I love the Earth

Although it is Wednesday, I would like to backtrack to Monday, which was Earth Day.  My Earth Day was pretty fabulous, and here is why.  First of all, I got a free ISU Camelbak water bottle.  There is a somewhat comical story behind how I was able to obtain it.  I did not know this until later, but there was a water bottle give away on the quad for the first 750 people who brought a plastic water bottle to be recycled and as a trade in for the Camelbak one.  When I got to my Spanish class, one of these water bottles was just chilling under the desk next to me.  Normally, I am in no way a supporter of stealing.  However, I really wanted that water bottle.  I casually slipped it into my backpack when no one one looking. 

One of my classmates entered and began talking about the Camelbak water bottle give away on the quad.  There had been a hugeee line to get one that wrapped all the way around the quad.  Perfect! I thought.  I just obtained a brand new water bottle that someone else definitely would have snatched up if I hadn't.  Another girl commented that someone had left one and went to point it out.  However, it had "disappeared" AKA was in my backpack.  As everyone who had seen it there two minutes earlier began to exclaim "Oh my god!  Where did it go?" and "Whaaat? How did it just disappear?!" I played along. "Uhh hmm yeah... Very mysterious..." 

Also, ISU Sustainability had a twitter contest that day.  If you tweeted at them your Earth Day plans you were entered to win a new bike.  I tweeted my untrue plans of sitting out on the quad and taking extra time to enjoy the beautiful weather and nature.  Well guess what? I won the gran prize! Ex ISU President Al Bowman is going to present me with my bike sometime this week.  We will also take some photos together hahaha.  I am not going to ditch Sherly though (AKA my adorable $80 bike from Walmart). I am too in love with my current bike and her cute new wicker basket.   

I'd say that it was definitely a great to to celebrate planet Earth.
