Mixed Day, I guess

Well, today was an interesting day.


So last night I got some solid sleep, which was different than the rest of the week. I guess I'm getting back to feeling comfortable in my bed here. Anyway, this morning I heard back on my GRE results and I got a 6 on the Analytical Writing section (It's on a 1-6 scale)! So that was actually amazing. That made me quite happy, but it was a bit dreary, so I headed to the library. I got a decent amount of work done, but I was sort of inefficient. I have so much writing to do for these applications to seminary, and a lot of the writing questions are unique for each school.

But either way, Drury Men's Basketball came from behind to defeat the Lewis Lew-sers, or whatever they are. It was a great game to go to and there is something so great about cheering at sports events like basketball. There is so much excitement and yelling (my voice hurts a lot from the two back to back games and last night's party).

So after that I came home, did some more work, then I went out to pick up a nostalgic video game. Anyone who is familiar with the Twisted Metal dynasty understands. So we went to this amazing store called Vintage Stock, found the game, and also found the elusive Ghostrider #24 and Marvel back issues were buy one, get one free! So I got 2 Ghostrider's and 2 Captain America's for six dollars. If you know anything about comic books or back issues, you know that's a great deal. So I was happy about that...

Well, we decided to go to get food at Jimmy John's. And for some reason, I was so excited about getting my delicious vegetarian sub with avocado spread that I left the keys in the car... Wow, I was absolutely frustrated. So luckily I was with people who had an Smart Phone (Thanks Nic/Brian) and we contacted a locksmith to come unlock my car.... for 60 flipping dollars!?!?! Exploitation at its finest...

Anyway, the guy shows up, opens my car and says to me "Alright, that will be $65." I'm sure my face was priceless because I was already livid that I had to pay $60 to get the car opened, and now I was going to have to pay more? I said something to the effect of "Are you serious, you told me on the phone $60." Well, he relented and said $60 would be fine, so I guess he thought I was made of money and wanted to get a little extra out of me. Little did he know he had me wait in the rain for 15+ minutes to pay $60 dollars do make up for a stupid mistake... he was not getting any of my generosity... And to top it off, Twisted Metal Black for the PS2 was waaaaay more frustrating than I remember... So let's add all of that up:

+ Great GRE Writing score
-/+ Semi-productive at the library
+ Drury defeats Lewis
+ Bought Twisted Metal Black for $5
+ Got Buy One, Get One Marvel back issues, filled in Ghostrider collection
- Locked keys in car, paid $60 to have a jerk to unlock it
- Twisted Metal Black fairly frustrating

Well, I guess it looks like it was good day, but man, it was an expensive day...
