To end the semester on a high note

The Wednesday before school officially ended for the summer was full of some rollicking fun. In order to fully take advantage of the day, I called my supervisor simply telling him that I couldn't make in to work that day, then Blaine and I picked up our two favorite females, Jessica and Olivia. After selling back our books for a hefty sum of money, we pulled onto the highway that would lead to Idaho Falls where we would spend our newly acquired money without a single rational thought to tempt us into a responsible state of mind. For Blaine and I it's a tradition to spend book money on things we've always wanted but haven't had the money to buy. Or, maybe we haven't had the money available, needing to use it for other purposes completely unrelated to fun in any way.

Once we had nearly arrived in IF (which is how eastern Idahoans refer to Idaho Falls) we took a wrong turn, which can't by any means be blamed on our noble driver, who honestly seemed to know his way, until the rest of us led him astray by our wildly uneducated comments about the region and street layout. Unfortunately, that wrong turn was I-15 and we ended up having to drive until the next exit which was about ten miles down. The best part about the wrong turn was these three giant soda cans sitting right on the side of the road next to an old closed-down convenience store, I suppose to advertise which liquid beverages it provided to thirsty passerbys. Once we debated and argued over what was actually inside the gargantuan cans, we settled on soda-flavored (and carbonated) propone. Interesting stuff in Idaho, eh?

We bought plenty of fun junk at the teton mall with which to end the semester on a high note, but the pinnacle of the activity wasn't, of course, material.
