running

{disclaimer: this post will only make sense to probably just a few people...}

when i was a freshman at byu, i lived in the dorms. and i loved it! one of the best parts about it was dining plus, which is a meal card that let me eat anywhere on campus and in the cafeteria right by the dorms. i usually ate most of my meals up on campus but i was usually home every night to eat dinner in the cannon center. my friends and i usually studied* until one of us started getting hungry and then we'd call each other (we lived right down the hall) and we would all head down to eat. well, for some reason, some of us couldn't stand walking the 20 yards from our dorm to the cannon center so felt the need to run as fast as we could to get there to eat. were we excited to eat the cafeteria food? usually no. excited to meet all the boys that we had called to come eat then, too? usually yes. but really, i think we just thought we had somewhere to be so let's get there fast.

so, why am i bringing this up? trav and i park our car in a lot that is specifically for our building. the only problem is that lot is probably just a little further from our back door than my dorm was from the cannon center. but for some reason, whenever i am leaving to go somewhere (without calvin) i ALWAYS run to my car. i'm not in a hurry to get anywhere, usually. i don't do it for that 1/4 pound i may be shaving off. i'm not really sure why i do this except that i do. and every time i do this i think back to the good ol' days of the cannon center and my girls running to get our food. and then i think of forest gump.
