A series of ridiculous events - part I

I started this, if you can even count it as a legit blog, a couple of months ago...
then I abandoned it due to laziness. I didn't think I'd be back, but you know, it's days/events like the last few days/events I've had that just REALLY make you WANT to have a blog.
I might get lazy again, but for now, I'm wired.

Thursday:

I needed to pay the rent today. I didn't have cash or a check and refused to add an additional $30 to my already ridiculous rent by paying with credit card. So I decide to make a trip to good old Wells Fargo.
Problem.. there's only an atm on campus and I needed to deposit/withdraw too much money to trust an atm.
Simple, I'll just drive to DOWNTOWN.
(FORGETFUL EVENT #1) I go to my car from my apartment - five minute walk - and realize I left my keys in the apartment. UGH.
Whatever, I get the cash, come back, go to class, go back to the apt, give the money and BAM - "We don't take cash."

At this point I'm laughing.

I go BACK to downtown. The guy in the parking lot remembered me. And so did the nice, but so did the creepishly flirtatious bank manager. "Ah, well, you know, it's nice to see pretty girls like you around here."

GET THE MONEY ORDER (whatever that is) AND LEAVE.
+ $4 fee for money orders.

The evening was great though.

We, the Trojans, Pac-10 champs, finally know where our tuition money is going. Bonfires, music artists, fireworks, ferris wheels, laser tag, churros, sprinkles cupcakes, diddy riese's, and well, you know, massages.
Thursday night was Conquest! - the annual event/rally leading to our crosstown rivalry game with UCLA, aka four-letter word, as a friend calls it. So what does USC do??
They call in the Gym Class Heroes to perform with a backdrop of a Bruin burning in effigy and a customized ferris wheel. Oh yeah, there was also a rather impressive fireworks show.

WHAT A DAY!
