A Tick in the Family

Today was no ordinary day. Well, it started off ordinary and then turned into a weird, awkward day. No one was expecting what was about to happen. We were all sitting around the apartment studying for finals, blogging, sleeping, eating, and staring off into space.  Suddenly Emily ran out announcing she had a problem. "I think I have a problem! I think something is wrong with me!", Emily yells. "What is your problem!!!", we were all wondering. "I think I have a tick!", she says lifting her shirt, to expose the awkward, brown, black, buggy, thing hanging from her stomach. "Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" Tay, the one who should be a nurse, quickly takes action and begins calling people to figure out what to do. Tay tries burning the bug out. It doesn't work! Google! That doesn't work either! "Call the doctor's office!" "Call the Student Wellness Center!" They say to rush Emily in because she could lose her leg! We all start to run around trying to find our shoes and do our hair! Tay's poor grilled cheese was still on the stove, don't worry it's not completely burnt. We all run in slow motion towards the Pilot, music is playing in the background, we jump over bocce balls, sewage drains, and bikes. We make it to the Pilot and try to make our get away, but people are walking in extremely slow motion behind us! "Freaaaaaks, she's going to lose a leg!!!" We swerve around them, through trees, and past the cemetery. The brakes squeak as we make an abrupt stop in front of the Student Wellness Center. We rush in and the ladies at the front desk know exactly why we are there. "Right this way Ms. Chandler, we will get this awkward, brown, black, buggy thing hanging from your stomach out of you!" Only Tay is allowed to go back with Emily.  Nichelle and I listen to the painful screams coming from the darkened hallway. "Make it stop! It burns!", we hear Emily scream. Then lightning strikes! Emily comes walking out like a zombie with blood gushing from her stomach! "Noooooo Emily!" She survives, as well as the nasty buggy thing that had previously been hanging from her stomach. The nurse tries to kill the infectious buggy thing. But fails. The bug comes back to the apartment with us and attempts to eat all of us. Don't worry, we all have super ninja skills and we were able to destroy this nasty beast that came to our apartment!

Emily with the Beast!

The Beast!

The Beast again!
