How does one ruin a weekend that went by very well? By going back to work. But let's not sully my blogger by talking about blasphemous things such as work...
There's no point really to mention everything that happened, so i'll just highlight the events that are entertaining. Which just happen to be the things I actually remember.
Friday night: A group of my maryland friends decided to go up to Philly. The best part of the trip was that I didn't have to drive. I'm so sick of the three hour drive to get back up north these days. Though it sounded good at the time, it really wasn't. Three hours in a car packed with college supplies with a half opened window for most of the three hour drive and no heat (that was applicable) does not make for a pleasant drive. Well, in the end, it's still better then driving.
Saturday: Upon waking up, everyone is ready to go look at the house we might live in except for me. I have all of ten minutes to get ready. To say the least... i brushed my teeth in record time.
We walked at least twenty minutes in the new fallen snow (did i mention it started snowing friday night and was still snowing? no? well, guess what? i just did.) and tried to keep our ears from falling off as we looked for the landlord of the house.
The house is beautiful. Five bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and living room dispersed through three floors. And to top it off, it had a basement with a washing machine and dryer. The only bad part of the house was the fact that two of the rooms were fairly larger then two other rooms, which were fairly larger then the one really tiny room. In the end, we managed to split it seme-decently to everyone, so i think everyone will be happy.
At night, it was still snowing, and we were deciding on if we should spend another night, or attempt to drive home. We thought the snow was letting up, so we decided to risk it. We couldn't have been more wrong. The roads resembled a ski slope. Everything was covered in snow, and you could only make out the tracks of previous cars that had braved the snow before us. That was the only way to tell where the road was. Other then that, it was just a blind guestimation of how to avoid death. We made it to a highway reststop.. only to decide to find a motel and camp out for the night.
Lesson to learn here: Risking a drive in the snow will result in physical and mental harm... at and the very least... inflict damage on your wallet.
Sunday: I woke up early to work on my car. To the car savvy: Installed an Injen Intake system. To the uncar savvy: Installed a part to make my car go vroom-vroom.
Problems occured though, and it seems that something was missing. To the car savvy: the vacuum tube connecting the intake to the engine head wasn't long enough. To the uncar savvy: thing no work to make car vroom-vroom.
Went to pepboys but the sun went down... decided to do it tomorrow.
Monday: Installed the intake with no problems. While I was doing it, I met a neighbor and his friends who were all into cars. An Acura Legend and a Jetta VR6 pushing 230 horsepower at least. Makes me feel puny. But then I drove my car, and man, doesn it sound nice. Car go VROOOAAAARRRRRRRRROOOOOMMMMM.
I'm in love.
