How To Properly Break Your Ankle: Day 56

On this particular day, I was getting a visit from my good friend/old RA Andrew. He came bearing much wisdom -the best being how I should not go to grad school. Unfortunately, life may pan out in a way that grad school is the only option for me.

But enough about the lame stuff! What really matters is how we decided to spend our entire day together.
Amy and Andrew: Professional Adventurers.

Our day started off poorly.
This lasted a good half hour.

I was determined to show Andrew that I am capable of fun things. We started our day with a healthy, huge, breakfast. And then were on our way to the Air and Space Museum.


We played in the space exhibit first. We learned that you can't go in to space if you're broken, no space colony is complete without a trampoline, and that 4D technology is out of this world.
That last one is water getting thrown in our faces. Andrew had protection, I did not.

We went and played in the air exhibit next. This wasn't as exciting, they just had a bunch of airplanes.
Snoopy as the Red Baron was a big perk.

Once we left the Air and Space Museum we had a long walk back to the car. It was basically Andrew's form of torture. Of course, he played it off as preparation for my days at Cal Poly.
Worst. Idea. Ever.

Then we were on our way to Seaport Village for a quick stop. We went in to the kite shop and the guy working told me about how he broke his ankle once too.
We're besties now.

After our brief visit at Seaport Village, Andrew drove us to hang out with his friends. Where we proceeded to get dinner and then play Boggle for hours.
Andrew is the worst Boggle player ever.

Then, our day drew to a close and Andrew finally dropped me off at my house.

How to Properly Break Your Ankle: Days 47-54

As mentioned in other posts, I spend a lot of my time sitting on my bed, watching the next episode of Bones or a random now streaming movie on Netflix.


If the movies are really good -and my friends are online- I narrate the best parts of the movie to them. Case and point, Aliens.
"They're coming out of the goddamn walls!"

Other movies that deserve honorable mentions are:
Clash of the Titans


2001: A Space Odyssey
At first glance it may look boring....
... but once you get it, it's kind of like this.

This laziness can occur for days on end until something interrupts me; like my roommate needing Netflix for a paper, or the mailman delivering a package. This package was no ordinary package though. No. This package came with a specially wrapped new super power for Crutch Girl.


What followed was a sequence of awesome that can best be described with this comic panel:


Thus marks the first time Crutch Girl ventured out on her own.
