May 4

It drizzled all day today. Rather pleasant really. Nothing eventful, except I have a fair amount of pressure with my trig. final coming up, spending a lot of time studying for that. Just one more week and all my classes will be over. So, about May 16 I'll start working.
Oh, one thing did happen today. I was shooting some hoops in the rec center, and there was a basketball game going on the court next to me. I was half-way watching the game when I heard a loud "SNAP." Just like a very brittle stick broken in half, only it was a kid's shin bone (is that the Femur?). He was a pretty built kid, and you wouldn't think that someone coming down from a rebound and landing on his leg would snap it, but it did, and how. He stood there on one foot holding his broken leg like he was stretching his quad for about 2 minutes before he really started to yell that he needed help. The other players laid him down on the cushy chairs where spectators sit, and I ran to the front desk for a medic. I don't think I conveyed the urgency of the issue the first time (I didn't really realize it was totally broken myself) so the rec staff took their time getting there. After a minute of waiting no one had shown up to help yet, so I ran back and put a fire under one guys kiester and got him over there. About five minutes later the medics from the ambulance and fire department arrived, they took over and that's when I left to go work out my bi's and tri's.
#1 That kid really broke it. Like, you held the lower part of his leg up and his foot would fall.
#2 I shot a few more hoops after I learned he had broken it, and every time I came down I was aware of the pressure on my shins and was hoping they wouldn't break. That would hurt.
