STRANGER times at WCCC

Okay. Holy crap.

I meant to post on Wednesday, then on Thursday (with Wednesday's intended post combined into it), then I meant to post both of them on Friday, then Saturday... today, damnit, I'm finally going to get this crap written. XD

So first, Wednesday.

Wednesday, the weather sucked amazingly - ice and rain and icy rain and snow and slush and all that stuff you really don't want to have to drive in. But, naturally, I DID have to drive in it, because I have college classes on Wednesdays. Luckily, I remembered to call the college first and make sure they weren't cancelling; not because they were, but because they ended up opening at 10:00 AM instead of 8:00 AM like usual. So I went back to bed for a bit and then got on my way at around quarter after nine.

Well, at that point, I was vastly underestimating the craptasticness of the driving conditions I was in, and it took me all of maybe thirty seconds before I managed to swerve my car into a 360-spin going downhill - two times, the whole way around, into a snowbank facing the wrong way.

As soon as the car stopped in the bank, my thought process was as follows:
"Woah."
"Oh damnit, I can't go forward."
"Jesus, I hope I don't have to call Dad and tell him this..."
"Oh, thank you, car... I can go backwards."
After that, I got my self pointing the right way again, and continued, slowly, to WCCC.

I reached the college without further incident, and pulled in at the same time as Raven. She told me to go in ahead of her while she called her mom to let her know she had arrived safely. However, when she came in, she informed me that, at the exact moment we were pulling in, the college had changed their late opening from 10:00 AM to noon. Needless to say, this was at least mildly aggravating. Why the hell couldn't they have just done that to start with? Now we were there two hours early for no reason!

After a little griping, we went up to an empty computer classroom where we worked on one of Raven's speeches for her public speaking class and I did some editing work for the Campus Racket. Then we screwed around on the internet for a bit. Then I went to look for Jeebler (or Mr. Jeremy Beeler) to see if he could get me out of that radio class. Turned out he wouldn't be in until noon. Okay. I could live with that. So we hung out, did work, et cetera, et cetera. In all honesty, the college is kind of fun with most of the student population absent and everyone just kinda hanging out and having fun.

So noon came; we decided to go out to lunch at a local diner since all of my classes had been effectively cancelled, and Raven's only classes didn't start until 2:00 PM. Lunch was good, and we got back and I checked for Jeebler again.

Now he was in a meeting until three.

*sigh*

Okay. Did more hanging out. After Raven went off to class, I started downloading some music onto my laptop in the library. At three, I checked again, and FINALLY caught Jeebler, got myself out of the radio class (hooray!), and signed up for the art history PowerPack in April. Cool. Got all that done.

I also ran into Professor Hillyer; she told me to track down Mr. Homa and ask him about getting someone to do layout for the paper. Turned out he wouldn't be in until 5:00 PM. So I hung out until then, talked to people, et cetera. Five came, and I found out it wasn't FIVE, it was actually five THIRTY. Hung out until five THIRTY, and finally found out that... Mr. Homa wasn't showing up. Damnit. So I left him a message and FINALLY went home.

So that was Wednesday. XD

Next I'll write up Thursday, but first I'm posting this separately before I decide to edit it or something.
