I GOT TO RIDE IN THE BACK OF A POLICE CAR!

Ok, well, I should totally be asleep right now, but I just have a lot on my mind and can not sleep, so here is a fun story about my night, and most of the reason why I am unable to fall asleep right now.

A big group of girls I am friends with decided to all go see the midnight premiere of New Moon tonight. We leave campus around 6:30 to get dinner and hang out before getting in line for the movie. Dinner was good, and it was nice to spend some time with them, and not having to think about school. So, we finish, and go to Barnes and Noble to change into our "team edward" shirts and grab Starbucks to keep us awake throughout the movie. We wait in line for a while, and are actually at the theater for three hours before the movie actually started. Finally, the movie starts, and it's good. Better than Twilight in my opinion, and Taylor Lautner... well, he was cut. haha. (but Josh, I still like you best!) We leave the theater.

Okay, here is where the real fun starts. We drive back to campus, no big deal. Then I go back with Holly and Sarah to the PR lot so no one has to walk alone to their dorms at 3:00 at night. We go park Sarah's car at the Battle House and begin to walk Sarah back to Old West, when we decide it would be best to push the emergency button and get an escort. Well, the operator is a complete jerk. We tell her that we are three girls alone and don't feel safe, and she so rudely tells us to call the P2P and hangs up. DPS fail #1. So we have no choice, and call the P2P. Well, we have to wait for it, so we are sitting near a dorm waiting for the P2P, when an older man, who seems to be drunk, starts stumbling across the street towards us. So naturally, we run away towards Sarah's dorm, since it isn't too far away, calling the P2P telling us where to meet us, since we change locations. We stop in Old East, since it is closer and there is another person down the street, so better safe than sorry. We are waiting on the P2P, but still just standing still, like sitting ducks. Not too safe, and it is taking a ridiculously long time for our supposed "saferide" to show up. DPS fail #2. But, it was comforting to see a rabbit near the Old Well. I saw it, and I really felt God there, protecting us. Moments later, a Campus Police car drives by and stops, and we ask him if he can take us back to Joyner. An answered prayer maybe? He can't say no, or that would be a bigger fail. So, Holly and I climb in back, and make it back to Joyner.

What can I say? It was an adventure, one I definitely do not want to repeat. Wow, I really need sleep. Sometime soon, I will be complaining to someone important about this DPS FAIL. Maybe I'll be able to fall asleep...
