CMCC's first Road Trip

ROAD TRIP!!! I don’t work today, so what do I decide to do? Pack up my bags and hop in a bus with 29 athletes, 3 friends and 6 coaches. We’re heading to Vermont for our first conference basketball game.  Only a casual 10 hour Friday drive.  We’re about 3 hours into it and I am anxiously awaiting our pit stop for lunch in Lebanon, NH… only 54 more miles til we get to civility and food! Then an additional two hours to Rutland, VT.

Everybody had been saying “well at least you get a coach bus.” Yeah, true, it’s way better than a school bus… but I would much rather us have our own team plane.  I mean, the fabric on the seats is itchy, I still don’t have enough leg room, and the “shades” with all of the little holes in them make zero difference.  I also feel like I shouldn’t recline my seat because I know I hate it when people in front of me recline.  Like, HELLOOOO, I’m behind you, you ass hole.  Another complaint about the “top of the line” coach busses, THE EFFING TV’S.  They’re the smallest thing invented, they wobble from the ceiling so I’m always terrified they’re going to fall on someone’s head, they’re fuzzy and turn the damn volume up.  If you’re trying to make my ride more enjoyable by giving me the luxury of trying to lip read from a small, static television, you are sadly mistaken.

Here’s what I’ve done to pass the time: I’ve read for almost two hours.  I’ve attempted lip reading “Cool Runnings”.  I’ve creepily stared at people sleeping.  Eaten a muffin.  Listened to some Weezy on my iPod.  Played one game of “Vortex” and half a game of “Solitaire.”  Currently I’m listening to Dubstep remix songs imagining myself being a really good dubstepper-or whatever they’re called.  I’ve attempted to sleep for about 7 minutes.

Then the joy to think, our games are at 5 and 7, so I’ll be home around 3 a.m. 

As sarcastic as this is,  I am actually really excited for the game! But it would be nice if someone could invent teleportation so I could just be there already! That’s the only super power I would want.  Teleport to a game, WIN, and teleport home.  It would give me so much more free time to…. Ummm… drink beer? Eat frosting? Go to Church? Make rabbit stew? Who knows what I would do with all that time?!?!
