Labor Day Weekend!

     Let me start by saying that my weekend was not as exciting as you probably guess from the exclamation point in my title.  My highlight of the weekend was on Saturday doing three hours of Chemistry homework.  Okay that is slight sarcasm, although I did end up doing three hours of Chemistry homework all day Saturday.  Saturday morning though I went tubing with the Navigators.  The Navigators is a bible study group around campus that has a group in Capstone that meets every Monday night at 8 pm.  The experience was supposed to be relaxing, but of course I would not be relaxing, something always happens.  My tube ended up drifting to the left the entire time when it was supposed to stay to the right of the river so I ended up paddling half the time to stay on course.  At one point I got out of the tube and swam while pulling it behind me because I was fed up with paddling.  Let me note that I have the biggest fear of snakes and the entire time I was swimming I was imagining a snake slithering by me in the water which I would have died if that had happened, literally died.  Anyways, near the end of the trip I latched onto a group of tubes that were staying on course, so I had time to relax before I began paddling again to bring the tube onto the shore at the end.  I could see the shore near the end of the trip and was a few rocks away from the shoreline where I would be departing from my tube.  These last few yards of water were the worst.  I ended up getting stuck on rocks every few feet, floating away from the shore and to top it all off my tube flipped in a rapid right at the end.  By that point in time I gave up and just swam to shore with my tube because for me that was more efficient and quicker.  Although the tubing experience was rough to say the least, I still had a blast and would do it again anyday.
     The rest of my weekend was not as exciting.  I mostly did homework in my dorm room or walked around campus with friends.  Monday night I watched the Virginia Tech game and I'm gonna leave it at that.  No words can express the anger inside me from watching that game.  Anyone who knows me in person knows my dedication as a Virginia Tech fan so you can imagine how upset I was at the end of the game.  I hope whoever is reading this had a much more exciting weekend then I did and that their football team of choice was victorious!
