Tres crainte infondée!! (??)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM!! (today) and SALLY B! (uh, awhile back...) I wish I could be at home right now, to have lots of fun and sing to you both! Anyway, this past weekend was really cool! My floor (the Pioneer Leadership Program floor) went on a trip to Estes Park. It's this gorgeous, small town in the middle of the mountains that rise around it. We stayed at the YMCA, but this was not your typical YMCA... It was the BIGGEST YMCA I've ever seen! It was basically a resort, because they put us up in this nice hotel, and there was a big cafe to eat at. So... my first day, I did one of the high ropes courses... almost 50 feet in the air on a wire, between trees! ...It didn't look that scary, but once I started climbing the first tree, I got a little nervous... just a little, of course... Then when I was going to take the zip line to get down, the guy who was helping me told me to go backward and upside down. SCARY! So I stalled, and asked really stupid questions, like "how should I position my hands for a better grip?", et cetera. Finally, he was just like, "Shut up and jump." So I did. And afterward, I was told that my "form" was very good, and that I looked like a "natural"... Yeah yeah. :D  Later that night we had a bon fire and roasted marshmallows. Then some people played ultimate frisbee till 2am, but a bunch of us ended up playing the "psychiatrist" game... very FUN! The next morning, we had to wake up early, and do more team building activities. When I got out of bed I screamed, because staring in our slider doors were about 8 gigantic elk! I was so excited, so I made my roommate take pictures of me with them. LaLaLa... more fun stuff happened, then we went home. Oh, I almost forgot- it's tradition to attempt to moon as many of the other vans as you can, on the highway, on all PLP trips... Of course I don't participate in this, and thank god I was asleep most of the way home... Ahh, but it was so nice to get out to the mountains again! Alright, well I have lots of work to do, food to eat... Dance parties to attend (Our record stands at about 30 people in a dorm room, with lots of disco music :D ) ...And hopefully, I'll make it to the gym tonight. Hope all is well with everyone else!
