Bloody Ice and Masked Characters

I am bleeding in at least three places and tomorrow my right leg will refuse to move.  And it was totally awesome.
Today began well enough with a decently easy physics quiz.  I came back to the apartment to make snicker doodles (I felt like sharing some love at UCSD and missed home <3).  Baking reminds me of the tiny kitchen I grew up in and so so so many epic days.  The apartment had a sort-of holiday/homey/cheery feel to it, with just the slightest aroma of cinnamon sugar in the air.
My afternoon class was cancelled so I spent some time figuring out classes.  I realized that one of my classes was not going to count for credit (long and frustrating story) and I am still in the process of working that out.
My marathon day had just begun even though I have been up since eight.  I met Mike down at the Cliffs with his physics class to watch the sunset and raced back to campus to meet Amy for our Phi Beta LambdA-mazing race.  We were given a list of items to film or photograph around campus with a deadline.  Amy and I made complete fools out of ourselves, laying on the ground to imitate Ke$ha (..I wake up in the morning feeling like P-Diddy..), filming a dance-off and serenading a stranger.  Our team “Trees” (don’t ask) ended up winning the race with Amy’s impression of the Old Spice man.  Yeah, free tee shirts!
My very late dinner was relatively chill, my signature salad and a classic episode of HIMYM with Amy.  After a full day, my night was about to begin.
Mike, Ben and I made our way over to the local ice rink for broomball with an engineering club.  I was unsure about the whole thing… sneakers on ice, some mini soccer balls and hockey sticks with little covers on them and, honestly, and engineering club… but decided to give it a shot.  My goodness, it was amazing.  The game is incredibly fun and all of the people were great company.  I took a couple of nasty spills, thus a cut on my hand, a blister, cut on my elbow and a very bruised behind.  But it was all worth it.  I was thrilled to make a couple of blocks and goal assists (there were so many people, I was surprised to get a stick on the ball).  When I actually scored, though, I was ecstatic.  The night concluded with a slurpee run (GOODNESS THERE IS A LOT OF SUGAR IN THOSE, hence me writing this post at 2:20) and me walking back to the apartment.
Yeah, I was bored and have Photoshop...
I saw a chill looking guy standing by the dumpsters outside my building.  I looked around and realized he was watching a raccoon walk around the bins.  Slurpee in hand, I pulled out my camera to get a couple of pics and ended up finding more of the raccoon family.  I could tell I was now entertaining the guy more than the raccoons so I talked to him.  He thought I was crazy for thinking they were cute.  But seriously, look at them.  They are cute.
I just finished this very high sugar high with a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Fyi, that is some delicious cereal.
Well, with that, I am going to grab some Tylenol and try to sleep.  Lots of work and fun coming up this weekend.
