csi_sanders1129 | PRS OPEN HOUSE (DAY 2)

So, Day 2/2. Checked out of the hotel at like 10 something and then started driving. We stopped at a Panera Bread for breakfast/lunch because I was craving it almost as bad as I was craving a Starbucks coffee at B&N. Then stopped at Kohl's because, well, Mom said we had to. I got an awesome jacket thingy and some new jeans, though! Yay! Ugh, got back to State College around 1:15 or so. Most people were out on some scavenger hunt. They were kind of insane since most of the stuff was in or around the Penn State campus... which you'd really have to be nits to be near with the Parent's Weekend going on. A good few of us opted against the insanity and chilled outside the building with Josh. They let us in a little bit early and let us shop in the PRS store. Got a really awesome t-shirt - Further WIthout Fear, with the verse from the Rhime of the Ancient Mariner poem that Ryan love son the back --

Like one that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread

-- But yeah. They told us that Ryan was sick - he'd been sickish yesterday and Sergey, too - and he probably wouldn't be there until the Group Photo/Goodbye, so his last lecture was canceled and his group split into the remaining lectures. From there, they sent us all of to our last lectures.

Lecture #3 - Sergey and Josh on Evidence Analysis. They played some video clips and some audio recordings about some odd evidence and then talked about a few of their absolutely bat-shit insane clients. Michelle was there, too, and she is not allowed near the technology lest it self-destructs apparently. They were all really funny.

When that wrapped up, it was time to do the Group Photo/Goodbye stuff and while everything was getting set up outside, Sergey told us all that Ryan wouldn't be coming back today at all. He said Xander was at home watching him and that once everyone left he'd go back and make Ryan green tea and noodle soup. So at least Ryan's not totally suffering. Took the picture, got quick pictures with Michelle and another one with Sergey (who, btw, smokes. Ick. -_-) and then Mom and I had to leave - since she had to drive me back out here and then go home. So much driving O_O.

Made it back here by like 5:30. Stopped for dinner and was just informed Mom made it back home safely. So yay!
