Portfolio 2 Free Blog Beginning: An Interesting Weekend

Spring Break wasn't all too noteworthy. It certainly beat being in school for a week (lord knows that we all needed some time off), but it wasn't particularly exciting the whole way through. My focus for this blog is going to be my weekend trip to Georgia Southern University that spanned the past 48 hours of my vacation.
It started around 1:00 PM Friday afternoon, which is about when me and the friends that I was taking with me woke up. We ate breakfast, got dressed and prepared for our two days away from home in about 30 minutes. So now it was 1:30, but we had told everyone we were leaving at 2:00, so we decided to sit around and do nothing until then. We got a few calls from our friends at GSU telling us that we should stop being bums and leave already, but me and my friends are all about taking our sweet time (especially when we have a 4 hour drive ahead of us, or so we thought.)
Finally at 2:02 we decided to move all our stuff into the car and head out. I was driving - mainly because I had the nicest car out of the people going - so I brought out my GPS, and did a satellite search for points of interest in Statesboro. Not surprisingly, only Georgia Southern came up. Now we had our route, and we only needed to pick up one more person: our friend Beth. She only lived about 6 minutes away from me. It was a pretty uneventful drive over there, since my friends and I had pretty much chatted ourselves out in the past hour. The only noteworthy thing about this drive was that as soon as we called Beth and told her we were parked outside waiting for her, the sky opened up and pounded us with some of the heaviest rain I'd seen in weeks. Of course Beth was carrying five days worth of clothes and beauty products for a two day trip (women...), so I had to walk outside with my oversized umbrella to help her into the car without getting her stuff wet.
This already seemed like a bad omen for the drive down there (which is, if you didn't already know, about a four hour drive) but we were optimistic. Plunging onward through the rain, we neared the highway that would take us through over half of Georgia, pitch black skies, tornado warnings, flooded meadows and beautiful rainbows. Stay on the edge of your seat, that's all for next time in Free Blog 2!
