this weekend my girlfriend Kristen came up to see me. we had a weekend of hiking and rock climbing. We hiked at Welch and Dicky and climbed at Rumney. This hike is no more then 20 min away and the rock climbing is even closer. God i love this place.
so this past weekend was the last weekend of my weekend climbing class. That’s right i am now free on the weekend. I do not have to worry about getting up at 530 am and going climbing. I must say though it was my best class that i have every taken before. In between climbing we learned about communication team building and just a ton of good skills that will help me throughout my life. Our final test was to build an anchor and rappel off a 140 foot cliff. We did it and it was the most fun i had every had in my life. I got two chances to go off the cliff. The first time i was very careful and took it easy, just taking my time, i got to the bottom and i was very happy with myself about that. Me being me, this careful pattern was not going to repeat it self. As i approached the edge of the cliff, i looked down, took a deep breath, and jumped. Almost in a free fall i grabbed onto the rope and swung back in to the cliff. Heart pounding adrenalin pulsating through my veins, I jumped again and again. I found a flow of jumping flying and falling……one of the best times of my life. I know not every one is a thrill seeker like i am but i must say to have that feeling of flying was good to get back…..now i just cant wait for snowboarding this year…..60 foot gap here i come
I must say this place is rather pretty…here are some pics that my mom took of my school
Today i had my alarm set for a nice 6 in the morning, i have a rock climbing class at 7am on the weekends for the first few weekends that i am at school. So i hear the fire alarm across the way at the building that is next to mine…this has happened before and it was normal in my mind, so i went back to sleep. Then no more than 3 minutes later i hear all this crashing and banging and i look at the clock and see 5am. I was already really tired and i did not need to be any more tired for my ten hour class. At this point the noise is capturing my attention like a mouse to a cat. I look out my window and what do i see but a fire truck with its ladder extended to the dorm. oh jezz! I watched for a while but i could not figure out what was going really. Next thing i know it’s 6am and my day is just starting………..
