Extra Credit Pendulum visit

I started my adventure around 6:15.  Why this time you might ask? This is the hour of greatness.  The number six was viewed by the Greek Gods as even greater than the number three, traditionally the most called upon number.  The number six is also worn by Lebron James, arguably the best basketball player in the world right now, and also worn by my very own father.  For these reasons, when the clock struck six, I knew this was the time for me to go. When I left my dorm, the sun was just setting and the Clemson skyline was unlike it has been on any other day.  Presented before me was a dark and dreary sky with the exception of a small hole in the clouds directly above the crest of a distant mountain.  Peaking through this hole were gentle rays of sunlight taking their last breaths before they were covered by the impending darkness of night.  These rays projected beautiful shimmers of orange and purple light creating a soothing blend that reminded me of a soft freshly baked kaiser roll.  I began to walk towards the pendulum and quickly discovered that I was ill-prepared for the trek.  There were numerous puddles of rain water that seemed to be attacking my skimpy non-waterproof shoes.  I persevered through this challenge and eventually made it to the pendulum with soaked shoes.  The whole time I was walking over I was wondering if would be moving or not when I got there.  When we took the field trip in class it was not working.  It seems that whenever I hope for such things they never seem to come true but to my surprise, I rounded the corner and saw the ball slowly swaying back and forth.  My excitement overtook me and I let out a gentle cry that sounded similar to the horn of an old volkswagon bug.  The cry actually never came out but if it had I imagine that is what it would have sounded like.  I was as happy as a fox in a hen house.  The excitement, however, wore off very quickly as I realized I was getting cold and my feet were getting more and more pruned.  I did take the time to read the label and discover that it was build by the physics professor Albert Reed.  I then grew bored and headed back to the comfort of my dorm.
