Fall Break

So about a week before fall break my best friend suggested that we use our time off to go down to Ringling College in Florida so that I could visit a few of my old friends.  I was missing them so much that week and so I jumped on the idea.  Best road trip ever.  It had taken us about ten hours to reach Ringling.  Cassi, was the only one who knew I was on my way down, and we had devised a plan to surprise the others.  Since school started I had been texting my friends at Ringling about setting up a skype date but it never seemed to work out.  So our brilliant plan was for my friend and I to set up camp in my old common room and skype the Ringling kids while they were all in Cassi's dorm room and see how long it would take them to notice that I was across the street. 
At about 5 o'clock we log on to see about six of my old friends staring at me over the computer.  They're all talking trying to get a word in when one of them say, "Hey Katie, it's crazy but your room looks a lot like the fishbowl." The fishbowl is what we called the common room.  Then I go on to say, "Yeah it is, I missed you guys so much I decided to redecorate." as I turned to reveal the rest of the room.  They went crazy! All I could hear was screaming coming from the computer but when I looked at the screen the room was empty.  They all ran straight out of their room as soon as they figured it out.  About two minutes later I was tackled by my friend Matt, who had sprinted so fast across the street he apparently was almost hit by a car.  The rest of the evening was spent hanging out with my old friends, with many other similar reactions, as word that I was on campus spread.
