Family Weekend

This weekend was family weekend for all the fraternities and sororities. Basically it just means that the parents spend all weekend with their kids at either their fraternity or sorority. Well wasnt thinking much about it and then my mom called me and said that they were thinking about coming up friday evening for dinner and to just hang out a bit. Its been a while since i have seen them, the last time i really spent alot of time with them was my last weekend in El Dorado. The last time i was home they went to the State Fair so i didnt really get to see them at all. But anyways back to the story. So mom called and said there was a pretty good chance that they would come up friday night and go out to dinner and just hang out, granted she called me and told me about this on monday so there was still alot of time to pass. But thinking about seeing them friday night and the game on saturday kept me pushing through the week. I prolly need to go into detail about this week now. This past week for me was very very very very intensive. By far the most intensive week of the year so far. The reasoning behind all of this.............tests. I had a calculus II test on tuesday night and an engineering physics I test friday evening..............yea thats right i said friday.......the evening my parents were coming up.........needless to say my focus wasnt on physics. But anyways to prepare for my calculus test i pulled 2 back-to-back all nighters to make sure i would do good on the test....................basically i dont want anything less than an A. So sunday night and monday night were my all nighters. Then wednesday you would think i would want to just sleep right...................wrong. I had class from 9:30-4:30, with a couple hour breaks in between. And on top of that after i got out of class i had to go to work till 10:30ish at Quiznos. After i got home from work i just wanted to sleep but i couldnt............i had a manufacturing process and design quiz due my midnight...............so guess what i did for the next hour.................yep you guessed did homework. After the homework was done i crawled into bed and went to sleep. But the sleep did not last long because i had to be up at 6:30 for i had a class at 7:30. But i was ok with that because i knew that today i was done with class by 12:30 and i could then go home and sleep. Class for me was almost over then i got a phone call........................not a bad one. It was my cousin, Brandon, asking me if i would help him by working for him today. Needing the money i of course said yes. So here i am running on about 5-6 hours of sleep within the past 4 days yet i have to go work outside in housing construction. So i worked on the house till about 6:00 or so then we all decided to call it a day.......................i was so glad i finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I immeadiately went home and took a nice COLD shower and got ready to take a well deserved nap................but that didnt last long. In fact the sleep part never really happened because i had a calc II online quiz to do plus i had to do Structural Materials homework and then i had to do some engineering physics homework..................so after all that was done..................around 10:00ish or so i then crawled into bed and slept till 9:00.......................i was so glad. Finally i got a full nights sleep. But my happiness soon turned to worry because in my hast to sleep i neglected to study for physics test. So i went to class, came home and studied studied studied...................................i knew i shouldnt have waited till now to do this but i was so busy this was the only time i could do it. Well couple hours later it was time......................time for me to take my test............mean while in the back of my mind all i could think about was seeing mom and dad for dinner. I managed to fight my way through the test..................honestly it was pretty easy.........i know i did good on it. So after my test i went home and laid on the couch..............eventually turning into a nap. Mom called shortly there after and said they were about 5 minutes away. Next thing i know they were here. And of course they were glad to see me and i was glad to see them. They came inside for a while and mom decided to grip at how i dont make my bed and how things are perfect.................ya know mom things. We then went to go eat at Grizzlies...................its a mom and pop chicken fried streak place....................and boy was it good.......reall good. After eating we went back to the house and just talked for a while, but that didnt last real long cus they needed to get back home before it got real late cus rachel and sarah have bed times and mom and dad dont wanna drive home in the pitch black of night. So we said our good byes and that was that. After they left i went over to some of my El Dorado buddies apartment and we chilled there the rest of the evening just kicking back playing xbox jaming to tunes and just having a good time. I managed to make it home around 3:30 am i just crawled into bed and slept with my clothes on. The next thing i know i hear this loud knocking at the door so i get up to see who it is. Its wes, my roomate, big sister. She came up for the game this weekend. Then about an hour later shay, my roommate, parents show up they too are going to the game. We all go out to eat at Chilies and then go to the game. Boy was it hot at the stadium. The game was ok.............it shouldnt have been as close as what it was..........but we still won and thats what im looking for. After the game we all came back to the house and relaxed and watched tv. And of course they eventually left. And now here i am writing you my synopsis of my week. O and the fun of business still continues cus i have 2 tests next week and then 1 test the next week...................you got to love the lack of sleep.
