Bowling for Credit DAY 2

So Day 2, nowhere as cool as Day 1. The only good thing about today's class was that my high score improved. It now sits at 117. But that's about it. And that was only because I hit a good groove for a little bit.

So here's the deal. I show up a smidge before 10. No 40 yet. No big deal. I sign in, get my shoes go back to my lane and start entering in names. Me first then 40. A few minutes later a kid comes in, asks me if he can use my lane, I mention I'm waiting for a friend so he grabs the next lane over. No big deal. Its about 10am, 40 should get here in a few minutes.

Another kid comes in. I recognize him from the neighboring lane yesterday. He starts putting his name in on the that lane. Now for some reason he doesn't know how to work it, and just added the letters from his name to the end of the other kid's name. Rather than fix it, he comes over to my side, erases 40's name and adds his own, then he starts the game. I tell him I'm waiting for a friend, he mumbles, "Ok."

It's now 10:05am. No 40. I'm content to wait but this other kid is getting a little pissed, so whatever, I say, "Ok. Lets play." I forgot to mention already that I've gotten the blue and yellow balls I used yesterday and put them in the rack. Well I bowl my first frame or whatever its called. The other kids goes. Now its my turn again, and I notice, no blue ball. This is because another one of the kids I remember from the next lane over, yesteday, is back, bowling next to me, with my ball.

He proceeds to use only that blue ball for the rest of the class. PFFFFFFFFFFFF. FIne, whatever, I'm not going to make a scene. Bitching about that is what this blog is for anyway. But to top it off, this kid is a "lobber." Now WPI has a very up-to-date, modern bowling alley, I t was renovated like...two years ago. One of the few things it lacks is a "no lofting the ball" sign above each lane.

Each time this kid bowls. Each and every time, he heaves the ball onto the lane. Not only is the loud "bang" annoying as hell every time he bowls, it is also a remind of the permanent damage this kid is doing to the lane. And the kid bowling with him wonders why he did so badley. Bowling balls tend to not go straight as they roll through dips and crators in the lane.

Last thing. 40 never showed. Not the end of the world. I mean, hell, I missed the first two classes. It was just less fun holding back all my anger today instead of making retarded comments to someone I've known for all of college.

Now its time for MQP. MQP for the rest of the day, and beyond.
