Environmentally Too Friendly

Blog No. 168: Environmentally Friendly

I remember on Monday, during class, King was asking what we should do before our class on Wednesday, today. I said a few things, like a rousing round of Munchkin (if JT were to let me borrow the card game), or a stroll through the mall, (which turned King off all too quickly), or a game of tennis.

Turns out, King talked it over with Taka and they both decided on a game of tennis would be fitting. :P

When I arrived at school today, 5/17, I walked to the table outside where Taka, Abril, and King were. We basically sat for a little bit. Taka told me the plan to meet Yowty and a few other asian dudes at the tennis court right next to their neighborhood at 4, an hour away. So, while we were bored, Taka cranked up some tunes. Taka, Abril, and I really slashed that Captain Planet theme song, as well as the Fresh Prince clean rap song...

While we were walking to the parking lot, we passed a couple of those annoying Environment California reps hanging around campus, trying to ask for donations and volunteers for the cause. I conveniently strided away from them through the grass. Taka mentioned how stepping on the grass was not being "environmentally friendly." So, further down the path, I kicked my sandal at a tree. XP

Random thought: "Can there be a thing as environmentally too friendly?"

Drive-Thrus always crack me up. I have a few fond memories of Drive Thrus, like that one time right after prom. A friend of ours, I'll call Mariska Hargitay, wanted to get Taco Bell food while the table of eleven of us waited for our IHOP meals. My other friend, I'll call Teh Rod, (because she likes being referred to as such), was concerned for her safety, seeing as it was 2 in the morning. So Teh Rod, Mariska Hargitay, and I walked through the drive-thru of the next door Taco Bell. Fortunate for us, they took our order! XP

Today, King was taking us through the Burger King drive-thru, seeing as Taka was famished for some Whopper Juniors. Abril asked us if we could've gotten a discount as ARC students. So:

"Can we get the ARC discount?" King asked.

"Do ya want that as a combo?"

Giggles all around. XD

"Um, can I get like 5 Whopper Jrs?"

"King! David wanted a number 1!"

"Can we start over?"

"Do you not want the Whopper Jrs?"

"KING!"

He eventually got it right...

Silly Burger King drive thru window... XP

At the tennis courts, we ate our bountiful, yet greasy Burger King Whoppers. I gave them my fries, seeing as I only wanted a soda with my Whopper. Taka was still hungry after her only Whopper Jr. :P

When King and I pulled out our Western Civilizations notes, a new person arrived. Amanduh, (misspelled on purpose), was one of their Foothill friends. She had arrived with a big AMPM slushie she drank on the way there. She's pretty cool. While King and I studied for our quiz, Taka pulled out her Payless tap shoes and tried to practice on the sidewalk, which didn't work out too well...

Then Susan Surrandon and Phillip surprised us as they arrived. I was totally not expecting them to arrive, so it just made the day better! XP

So we had a random tennis day.

Oy, Susan Surrandon...

Anyway, Phillip ended up playing an epic one-on-one match with Yowty, who, like me, still needs to play one-on-one with Dustin (our Roger Federer) at some point in time. Taka, Abril, King, Amanduh, Susan Surrandon, and I played three-on-three tennis. We basically had some fun and exercise while hitting the net multiple times, getting balls stuck in the fence, accidentally hitting some people in the crotch (TAKA!), and hitting the balls out of the park and into traffic. It was a rousing good time! XP

At 5:45, King and I had to say so long for our Western Civ quiz today.

The quiz itself was not at all hard. After looking at the outline and repeating the important people and chronology aloud, I feel really confident. The quiz was only a page long. The 6 multiple choice straight from the outline, the 5 matching, and the 4 chronology was cake!

After the quiz, we basically sat and listened to Jardine rant about Sparta and Athens. At one point in the conversation, I wanted to step in because the person who asked a question was all snooty toward the teacher, something about the French being the first to practice of "true" democracy, but I didn't. I could've said his answer in less than a minute, but I let Jardine draw it out to 20. XP

Then King took me home!
