An air mattress, a sheet, a pillow, and my unconscious body became one within minutes of arriving at my sister’s. Sleeping little the night before and unable to get much sleep on the bus combined into me falling asleep the instant my head hit the pillow and sleeping for about 12 hours. My sister came home from work around 2 and told me to get some more sleep for the next day. I went back to the mattress and quickly fell asleep again.
Jojo (sister’s boyfriend) left around 8 to pick up his niece to join us on our trip into New York. He got back and we walked to the Path into NYC. Getting off at 33rd St, we transferred to the subway, took the Q, and got off on 55th Street. There’s a big crowd already. I guess it is 9, it would have started already.

So I never did finish my paper until morning, so I had no time to write any Thanksgiving break posts. This still isn’t it. So last night, we went to Asgard for trivia night. Mark, Andrew, Zac, Ana, and I gathered and headed to the lobby to meet Conner2 for our IFAF(interfloor activities fund). When everyone was there, we headed out to Mass Ave toward Central Square towards Asgard. As we walked, Snively was talking about shooting and what he would do if someone broke into his house. (Beware all) We made it to the Irish restaurant and sat down in the corner. We ordered our food and waited until 9 for the trivia to begin.
“What river runs through the Grand Canyon?” The Colorado, of course! Yes. Easy questions. This is going to be fun. I sure was wrong about the easy questions. They got hard, weird, and obscure. They were also hard to hear. In the entire restaurant, there was only one speaker, and we were around a corner from the speaker. Lots of people were talking also so we couldn’t hear over them. With these problems, we were getting tired of trivia and left halfway through. We didn’t want to struggle through another hour so we headed home. Free food is always good and delicious.
When you’re trying to do a trivia thing with people reading the questions in a loud restaurant, make sure everyone who’s trying to play can hear. Add more speakers!
