Gas Anyone?

We started out at 9:30. We traveled toward Mt. Rushmore by way of Oklahoma City. We could have traveled through Amarillo, Texas, but we wanted to look at Oklahoma City University. It apparently has a great dance program and the theatre and music isn’t bad either. We didn’t get a tour or anything like that. We just stopped in to get information. And looking closer at the Areas of Study, OCU looks kind of like a place I’d like to go. Under theatre, an area of study is Triple Threat. That would be fun to study. The campus, what we saw of it, wasn’t horrible either. I liked the look of the buildings. The lady at the admissions desk wasn’t that friendly, however. She wasn’t unfriendly, but she didn’t really greet us, like at Otterbein. But of course, we didn’t call in a head of time. So our conclusion is to call a head of time to get the best results, but we always knew that.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, there is an outside theatre that is performing “Oklahoma” and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”. We really wanted to see the shows, but the theatre was out of the way and we needed to get to Mt. Rushmore.

Fried Green Tomatoes is a pretty good book. I would be done with it if I didn’t have to hi-light everything and make notes. That’s why I hate reading for English (which is all I have time for. No reading for pleasure anymore). Once Fried Green Tomatoes is done, I’ll only have 2 more books to read before I can try to get 30 points extra credit for English.

We had to fix our car. First off, we needed gas badly, so we weren’t sure if that was the reason for the car trouble. A red warning light came on and we suddenly couldn’t drive faster than 50 miles per hour. In truth, we should have gotten the car checked while in Disney World (it needed a check-up then), but we didn’t do so I guess we paid for it. We were stopped on the side of the freeway for a while before help came. The result…we were out of gas. Yes, ladies and gentlemen that’s right. Even though I told Dad that we needed to get gas, we still managed to run out. I guess he’ll listen next time we say, “Hey Dad, we need gas”.

It’ll take us 2 days to get to Mt. Rushmore and day 1 is completed. We figure it’ll take 12 hours to get to Mt. Rushmore. It’ll be a great car ride…I hope.
