It’s the second day in a row I’ve used a boardgame to represent my day, but still I find the picture quite sufficient in being the highlight of my day. I woke up at 8 am to Matt’s phonecall asking where the heck transfer admit day was. I didn’t know – Amul & Kunal were confused too. Kunal checked online and said it would be happening at around 9:30 so I went back to sleep. Win. I woke up around 10, got ready, and was out there by 10:30 tabling with Matt, Alex, & Amul (PAW Table), Lauren (WTCC Table), and V.Payne (WAVE Table). In the process I started memorizing lines for the film I would be filming later in the day for my literature class(I ultimately failed in my futile attempt). I consumed quite a few delicious donuts while out there though.
Shortly thereafter, I met up with Matt Chow at Burger King in an effort to start our video project. Michelle also came, and we spent quite a sufficient amount of time talking while Matt was away getting light sabers with Harry. Tyler interrupted us at some point in our conversation, but by the time Matt and Harry came back, we proceeded to snake path to meet up with Tiffany. Then, we started filming. I was reminded of my terrible acting skills, but my running skills in a field of daisies apparently wasn’t too bad. Filming took definitely longer than I thought it would, and playing a character infatuated with a girl already in a relationship definitely struck some chords (of my high school past). The saddest part of the day? When filming a battle scene outside of Atkinson Hall with lightsabers, instead of using my lightsaber to poke Harry’s hat off, I accidentally poked him in the eye. FAIL. FAIL. FAIL. I felt so guilty, but he seemed okay minutes after the tragic incident. When we were all done, we finished filming Harry’s camera scenes in Tiffany’s apartment, before I left.
I guess I considered the previous portions of the day as all “work”, now awaiting the “play” of my day. I met up Geetha at Foodworx, ate, and then later we would proceed back to my apartment to watch the Colbert Reports and lots of delicious Ron Paul videos. Amul came in and out intermittently and made small talk with us. After waiting countless hours for Bee-John he finally came over, and we got our game of Monopoly on. At the beginning, it seemed as though Bee-John was in a hopeless position – but he made a deal with Amul that ultimately guaranteed everybody’s possession of a monopoly. At one point in the game I was the most powerful possessinga pink monopoly, and deciding not to switch any of my houses into hotels in an effort to prevent anyone else from buying houses. My game tragically ended though with the landing on Marvin Gardens, which secured Geetha’s fate as ultimate winner. She took a picture of all the money she had. Damn capitalist. Just like in the game of Risk yesterday, I came in third – Bee-John losing before me, and Amul losing right after me. Geetha had won. We played some Bang, and then the night was over.
