This past Tuesday I was doing my multi-variable homework, counting down the minutes till my favorite show NCIS would come on, when I got a text message from my sister. As I read the message I was filled with joy, she had informed me that she was coming to Tech this weekend to visit!! I was so excited. My sister was suppose to come down lst semester as soon as her high school varsity sport of field hockey was over (she couldn't miss Saturday practices, even for college visits). The winter passes, her off season from sports and she still had not made it down to visit. Although, can't say I blame her for not trying too hard during the winter; I'm pretty sure between the cold and the wind she wouldn't want to come back after that experience. Then, spring rolled around and my sister tried out for the varsity soccer team at my high school. She did't think she would mae it o wewere already planning weekends that would be good for her and her best friend to come visit on. But, to everyone's surprise and my sister's delight, she made the varsity soccer team. I was very happy for her but also dissapointed because I really wanted to share that passion that I have for tech with my sister. The weekend began Thursday at 5pm for me, but my sister didn't come till 1am Saturday morning. I decided to celebrate the three day weekend by going camping with some friends. We went about 45 min away because that was the only state campground open nearby, and the drive was breath taking. We drove through a picture book of the country side, it was so picturesque. We didn't even know if we'd be able to camp or not because there were no reservations, just first come first serve, but we decided that even if we couldn't camp the drive was worth all the effort, it was that beautiful. We had no problems with a crowded campsite, we were the only onese taht and it was really creepy, like out of a horror film creepy. My friends and I survived though, and packed up first thing in the morning so as to participate in the rest of the 4/16 events. I went to the picnic and the vidual, which was incredibly moving. I almost cried even though I knew know one who had been affected, it was that touching. The next day my sister came, but unfortuantely it was the Big Event and Icouldn't see her off the back. I usually love doing service, but saturday it was painful mulching a frisbee golf course on mountain sides, not only because of the physical work but because it was taking up the precious time I wanted to spend with my sister. Fortunately, we ended early; I was not the only one who realized that if we worked faster then we could leave sooner. When I got back to campus I really wanted to impress my sister and her best friend, as well has her best friends parents who had brought them down. So, naturally I took the to West End. We had a two hour long lunch it seemed. My sister Chrissie, and her friend Lisa are like dumb and dumber, and take FOREVER to make decisions. They are the definition of dilly dalining (however you spell it). Later, we took their stuff to my room (they spent sat night in my room) and they each had a huge duffle, comforter, and a pilllow. Basically, they had more stuff than I did camping, with all my camping gear including the tent. I love them very much though, both Chrissie and Lisa (Lisa is practically my sister she spends so much time at our house and with our family), and I was very happy the came to visit.
