Party and Delta Chi Xi Class Car Wash

Two days ago (practically yesterday) Juan invited a few guys over to hang out and party since his roommates had split for the weekend to Vegas. I finally managed to get there around 12:00 AM and saw Juan, Marco, Ryan, Eric “Tweety,” Gaston, and Patrick. It looked like there had been some serious beer pong tournaments before I got there as they had already set up a win / loss bracket. Any who, beer pong continued through the night while others played FIFA Soccer on the PS2. Finally Eric had to head home and since I was the only one there that could drive, and had a car, I took him home.

When I got back Jorge and Kevin were there and Ryan was not. Eventually Patrick and Jorge wanted to go to the Dorms to hang out with some girls, and being the nice guy I am, I took them to the dorms. I chilled for a bit and said hello to everyone there until they decided to leave for the Delta Chi house to watch Sponge Bob the movie. Not wanting to leave my Xi Class members I headed back to Juan’s house. Once back at the house we started watching the movie “Saw.”

I think it was darn close to 4:00 AM by the time that we finished the movie and Marco went home. At this time Juan, Kevin, and I decided to try to get what sleep we could before our Xi Class Car Wash in four hours. Kevin went to sleep pretty fast on the couch, but it took me until 5:00 AM just to feel like I could sleep, eventually I probably went to sleep around 6:00 AM.

At 7:00 AM my cell phone, Kevin’s cell phone, and Juan’s alarm clock spatted off and woke Kevin and I up. Eventually around 7:20 AM we started to motivate and I went to see if Juan was up. After all of us were done being pissed we had to wake up so early we finally got out of the house and headed to our cars. When we got there Kevin and I saw that we had been cited for towing. Knowing that if a tow truck came by and saw the citation they could tow the cars we both jumped in and headed for the car wash.

We got to the car wash around 8:00 AM and immediately started in on washing Jessica’s (Alejandro’s girl) car. Eventually around 8:30 AM I headed off with Gus to try and flag people down and let them know about the car wash. For three, count them 3 hours Gus and I whored ourselves out trying to get people to come to the car wash. We waved, we hollered, we announced the car wash, and we had fun! Armando was also holding a sign that showed them where the car wash was exactly at, and if we got too many cars I would take over his sign and he would go wash cars to try to get them done faster. All in all it was a great time, I had fun, I got sunburned…good times all around. :p

Towards the end around 11:30 AM when Gus and I had walked over to help finish washing cars, the owner of the 76 station wondered what was going on, why we were doing this, and who gave us permission to do it. After some discussion we were asked to shut down the car wash. We finished up the last few cars and gave the 76 station owner wife’s car a free car wash. We cleaned everything up and talked with him one last time about what to do next time. We now know who the owner is, so we can go directly to him from now on.

At this time I had to go so I could make the last part of the Calvary Chapel Men’s Conference with my dad, so I said my goodbyes and headed out.

Jump 4 Kids

Ok, well, I’m late in writing this as it actually took place November 1st, 2005, but hey better late then never.

So it was 11:00 AM and I was getting ready to go take a shower knowing that Jump 4 Kids was going to happen between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM so I figured that leaving at 11:40 AM and getting there around 11:55 AM would be fine. Well…plan’s don’t go always as planned. I screwed around checking my mail and lost track of time. I hopped in the shower and got done, but when I looked at the clock after I got out, I realised that something was wrong…it was 11:40 AM. I rushed to get my daily prep done and got out the door as soon as I could.

I finally got to the event at 12:10 PM and immediately started taking pictures of everyone. I don’t think anyone minded, but I still felt bad. Any who, I continued taking pictures and movie clips of everyone and got some good shots. I believe I heard that we were able to raise $800 for the Boys and Girls club close towards the end when I had to go to class.

All in all it was a fun event. I was impressed by how long some of the guys were able to jump for. I did it for 5 minutes and had enough, then again I did have two charlie horses in both legs from the other day’s activities, but hey, whatever. :P
