Yesterday, from five to seven, was Michael\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first lab of the semester. Since WVU Parking Authority stops ticketing at four, we decided that if he drove to lab he would not have to leave work as early, so that would be best.<\/p>\n
So at five, I walked down to the PRT station and took the PRT to Engineering. Now, to get from the Engineering PRT station to where Michael parked the car, the most direct route is to walk through the Mineral Engineering building<\/a> where my father works, so I thought I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d stop by my dad<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office, and say hi if he was there. He was, and we chatted for a bit, which was nice. I learned that three of my brother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s dogs are still at my parent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s house, and it looks like Cyrus<\/a> will remain indefinitely. Lucky Dad.<\/p>\n I eventually said I should get home, and Dad says he needed to get to the gym before it closed, which settled it. There is no way I was going to be the reason Dad didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make it to the gym. If he wants to irritate Mom, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s his business, but I do not want to bear the brunt of her wrath for his non-exercise.<\/p>\n When I reached the exit, I saw Michael standing there, and we had the following conversation:<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hi, dear! Did you just finish? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been up talking to Dad,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d I said. No, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll feel guilty about this at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, from five to seven, was Michael\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first lab of the semester.

\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been done for a little bit,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he replied. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We finished early.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Were you waiting long? You should have come up to Dad\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office to see if I was there.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well, I thought about it, but was afraid that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d miss you as you walked down from his office.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, well why didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you just leave a note in the car so I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t leave without you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nSilence.<\/p>\n
