Memories

Now that some time has passed since the end of summer I thought I'd just did down and commit to word everything I remember. Things might not be chronologically correct and I may even leave some things out. That's ok. So here we go turning back the hands of time to May 12, 2008:

I finished my last final and packed up the rest of my crap. My dad was able to make it on to ticketmaster during my final and get tickets to the Stevie Wonder concert. I hung around my room until 10 or so then walked down to 2000 Comm to leave my crap at George's. A cab driver helped me out with the bags and I got set up with no problems. From there I went to 20 South where we started drinking and then headed to the Fine House. I soon realized that if I kept drinking I'd be screwed because I had an early flight out. So after a bit I walked back to George's ordered Roogie's and watched the Notorious BIG story. Called a cab and made it to Logan. Got on the plane and headed home. Once there I had to help move some stuff for my cousin then I picked Shane up and we went to the HBC. I remember that was the first time I had seen Shane after he got his haircut. I met Koston and Patrick then we made a necessary La Pinata run.

The next day I went to the SI Chorale Concert and my brother's track dinner. At the time I was reading Live From New York. Thursday morning I flew to San Diego for Sun God. I drank way too much that Friday and passed out for three hours. Kevin and Rachel got crazy messed up which was even funnier. I never saw Sean Kingston. We did go for Mexican food in Old Town that evening.

Got back to Alameda and got a haircut on Monday the 19th. It was my first haircut is over a year. The 20th was Jury Duty which was a waste of time. Starting the 21st Shane and I conducted CIT interviews. We looked damn fine in those suits.

On the 27th I again flew to San Diego. This time with Katie who was up for the weekend. I forgot my cell phone which was kinda crazy. The evening of the 28th Kevin and I went to a Padres' game. It was my first time in the stadium and I really liked it. Katie and I went to the USS Midway and toured it. She also had a sorority dance. Things were pretty crazy but I had some mean tea so it was all good. Got back that Sunday and just hung around for a week.

June 8th was Ryan's birthday and we went to Taylor's in the ferry building. Next day was the staff meeting for camp. I didn't remember ever meeting Julie and for the longest time I couldnt tell Kiley or Lacey.

At some point, probably before this, Stacy came home and she, Shane, and I played Marg pong for the first time. That was a beautiful creation.

Now comes camp which tends to just all blend in together so now I really know I'm going to be jumping around.

We opened on the 16th. I had a meeting at Cal that day. The field trip was bowling. It was whatever. Not a bad way to open up the season. Some time around there we all went to La Pinata and Chappy got stuck paying $35 and she was pissed. We went to Hannah Greenburg's that night and had gotten skunked at Chappy's so we all took a shower. I got mad drunk and put gin in the beer. I talked to Tommy for 20 minutes not realizing he was passed out. Shane and I worked the grill for the first smokey time.

Week 2 brought the movie theater which is by far the sickest field trip ever imagined. Kung Fu Panada was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Week 3 came out of nowhere and it seemed as though time was moving at a crazy pace. We went onboard the USS Pampanito and that is all that needs to be said about that. Friday brought the 4th of July which was by far the best 4th I've ever had. It started with the parade and my dad. A sort of tradition that has formed. Then the HBC crew made their way over and things just got silly. Brittany threw up in my garage or however you want to put it. We rode bikes around and made it to Chappy's then came the murder of Aquatics. I also got to take care of Maddie.

Week 4 and beyond in a bit.
