First Day of Class

As studious scholars in a rigorous Master's program, you can bet we were ready to hit the books our first day of school. Unfortunately, some people were hitting more than just books...

************************************************************************************

First of all, we just want to give our thanks to the MPAA allowing this guest post--we have promised to keep it clean (mostly). And we should also give props to Holly "Hells Bells" Hansen for giving permission to detail her first day at school; it was unlike any other, and will be engrained in our minds like the five stitches above her eye.

Here's a play-by-play of what happened.

BYU lot across from Wendy's: 8:49am, Bryan, Holly, and Billy depart for Sundance in Holly's AWD Subaru Outback, Mountain Dew in cup holder, 15 degrees outside, and Holly's skis have dust on them.

Sundance lower lot: 9:22am, Holly tells the parking attendant "we are VIP," the parking attendant rolls her eyes and says, "you can park in the lower lot anyway."

Rays Lift: 9:35am Snowing lightly, Bryan calls his mom, we all get cold, and then get on the Flathead lift. We were so happy.
Top of the Bearclaw run: 9:44am Billy goes first, Bryan second, and Holly third.
This happens.

Holly says, "What?! Why the long faces? Lets keep going!"

Flathead lift base: Ski patrol comes to the rescue (Trevor), applies full head wrap, and charms Holly. Billy gets quesy and sits in the snow. Bryan tries to get Holly a date with Trevor, she gives Trevor her phone number (on the injury report form).


Timpanogos Hospital ER:
11:18, Holly's heart rate is high, bp low, and does not approve of having her temperature taken.


Operating bed:
11:41, Holly tells the doctor he better do tight, small stitches. Five stitches are applied. The doctor's assistant informs Holly that she looks black and blue.

BYU lot across from Wendy's:
12:45, Holly and Bryan drop Billy off at his car. Holly announces that she's ready to go skiing on Wednesday.


Anybody else in?
