8:00 p.m.
Oh boy! Spring Weekend! I can't wait! I've heard nothing but good things about it, and now I can finally go! I've got my beers in my bag, right next to my first aid kit. You know, gotta be safe. Responsible fun, whoopie!
8:17 p.m.
Wow! X Lot has so many people! My friends left before I could set up our buddy system. I should probably find a buddy quick. Maybe I shouldn't have asked to hold hands.
8:41 p.m.
What a cultural experience X Lot is! A bunch of people were playing Brazilian music using authentic instruments. A bunch of people were dancing to the music, but I'm pretty sure grinding isn't part of ancient Brazilian dance. But I could be wrong. I probably should have asked one of them.
9:03 p.m.
I ran into one of my classmates from Chemistry. He introduced me to his friend, who was visiting from Michigan State. I asked him how he liked Spring Weekend, and he said he was unimpressed. He then asked me why I was wearing kneepads. I told him it was because I heard people fall over a lot at X Lot. The two of them walked away, I imagine to get themselves their own pair.
9:34 p.m.
Wow! I just saw Wolverine! I didn't know my childhood hero would be here! X Lot just keeps getting better and better. I went over to shake his hand. He told me to have fun and stay safe. Fear not Wolverine!
9:59 p.m.
Some people were singing "I'm on a Boat" incredibly loud by pole five. I tried to join in, but I forgot some of the words. I think I'll go hang out with those people singing "Beauty and the Beast." "Gaston" is my favorite song.
10:15 p.m.
I found a girl from my class, and I started talking to her and her friend. They made fun of my kneepads, but you know what's really unattractive? Scars. On your knees.
10:20 PM
I found the guy from Michigan State again. Apparently everyone found out where he was from, and chased him around X-lot. I found him upside down in a makeshift basketball hoop. I guess Hasheem dunked him.
