Everything's a blur

Sorry i havent posted forever. School started and 10 minutes later it somehow became Jan 27th. Hmmmm..... where do i start? I guess I will just explain my weird hockey trip I just went on this past weekend:
So the plan was to leave I.F. at 5am THursday morning and play 3 hockey games against 3 different colleges. So we are driving towards Colorado Springs on Thursday, and at about 1:30pm our bus breaks down on the Interstate! Fortunately (for me) we were only 10 miles out of Laramie, so I had Onika come and pick me up so I could escape being trapped in a hot, broken down bus on the side of the highway. She dropped me back when the next bus arrived to bail us out. But then- what do you know- the NEXT bus broke down FIFTEEN MINUTES later! THey told us 4 hours till the next bus would arrive. I absolutely hate being in that type of situation, so once again, called Onika and had her pick me up. At this point, we were going to miss our first hockey game, so I decided to ditch my team till the following night when our next game was.
Because of all that undue stress the whole thing had caused, I decided to spend a day skiing with Onika. She provided the free ski pass and the tele setup and we went skiing. Then I got a Rent-a-car and drove it to Boulder and visited all my Jackson buddies (Rusty, Kyle, John, and Krissy) and took them to my hockey game.
I guess you could say we pretty much got slaughtered. But I scored! Yipperooo.
From the time we left till the time we got back our team had experienced 6 BUSSES BREAKING DOWN ON THEM!! It was such a joke. I was pretty glad that I got a rent-a-car and was able to ski and visit long lost friends (even though it was expensive).
