Oh High Sierra...

Soo...I've been pretty awol lately. After getting back from spring break things have been going at high speed here--tons and tons of papers and studying! I've only got 4 more papers to write, phew.

First off, today was amazing.
This morning we all got up at 8:30. In our pjs we dragged pillows and blankets into the meetinghall and ate breakfast there while watching cartoons. =)

Then, after tanning for a little bit on Star Rock, I biked out of camp with Alex, Kel, Kylynn, and James. We planned on biking to a nearby restaurant, the Forks, and just chilling at the coffee shop there and doing homework. However, things didn't go exactly as planned.

First stop, we passed a crafts market so of course we had to stop and see what they had. While Alex, Kylynn, and Kel were listening to bluegrass, James and I biked ahead; we stopped at a dam and got out and explored. It was pretty cool, we found this stream made out of rusty tin cans, we stood on the edge of a rushing river, and we slid down a hill.

Then we resumed biking to the Forks. However, our professor DJ's house is on the way to the Forks. So of course we had to stop by and say "hello." He and his wife were doing some spring cleaning, but they invited us inside and offered us some delicious chocolate-chip pumpkin bread (this was at 2 pm). We had such a great time and we were all talking and laughing and watching silly youtube videos. Then we decided to just stay there and do homework, instead of going to the Forks. Pretty soon, it was 5:30. Instead of biking back to camp, DJ suggested we all get pizza--so we got pizza with him and his wife, Annette. Then, we did some more homework...until someone suggested ice cream and Toy Story 3. Of course, who could say no to that? So we all had ice cream then made video of us all dancing to a silly song.

After our stunt as actors/actresses/dancers, we all curled up in the living room and watched Toy Story 3. It was pretty cute. The movie ended at 11, and DJ piled all our bikes into the back of his truck and drove us home.

Wow. I love my professors, here. So much.

P.S. Here's a link to the Elk's article: http://www.elks.org/enf/news.cfm?StoryID=68381

I'm going to miss it here SO much, but I am excited to see Wisconsin in five days!
