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?

I have a few things to say:
(a) my condolences to miss hells bells for her fall---you may use my heating pad to warm your sore muscles tonight. Oh wait, you are already doing that.
(b) thanks for the invite everyone. maybe i'm not from utah but maybe i still love sundance
(c) thanks to bryan for the photography and to billy for the minute by minute replay. it was a much better tale than what i got out of my weak roommate.

love you all. and i love the mpas. oh and i love these guest posts.
