Day 24. Marine Mammal Day

Tent 8 took a field trip to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences today!  After another sloppy night we all woke up decently early and at 10 we hit up Bojangles and headed to the museum to experience the free marine mammal exhibit.  Everyone was pumped and ready to museum it, until we got to the Durham Museum of Life and Science and realized that was not the right place.  I am an idiot.  We had to be back at Kville to play in our 3-on-3 basketball game at 12:30 so we booked it back.

The game did not turn out as expected.  Per usual, tent 8 was a mess getting to the game and we started 8 minutes late.  According to the rules, the opposing team startedd the game with an 8 point lead.  Also the first half lasted only 2 minutes because we started late.  Eric, Kevin and I played against tent 27.  Shout out to Katie Shoemaker!!  They ended up beating us by 7.  Technically we won.  I'm just saying.

However, losing the game wasn't terrible because then we were able to journey to the right museum and experience the lovely marine mammals.  Myself, Kyle, Eric, Gabby, Kevin, Jack, and Jin all trekked the 30 minutes to Raleigh to go to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.  We enjoyed the day off campus doing normal people activities rather than the same college day weekend stuff.  We also went to Mellow Mushroom for dinner which blows Marketplace out of the water.  Except for Jin and his calzone.  His food didn't come out until the rest of us had already finished eating.  Opps.  It was still delicious though.  The day turned out rather fun and eventful, minus my whole driving situation.  That was the one thing not on par today.  It's all good though because last time I checked we did a head count and all of the tenting passengers were still alive.  That is what I call success.

Tonight will be a strange night in Kville because only 2 people are required to sleep out.  I shall be heading over there later after I do homework to watch a movie with Kyle.  I am excited to hear about the 3-on-3 tournament and to see all the white tents up!!
