If one wants to prove that chaos has a schedule, then my winter break routine could be used to attempt to make the argument. After my last exam I'd go hard and blow it out in Blacksburg. The venue was dependent on the year: dorm, apartment party or downtown, but the result was all the same. What looked like a long night would be cut short from overindulgence, libations and greasy-ass food, beers and whatever was cheap followed up usually by a 20-inch Gumby's pizza slathered in ranch dressing. I only rolled on twenties yo. The next morning I'd sell all my books, hop in the car, use the cash to finance my trip home, and haul it north. Once there it was a continuous rotation of eat, sleep, watch football and party. Rinse and repeat until I felt dirty. I'm sure the vast majority of undergrads did and do something similar.
David Wilson does not.
However, after the Orange Bowl David Wilson embarked on a well deserved break, some of which is documented here.
He first decided to visit France for a couple of days, because that's just what intelligent cultured people do. He traveled across Alsace, heard Emmanuel toll at Cathédrale Notre Dame and made his way to Paris.
Of course he just had to climb the Eiffel Tower. I mean, it was there and all. From the top he was able to get as good of a look at the world as the world had of him.
Calvin Klein was in Paris wrapping up the final touches of the 2011 cK Spring Collection. He got word that David was in Paris (any man with a collection of over 50 ties is kind of a thing in the fashion community). The two got together for lunch, and...
...now he's the new face of cK.
He returned back to the United States. There was a quick pit stop in Washington DC to help dig the metro area out of Snowmageddon '11 at the behest of the President.
VDOT?
His final destination was California via Boston, Massachusetts. After the Boston Pops Orchestra heard what a lovely job D.W. did conducting the Marching Virginians all season he received a standing invite to lead them for an evening. He felt a gentlemanly obligation to take them up on their offer.
There'll never be a better rendition of stick it in again.
In the morning he flew to California and went to Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City for a taping of Jeopardy!. There he competed against 74-time champion Ken Jennings and IBM supercomputer Watson.
When David Wilson plays an entire game he doesn't have to run a kick back for the win.
His victory celebration was cut short when Alex Trebek told him about all the trouble happening at the Sober Valley Lodge. Yeah, Alex pretty much airs out Hollywood's dirty laundry during those post-game Jeopardy! chats you see while the camera pans away from the stage.
An impromptu stop was necessary. He drove to Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. He was the first and only motivational speaker at the lodge. In fact he didn't even say a word, Charlie Sheen took one look at D.W. and exclaimed, "WINNING!", duh.
David finally returned to Blacksburg on the Sunday afternoon before classes began. After he got settled in, he ate Chick-fil-A.

Who did Anderson Cooper count on when shit got real in Egypt? That's right...
