My Saturday

I had a pretty disappointing Saturday last weekend. It started off with work early at 5:30 and of course that means Friday is going to be an early night. I was ok with that because Iowa played Iowa State on Saturday and I was very excited about that! I am a diehard Iowa fan and I have had season tickets with my dad for four years now. So I work on some homework on Friday and prepare for what I think will be a glorious Saturday afternoon and night. First I had to get through work. I went to bed fairly early for a Friday night so I was ready as the sun came up. I put my W polo, a hooded sweatshirt, and khaki shorts on and headed out. I put my hood up because it was surprisingly cold and soon I realized that the doors to the W were locked. Fifteen minutes later campus security showed up and unlocked the doors. That just proved to me that you should try not to be too early, just early enough.

I worked from 12:30 and with kick off of the game being at 11:00 I was very frustrated. But I had it all planned out. DVR is a blessing for situations like this. I planned on watching the game at about 1:00 with some friends. I told my co-workers that I didn't want to know any news about the game and I'll admit that I probably wasn't very fun to work with near the end of my shift. Soon, however it was 12:30 and I was out of there! I had avoided talking to a lot of people for fear of them telling me the score. I turned my phone off to stay away from texts and internet. I stayed away from all televisions. I'm speed walking to my car. Almost time! "Hey Ryan! Games still tied 10-10. You can catch the second half!" said my boss. And Iowa ended up losing... great day.
