I'm not going to lie. In the history of my bad ideas, in terms of the overall effect on my future, this is probably one of the worst. The clock reads 6:13 am, but that's nothing. I have an understanding music paper due in five hours. I haven't started. I have a Spanish test in 9 hours. I haven't studied. I'm sitting here typing in my Xanga. I haven't slept. Instead I'm waiting for the library to open in a little over an hour so I can look at the University's floorplans.

The night started like any other night. I had some Couch Express, kept Megan up past her bedtime, and sat around my room with the guys. That is until I read an article on the internet detailing one former student's adventures through the secret underground tunnels at the University of Texas. Now, these tunnels are legendary on almost all college campuses, but I couldn't find a thing on the internet mentioning any tunnels here at OU. Deciding that they must exist, we accepted it as our duty to the public to find these tunnels and do something ridiculous with them, forever solidifying ourselves as Oklahoma legend.

We began by exploring random rooms and tunnels in the basement of Couch, but other than uncovering a few blueprints of the building, we came up empty handed. Next, we moved onto Adams, deciding that it's more elaborate setup might lead to more success in our search. We did end up finding a strange hallway in the basement, but Tyler heard someone in there before we could check it out, and we hauled ass to safety.

We didn't want to give up there though, so we continued combing the campus, and only finding a few unopenable grates that could possibly lead to something more underneath. We decided to call it quits and started walking back towards the dorms. Right in front of Walker we came across another grate and didn't think much of it until Tyler noticed that light could be seen if you looked at it from a certain angle. We got closer, and finally found proof that all of our searching was not for nothing. Clearly visible about 20 feet below us was a tunnel lined with what appeared to be electrical and plumbing tubes. This was obviously no place for us to enter, however, so we're still looking for an entrance to the tunnels.

This basically brings me to here: sitting in the computer lab next to Scotty, wait for the cafeteria and library to open so we can get some food and hopefully discover some way to get into these tunnels. The secret may yet be in that hall we fled from in Adams, but I'm hoping locked doors don't prevent us from getting down there. This probably made no sense because it is 6:30 in the morning now, but if anyone knows anything about being awesome and getting into the tunnels, tell me. I need to be up for another 10 hours and after that I'll be asleep for 3 or 4 days, so try to contact me after that.

Update: Scotty and I are now sitting in the library. We can't really find anything. Most of the library staff isn't here yet, so it's pretty useless. Scotty ate what might be considered the most unbalanced breakfast possible. It consisted of: a donut, Cinnamon Toast Crunch in chocolate milk, buiscuts and sausage covered in gravy, and a Coke. We have done very little work on our understanding music papers.  Doing things at the last possible second is always more fun anyways.
