Bonfires and Stampedes

Last night I'd have to say was a highlight to the week. Especially since this afternoon I took a quiz that was basically a test, in a recitation for world music. That class sucks and we were not given a lot of material that was on the test. Anyway, the Carolina victory was a highlight.

As soon as the game was over, I told all my room mates to get out of the room and get to Franklin Street where the party was starting. It was pretty funny, because when we walked out onto the steps of Granville, the whole east side of Franklin street had already been overrun by students and police officers. So I put on my ninja shoes (my room mate calls my TOMs shoes ninja shoes), and ran all the way to Franklin Street. Ahhh what a wonderful sight to see all the students chanting and firing up bonfires and jumping over them. A friend down the hall told me he burnt his undershirt for the heck of it. The funny thing was that, as all of you no I am not of the tallest height, I couldn't hardly see anything that was going on in the crowd because I had some huge people in front of me. Plus, push came to shove and I was getting tossed around like a rag doll on the street since everyone was trying to knock people over to see the huge bonfire (that someone make with an old christmas tree). So of course I was knocked over too. Regardless, I had a really fun night.

Besides that, I joined a flag football team for the intramural league and I am way excited for it. I've played football since I was in 2nd grade, except for the last two years since the coaches didn't like how big I was (Hah!). We practiced today and then got kicked off by the air force. Way to go.
