I had the strangest day yesterday. It started off pretty normal, went to Church with my friends Allison, and Mikaila; and then went on a Walmart run. Then things got a little more interesting when I went to Coldstone and Chipotle for the first time ever. The adventure really started after we had gotten back to the dorm at the wonderful Cedarville University. We had gotten some 1/2" PVC pipe and were making nerf blowguns with them. I had duct taped the blade of a foam sword onto mine so that if anyone got to close in a battle, I could just whack them.
We then took our blow guns with us to ambush some of our other friends whom we were about to eat supper with. We took our blow guns with us to the dining hall, known as Chucks to the students. On our way out of Chucks we see Dr. White, the new president of the University eating with his family. He saw the weapon in my hand and gave me the nod of approval. You know you have a cool university president when he gives you the nod of approval for carrying around a DIY nerf blowgun around Chucks like a moron. Anyway, so then we were taking a shortcut through a building and decided that we were gonna start having a nerf war right then and there. As anyone who is familiar with me knows by now, I get WAY into games. It is ridiculous how competitive I am, I once literally almost died just so that I wouldn't be "it" in a game of blind mans bluff, but that is a story for another time. I went to dramatically dive behind a pillar to shield myself from the oncoming missiles when it happened. I had misjudged my backwards leap and ending up hitting a large porcelain vase and knocking it over. Everything stopped and we all just stared at the shattered vase on the floor in front of us for a bit, not knowing what to do. It turns out that maintenance is closed on Sundays so we couldn't go get one of them for help so we turned to the only authority figure we knew the location of. Yep, my friend went back to Chucks and got the President of the University to come and help us pick up a broken vase! And he came. Of all the random people to have come and help clean stuff up, that might be the most random. So random that if I hadn't been so embarrassed I would have wondered if I was dreaming. While he helped us clean up, his eight year old daughter took my blowgun and shot at random strangers who were walking by and possibly her little brother as well! When he went to leave, his 4 year old son wanted to continue playing with the blowgun (he had been running and retrieving the darts for his sister) and started crying because he couldn't. So basically, because of me, the son of the President of Cedarville was crying. THEN, and this is just the cherry on top of the icecream sunday that this day was, we went to put the vacuum cleaner back in the closet and found the most random thing I have ever seen in a closet. It was a cardboard cutout of the retired pastor of Cedarville, beloved by all the students, Pastor Rohm. and the cardboard cutout was holding a picture of a book that read "Cats for Dummies." If that is not a strange, random day, then I don't know what is! And I kid you not, all of this really did happen, I couldn't make up something this random even if I tried. I hope this story brightened your day, and, if you are a Cedarville student, helped shape your opinion of Dr. White.
That’s all I got for you for now, but you’ll probably be hearing from me again soon. I hope that every single one of your days until then is full of good times, good people, and good food.
