Today was actually full of stories for me to tell. To fully appreciate the first one though, I have to give a little backstory.

It was senior year of high school. I was in a writing class based around Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Also in that class, a guy named Schuyler. (Aat least that’s how it’s spelled on his Instagram page, it’s pronounced like Skyler) I didn't know  him, I pretty much just knew of  him. I had to work on a project with him once but the basis of my knowledge about him was that he seemed hardcore hipster but like he wasn’t even trying to be -which if you ask me makes him even more hardcore hipster. Anyway, one night I had this dream that he was in and we had to work together to save this kid name Jake (who I also only know of but don’t actually know) and in part of the dream we ended up making out while we were hiding out in a bathroom. Which is super gross, but I thought the whole thing was hilarious so I made the mistake of telling people and I can never live it down now.

That all being said, it was Matt’s mission farewell today and I go in to sit by Em. Well I sit down and my friend Katie gestures to the guy in front of me while her eyebrows are raised all mischievous like and lo and behold, there is Schuyler. Both her and Em were on the verge of bursting with laughter. I almost was too because of course this is going to happen to me. Luckily no eye contact or conversation insued and I was able to escape.

After mine and Em’s fantastic escape, we went to the luncheon thing for Matt and got to talk to a bunch of people and eat food and have some general fun. As we were about to drive away Spence thought it would be hilarious to pull back my car mirrors and pop up my windshield wipers. But then Matt comes running over and I’m thinking he’s gonna fix the wipers for me but he actually opens my door and pulls on the little lever thing that pops open my hood. I have lost all trust for them now. (Granted, there wasn’t much left.)

We ended up hanging at Matt’s house later where we basically sat in chairs outside and watched a bunch of dogs run around (at least that’s what Em and I did.) But we couldn’t stay too long because at 7:00 there was a YSA social at the Catmul’s which I dragged Emily to. It was actually way fun though. I found out that I’m actually semi okay at ping pong and then we all played “Around The World” (which I was less than semi okay at.) Afterwards we played this game called “Catchphrase” which is essentially electronic charades but you can talk. It’s on a timer though, so you have two teams play against each other and whichever team is holding the device when the timer goes off loses and their other team gets a point. Turns out I’m actually pretty good at it, and Carla and I make a great team!

Then we went to Spencer’s house for like thirty minutes because everybody from Matt’s house earlier migrated to Spence’s basement for some solid movie watching. There was only like thirty minutes left of the movie ‘Masterminds’ by the time we got there but it was still fun.

Most importantly though: I finally got to eat some cheesecake.
