Luz, Alcohol, Sprinklers, OH MY!

I would just like to re-apologize to those who were completely and utterly bored by my last blog. You must understand how excited I was though. It's not everyday the Spice Girls get back together.

Anyway, today is Sunday, another lazy Sunday. Hopefully I'll be able to get some things done like grocery shopping and Target shopping. Not that I need to spend more money but.....

Today's also going to be a good day because Shubbu move in. The apartment will finally be full! How exciting! Yesterday Luz moved in and it was an interesting day to say the least.

Luz and I spent most of the early evening re-arranging the apartment. And I must say it looks divine. We added a new chair to the living room, got a real TV stand, moved the couch a little, our chair across the room, moved the lamps and coffee tables, and shifted the dining room table...and I must say; it makes a huge difference. It just looks more open and inviting now. Everything is really coming together.

Later in the evening Marty went out and got Luz and I some alcohol because she is lucky and 21. However, she is unlucky because she was recently diagnosed with walking pneumonia meaning she can't drink alcohol for the next 14 days because of her antibiotics. It really sucks for her. But she was still nice and got Luz and I the devil juice. We then preceded to drink at our amazing bar which at some point in the night was referred to as an airport bar. We then thought it was funny to pretend to be airport passengers and I have this awful feeling that game is going to continue all summer.

A little while later Marty (looking all classy) went with Jonah to go see one of his friends. So little ol' lonely Luz and I were left alone and we came up with one of those really great ideas that sound amazing when you are intoxicated...but in all reality are quite poor ideas. Anyway, we decided it would be a good thing to go take a walk on Green Street while drinking our alcohol. Not the smartest idea when you are under 21, already drunk, and want to walk in plain sight of cops on a busy street drinking alcohol. Well, it was a fantastic idea to us, so we loaded water-y looking Smirnoff Ice's in water bottles, didn't bother to change out of our crappy gym looking clothes (we also thought it would help our argument if we got caught; like we just got done working out) and headed for Green. We only walked and drank along Green for a few minutes before heading to the Quad. We then walked through the quad, drinking, and loudly declaring our pride for the University of Illinois, before we were drawn to Foellinger and it's twinkly lights. Once at foellinger, we climbed the stairs, walked across this ledge, and sat down (with about 6ft. from my feet to the ground, dangerous when everything is spinning slightly) and just looked out on the quad with our perfect view. We just sat and finished our drinks and watched joggers and walkers for about an hour before we decided to leave. Just as we moved from Foellinger to the grass on the quad (I don't know why we weren't going to use the sidewalks) the entire quad sprinkler system went off!! We started screaming and then realized how funny it was. Then we came up with another great idea of running through all of the sprinklers even though it was getting quite cold and the sprinkler water was freezing. So there was Luz and I, running through the sprinklers on the quad at midnight. Good times. We finished the trip with a detour to Bonny Jeans (best drunk pizza in the world!) smelling like wet dogs before heading home and passing out.

All in all, I'd say it was a very successful first night back for Luz. I have the feeling this is going to be a very very fun summer.

And so for now that's it. No more adventures to tell just yet. Have a great weekend everyone!
