Millsaps: One Day Down, Three More to Go Before Mexico!

It all started with the silver bullet - I mean, we had to name our trusty steed, right? So the van became the 7th member of our crew yesterday and we were on our way! First stop - the Wal-Mart for a scavenger hunt in search of low prices on 'everyday' goods according to Harvey, who must have strange eating habits...dried salted fish and fruit loops? Kibbie and eggs? We're all glad you're not cooking for us this week! With limited success, we returned home for a little r and r, which meant basketball for the guys and actual r and r for the ladies. Typical.


Then, for dinner, we headed for the local favorite, The Pizza Shack. Little known fact: the Pizza Shack also feeds cats. Lots of them. Not to you, of course, although one of them almost became dinner when Connor 'accidentally' stepped on it. Accidentally...

Then, there was the car...if you could call it that. Evidently, one of the Greek organizations used it as a metal pinata to raise money for the group's philanthropy, and it sure looks like it was a success! Could've been pulled from a monster truck rally if you ask me. Of course, they chose to park it in the Millsaps parking lot instead of the dump.


Our after hours assignment was to watch Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, which was on the same gore level as Kill Bill except more realistic. Not a pretty picture, but an interesting movie nonetheless. Definitely going to create a more vivid image of what the ruins in Mexico were like before they became ruins.

Finally full of pizza and worn out, we braved our dorms for bed.

  1. Con-man, no stepping on cats. B-rabbit, show them your card throwing tricks. Fraidy cat still has not had her kittens in case you are interested. Love you and miss you, mom
