A Beautiful Mess: Wednesday

Wednesday

Wednesday my friend B picked me up, we had big plans.

We headed to my house to pick up my equipment and a snack for later, but B's car was acting weird. Twice, while at a stoplight the car wouldn't go, we started to freak out, then we just turned the engine off then back on. It was a little scary, but we laughed about it later. When we made it to my house I ran inside, grabbed my bag, tripod, and a snack and we headed out and met up with B's mom to switch cars.

It was "Happy Hour" at Sonic, so we headed to get slushies and an ice-cream with my gift card.

B had two perfect dollar bills, she gave me one and we took pictures. Weird, I know.

We were driving to the college when we realized how dumb we were to have bought ice cream since we were about to workout. We decided to put it in her locker and run first.

We ran our mile then went back to eat the cream of ice...very slowly.

We took a walk around campus and decided to visit the memorial wall for our friend who passed away recently. The students had taped a sign and some notes of remembrance on a wall in the commons, it was really sweet.

After our ice cream had settled we headed to the racquetball courts. Playing racquetball is always tons of fun because I am no good at it. Our game was cut a little short because during my follow-through I hit my other arm with the racket and whacked the back of my hand. I busted out laughing and fell down (both from pain and laughter). Bethany was worried because it bruised really quickly and my vain or something was swollen.

I was fine, but it was swelling and I was tired from running so we stopped playing.

We went on to the next thing, the thing I love most...

Photography!!

The grass on campus, greener than envy, enthralled me.

So off we strode towards adventure.

I was taking pictures of the bridge when something caught my eye...

It was a gnome who had assumed his position guarding the bridge. He was so cute!!

I named him Poppy.

more on poppy soon.

We took pictures of Poppy, then we finished up some more pictures on the bridge.

We tried to take jumping pictures, but mine didn't come out the way I wanted. We had so much fun though. :)

Next we drove to the park and set up a picnic.

I took this interesting photo.

We had a snack of Nutella with pretzels and chips with guacamole while we did our homework. It was a very nice study session, the weather was beautiful, but then we were swarmed with mosquitoes so we left.
