Hmm let's see. January was snowy and there was much fun had in the snow. But then it melted and refroze so walking to class was extremely scary. I worked at Snoqualmie and hung out in the PigPen every now and then and helped them out a little too. February I went to Vashon Island for the first time in liiiike 10 years or so, so that was exciting. Met Loren's pets and his grandpa and some of his friends and went to the zoo. March... jeez I don't even remember. Obviously nothing too exciting happened. April, started longboarding. May, got better at longboarding and got my own longboard. Also, sat in the hospital for a good 2 hours. The rest of this month is going to be really fun though, because this coming weekend I'm going to Lake Chelan with Kara to stay at our friend's house. And then the weekend after that is Nathan's birthday and we're going hiking. And then the weekend after that Loren and I are going to Sasquatch Festival at the Gorge! So this month is only just beginning :)
Today, Nathan, Rose, and I longboarded around everywhere for about 3 hours! We went around campus, then down into town to go to the skateboard shop in town because Nathan wanted to check up on his crummy old board. Then we went around and back to Nathan's dorm for a bit and then we longboarded around campus some more. We sat down for a little rest at the South end of campus, and met up with one of Nathan's friends and one of Rose's friends and we sat and talked with them for a bit. Then we boarded back to Kara and Rose's dorm, got food, hung out, and now I'm back to my own dorm! My longboard is a lot of fun! It flexes a lot more that Kara or Nathan's boards, so turning is way easier. Although still not too easy to do some of the sharper-cornered turns around campus, but I'm getting a lot better than when I started!
I think we will pass on the week and year that was. I stopped keeping a little, short daily journal a couple of years ago when I had my first shoulder surgery and got out of that habit, so no notes other than a few cryptic things on old calendars! But, you got graduated from high school and are almost through of a good year in college and it seems like everybody in my extended family is healthy and still in charge of their life so it has been OK. Plus, I grew some great apples and potatoes! Now I just need new tires on my bike ...
ReplyDeleteI am glad the long board has become a usable and enjoyable form of transportation, and you need'nt buy gas! Gads - no hurty .. I think you got our fears and worrys on that issue!
Now, I know your blog is what you are doing during college, so it is not focusing on college per se, but hopefully you are learning new stuff, doing well in the grades department, and slowly building up a bunch of knowledge and skills that will set you loose on society in a few more years, ready to make a difference and remain afloat! Yes?
Adios - Zoey says "Hey" ... she just pretty much has the same Ol'- same Ol' day in, day out!
