Tonight I went with michael, Chris, and others out to Fenton, MO where we raced go-karts and splashed each other in bumper boats. A lot of fun was had by all, but a return trip might be necessary, as the Apartment 12 Go-Kart Showdown was marred by the fact that Chris's go-kart was extremely underpowered, which made our race a bit of a blowout. But we had a good time bumping each other and racing around the track.

Anyway, that was the second race of the night. The first race was a bit different. In addition to the six of us on the track, there were also a few other cars, one of which was driven by a little red-haired kid who pretty much put us all to shame. It was next to impossible to get around him. I sneaked past him when he pulled up next to his dad and little brother in one of the double cars, but I don't think anyone else got around him (although michael was getting pretty close there at the end). I almost lapped Chris in that race, but they called us into the pits before I got the chance. I'd been gaining on him all race, and I'd finally caught up to him when they ended the race. I just needed one more lap to take him.

In between go-kart races we did the bumper boats. We had to pair up so that all of us could be out at the same time, but I think we all had a good time.

After we got back from the track michael and I made tacos and had a late dinner. The tacos were really good and pretty cheap. I think we made 12 tacos for less than $6, which beats Taco Bell.

Classes start tomorrow for me. I have a 1 o'clock class and a 5:30 class. I'm not really ready for them, but I guess I'll make do. It's somewhat sad that classes haven't started and I'm already looking forward to having Monday off, though.
