party for here husband on a Saturday night. Knowing that this party would include a pig roast, multiple games of dominoes, a keg, AND my entire firmly? I was pretty bummed that I was going to miss it.
I have a class on Saturdays that is all day, but it's only 5 weeks long so it wasn't as if I could skip a class. Usually I'd just drive down later and stay a few days, but I had an 8:00 AM flight out of Tampa Monday and needed to be back on Sunday. I left my house Saturday morning at 7:00 AM to get to class on time and prepare myself for the day. As my professor was giving her morning announcements, I was trying really hard to pay attention. The second she stated, "leave early" my ears whipped to attention. Leave early? At 2:30? Great!
After listening to the buzz of excitement throughout the room she informed us that we were to meet with our groups to prepare our presentations. Thoughts lingered about whether or not I should drive down to Miami just for the night, but I quickly pushed them out of the way when I thought about how ridiculous it was. When I met with my group during lunch to discuss our meeting after class (Yes, I am aware this was a meeting about a meeting.) they decided to meet on a Thursday evening instead. My Saturday had been freed up!
I hopped into my car and was on the road by 3:00. I didn't tell anyone I was coming - a surprise! As I was about halfway there a thought crept into my head... I had no clean underwear, no toothbrush, clothes... NOTHING. Luckily, I knew that my sister would come through for me.
It stinks that I missed out on seeing some of my friends, but I was only in town for 16 hours and 6 of them were spent sleeping. Next time!
