Spring break was last week. It was too soon and too short. I was on campus almost the whole time because I was on duty.

During break, there was a small grease fire on the second floor of Living Center North. There was fire damage only in one room but the sprinkler system went off in every room in that hall. And the water dripped down to the first floor too. The doors to all of those rooms had to be left open to facilitate drying. Wednesday night, I stayed up all night at the LCN Front Desk making everyone who entered the building sign in. The next night, first floor was pretty much dry so I was up on second floor watching just those rooms.

Friday morning, I got my hair cut. It's been a few months since the last time.

Yesterday, I went out to lunch with Kristy from high school. Fun stuff.

Later that night, I went out with Mike, Mel, Darren, Liz, Tony, Rob, Matt and Carl (not my new roomie but Darren's friend). We went to Grampa Tony's in Bay City. They have awesome food there. I forgot my doggy bag in Mike's fridge. :(

After we got back, everybody (sans-Mel) went up to Mike and Darren's room and they set up for a LAN party. I wasn't participating, though. At around 11:15 or so, the gaming was just getting started and I decided to leave. Tony came back with me and crashed on my couch.

This morning, I was supposed to be judging a Forensics tournament at Midland High School. But I had an accident.

I was heading west on US-10 and got off at the down-town Midland exit. As soon as I turned onto the ramp, I started slowing down (that's what they're for, right?) and then I hit some snow or ice or something and started fish-tailing. I thought I was doing OK until my back end whipped around, the back left side hit the guard rail first then the front. I finally got the car to stop after that. I got out and checked things out and there wasn't too much physical damage to the car so I decided to drive a little ways more and get my car off of Business Route 10 so started driving to K-Mart and that's when I found out my steering was fucked up.

I got to K-Mart and parked my car. Then, I called Mom and Dad. Dad flipped out as usual. Mom gave me some phone numbers so I called Midland High and let them know that I wouldn't make it to the tournament. Then I tried calling a tow truck. I couldn't get through so I called Mom back. She finally got through and the tow truck was on its way.

I got home around 11 or so and made myself at home. Mom brought me back to campus just a bit ago. She gave me some food so this morning wasn't all bad...
