After pawning some sports memorabilia, we drove into town,
bought some beers and headed to the beach. Just a week after
arriving on campus, we had already gotten into trouble. Whilst
waiting for a disciplinary ruling, my partner in crime Eddie, went
surfing for a whole two days. He had fun riding the waves and his
fake stories were the main event around campfires for two nights.
On the third day, he came back to find me packing my bags—we
both had been expelled.
