To begin, my spring break began on Thursday of last week, seeing as I don't have Friday classes. I spent most of Thursday packing up my room and getting ready to leave the next day. We left school on Friday around 2, that put us in Dallas at 5. We got our stuff together and left for Oklahoma at 7-ish.
Now I love night drives on the highway, but knowing the tendencies of animals, I hate rural sections at night.
So as we missed a turn in Antlers, OK, I began to feel an imminent danger. I usually push these things away because of my anxiety. However, I should have listened to it as my friend pushed almost 80. There was a deer lurking beyond a hill that fulfilled my gut feeling. The first deer was fine, the second deer was the one that got hit. We somehow made it out okay, even though we ended up in the ditch. Thankfully the car didn't flip or hit a tree, or get stuck. But that only began the journey. Turns out, we were headed the wrong direction, so we snail crawled our way back into Antlers and made the correct turn towards Broken Bow. That's when the check engine light came on. Long story short, we ended up getting towed only to have to stuff ourselves into our friend's vehicle in a way that would make any Tetris player amazed.
We finally made it to the destination at 2:30 and promptly, wait for it, got into the jacquzzi. I didn't realize this would take away hot water from the shower. I took a cold shower that night. We finally went to bed at 4:30.
Who knew wake up time would be 10 after the late night. I was on breakfast duty, I was actually on all food duty. The rest of the weekend followed a similar pattern of going to bed early and waking up early.
This weekend actually taught me a lot and did an equal amount for me.
First, I got a social media and texting free break. This helped me in several ways.
Second, I got to see a different side of my boyfriend's best friend. Usually the kid gets under my skin, but he honestly didn't irritate me this weekend. Don't tell him that.
Third, I figured out that I'm the full package, according to one of my boyfriend's fraternity brothers.
Fourth, I saw a very protective side of my boyfriend and also a very manly side of him as he smoked a cigar.
Fifth, I've come to the conclusion that all these emotions I feel are actually the love kind of emotions and that I had to stop myself several times from saying it.
I've also discovered that I don't like it when other girls sit next to or touch my boyfriend. I become very competitive.
