Vashon Ultra!

The ultra was on Saturday, and I just got back from Vashon yesterday. Loren completed all 31 miles in 5 hours!

Grades

So far, all my teachers have posted except Bowling. So so far I have an A, an A-, and a B! Woooo.

Tomorrow Loren and Nathan are coming over from Vashon and me, Kara, and Rose are going to meet up with them and go bowling and then eat at Triple X! Then Loren is going to stay with me for a couple of nights! I can't wait to see everybody! It hasn't even been a week yet, but I miss them all a lot.

Back home!

Moved everything out and am now at home unpacking my stuff. Most of it is all out, now I have to do some extension cord rearranging so I can put up my lights and stuff.

This Time Tomorrow

By this time tomorrow, I will be home!

Today was so nice! Took my final, got breakfast, helped Kara move stuff to her car, hung out, ate lunch, sat on Barto Lawn for the last time EVER (they're tearing down Barto next year), did some henna, watched some ultimate frisbee, ate with Loren, had yummy ice cream... Mmmm! All that's left on my list of things to do is finish packing and cleaning and run to the water tower tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise.

Then it will be sayoonara Ellensburg! Until midsummer when I come back to try and secure a job for next school year :)

Beautiful Day

It's warm and sunny out but I've been inside all day packing. Anthropology final tomorrow at 8 in the morning and then I'm done! My grades, as far as I know so far, are an A, A-, and then whatever I got for bowling and whatever I get for Anthropology.

Anthropology has been a tough one this quarter, there's only so much I can hear about monkeys and genetics before I start to zone out. Cultural Anthropology back in winter quarter was so much better! This one was too science-y. Luckily my major requires no science so I can go on living my life being blissfully unaware of my genetic relation to chimpanzees.

Here I go, back to more packing! I'm out of boxes so I've resorted to just shoving things in garbage bags.

Obligatory Sad Face :(

This is the last weekend of my freshman year of college!!! I can't believe it went by so fast. Tomorrow me and Loren are going to walk to Goodwill. Then I don't know what the rest of my plans are. Probably just packing up my room... My only final is going to be open note, so I don't even really have to study for it at all.

Plans for this summer:

• Get a job
• Run a lot
• Sleep outside in a tent most of the time
• Buy most of my clothes at goodwill or value village

Aaaand that's about it. The first thing I want to do when I get back is go to Value Village in Redmond. It's super huge and they have a much better selection than the goodwill here. 

Sasquatch pics

So here's a few pictures from the Gorge. After the first day I stopped carrying my camera with me though, because it was just too much to keep track of in such a big crowd of people.

Those are the metal wild horses up on the hill! We stopped here to wait for our caravan of people, and then hiked up to the top where it was so windy we thought we were going to get blown right over the cliff!

There's the main stage with the Gorge behind it! I think if you click the picture it will get bigger, so you can see some of the detail of the river and everything. It was Gorge-ous! haha, I'm so pun-derful!

And finally, here's a picture of the beautiful sunset over the Gorge, and all the trash that was left behind after day 1. They cleaned it up each night and the next day there was minimal trash on the ground, but not outside in the camping area! I stumbled over other people's beer cans the whole time in the campground area.

And that's that! I only have one final to study for, so this week is mostly being spent packing up more stuff. I've thrown out so much junk already, and yet still have so much!! It's mindboggling.

Sasquatch!!!

There are no words in the english language to describe how amazing it was! The camping was crazy, and there were dance parties all night long, then during the days we would walk about a mile to get into the venue and see all the bands. There were 4 stages with different bands playing all day long. I met all of Loren's friends from Vashon, and camped with them and it was so much fun! By the end of 4 days without showering though, we were all pretty disgusting. I'll upload a couple pictures I took of the Gorge later.

And now it's back to the real world where things actually matter... It's so hard for me to switch gears so quick like that. I just want to be camping still and seeing bands everyday and partying all night long. But whatever, there's only a week of school left.
