Jess's message reminded me of a funny story from high school. We were doing a river study in outdoor ed and using the Mighty Speed River to get our numbers. One of the calculations required a measurement of the width of the river so I volunteered to trek across the river to get it. After all it's only a few feet deep right? Right. But there is one thing about this particular river - there are small concrete blocks through it, making little waterfalls at certain points. Waterfalls with a strong current. And for those of you who don't know me, I'm a bit of a klutz. We maybe more than a bit. I sometimes fall down while just standing. Anywho. So there I am, walking through the water, and I walked right by one of these blocks. That was the end. First I lost my balance. Then I fell in. Then I went under. Then I went over the waterfall. Yes. It was a good time had by all (except me). So I went back to class soaking wet and stinking like fish.
Hmm. Was noch? Today seemed like it went on forever even though my soil lab was short. And so easy. Chris, Mark and I were working together and Mark was in a particularly giggly mood so we mostly just goofed around the whole time. And poured water into soil. Again good times had by all.
I can't stop eating Dunkaroos. And my cat is walking all over the keyboard. So... hard... to... type...
