So this past week was a pain in the ass, had some work to do and also take my biology test that was a kicker on all of that. I was ready for the weekend as soon as I woke up Monday morning. On Thursday I went downtown and started out at PK’s, (I suggest this if you all didn’t know about the Tijuana Toss) every Thursday from 5-10pm. You get an x-large 1 topping pizza (or however many you want) and you flip a quarter for each pizza you have and if u get it right you don’t have to pay for it. After that I went to the Cellar and had a few there, this place is neat it’s like an underground bar that has a real chill atmosphere. I then finished up at Hokie House where they have the “death steps” and I was training to do this last year until I had my incident. I finally counted them on my way up and there are only 19 steps, I was told that there was 21 but I guess this is because not many make it up that far. So each step has a different name of a drink and you’re supposed to have that drink of whatever step you’re on.
Okay enough of the downtown information for now, so Friday I didn’t do relay for life but went by for a little bit to visit some friends. While I was there we went and listened to some very heart wrenching stories of how some fellow students were affected by others they knew that had cancer. I listened to two girls the first girl’s sister’s life was taken by cancer and the way she told the life of her sister and the goals she had really made me take a step back and realize I am grateful for what I have. The other girl was talking about a fellow sorority sister who was hit by cancer last year. She said how her friend sent her a text and all it said was “I have cancer,” she never liked to talk about it but she was always interested in how others were instead of everything being focused on her. She said it didn’t go that way until she was getting sicker and was worried about leaving her family behind. These kind of stories make people realize stuff happens within a blink of an eye. I have to say from this don’t hold grudges, live life to the fullest and make the best of the shitty situations!

That thing about the steps and drinks sounds pretty cool. I can completely understand why no one has made it all the way.
ReplyDeleteHow that would suck if you stepped on a drink taht you hated, but it's a pretty cool concept. Yeah PK's is awesome with the quarter toss. When I'm poor and off campus I'm definately going to be spending some qualit time there.
