Exigence

I was at my friend Adam's house relaxing, when I got a phone call from my mom. She said she couldn't pick up Taylor, my sister, so I needed to go get her right away so she can make it to volleyball on time. I was aggravated at first, and moved myself towards the door. I unlocked my car, got in, and turned the key but nothing happened. Stress overwhelmed me immediately. I couldn't get my car to start. I tried everything. After about ten minutes I had Adam's whole family outside worrying with me and helping me out. Finally his dad did the trick, and I made it to Taylor's school with 2 minutes to spare.

First Day at Mankato

My first day here was crazy. The lines were extremely long and ridiculous. First you had to get in line to get your key, then out to the car to unload, then back in line to borrow a flatbed cart, then back outside to load everything on it, then in line for the elevator where I proceeded to move a foot every 5 to 10 minutes. The floor I'm living on is the highest one up, 12. Room 1212 to be exact. Moving in was very very hectic. It was also extremely hot outside and there is no air conditioning. Me and my roommate got everything unpacked and situated. My family and I went out to get our books and eat food. We also stopped by walmart to pick up some more supplies for my room. Me and Katie's room actually coordinated. We found out very quickly that we were very simular. After the family bbq my family headed out. Katie and I hung out for the rest of the night. All in all it was a hectic but rewarding day.
