Day 261: Pots, Dances, & Wings, Oh My

 

September 18th, 2011After going grocery shopping at Von’s in the morning to buy a ton of frozen food, as well as some milk for my recently opened Trix box, I went back to my apartment for consumption purposes. In doing so, I watched some terrible football with Jenny, Manuel, and Tyler. Shortly thereafter, in the midst of playing Sims and Farmville, I would make some frozen delicious chicken alfredo [Marie Calendar’s brand]. When all was said and done I went to visit Geetha at her place.
We proceeded to Paw’s pot party, where she decorated a pot pictured above. When she departed, I joked around with Tyler, Rosario, and Lauren for the most part before heading back to her place. After doing so, I went back home to eat some frozen pizza but not before chilling at the apartment with Nick, Eric, Manuel, Neil, Tyler, Bee-John, Lauren, & Rosario. We all bused to campus, and went to the terrible dance, where I literally danced for merely 5 minutes. Me & Bee-John lost everyone within the first few minutes so we frantically searched for everyone the entire time. We ended up finding Chris, whom we talked to for a bit, ended up visiting Cindy’s muir apartment, and ended up visiting Hana’s muir apartment. Afterwards, we went to Che Cafe for a bit to visit Geetha for a tad bit before departing for home. The method? Walking. We walked so far as TGI Friday’s before craving energy, so we quickly went in to get some delicious midnight specials. I got some wings I craved the other night. We walked the rest of the night home, with Bee-John ultimately biking the hell out of my place.

On this day in 1776, General George Washington writes to the president of the Continental Congress, John Hancock, reporting on the Battle at Harlem Heights and relaying the unfortunate news of the death of Captain Thomas Knowlton. In the early morning hours of September 16, 1776, General Washington ordered the Continentals to hold their line at Harlem Heights while he sent Captain Thomas Knowlton and a volunteer group of Rangers to scout British movements and possibly lure the British into combat. While Captain Knowlton and the Rangers engaged the British in a frontal assault, Washington sent a second force of Patriots to attack the British from their right flank. During the short but intense fighting that ensued, the Americans were able to force a small British retreat from their northern positions. YAY GO AMERICA <24.
