Friday, November 18, 2005
1. Finish packing for weekend getaway, don't forget gloves dammit!

2. Check portable grill for stowaway mini-propane tank and matches.

3. Clear grill box of either item, or simply allow car trunk to explode with brilliance and fury, whichever happens first.

4. Get on road to Champaign, check into 4-star luxury hotel also known as "The La Quinta by the Mall."

5. Tailgate for first time at UIUC-NWU game.

6. Try not to cry when Illini get massacred. Again.

7. Attempt to stay sober enough to show Sean around campus, making sure to hit hotspots such as 1005 S. Wright St., the convenience store that is responsible for my Diet Coke addiction, and other fabulous tourist attractions.

8. Sleep it off.

9. Breakfast at Denny's.

10. Drive home.

11. Make quick stop in a random town like Dwight, or perhaps Manteno, when the caffeine kicks in.
