yesterday was the leadership stone nature center ropes course. it was a whole lot of fun. we basically went out there and had to do these different challenges.. aka “elements” it was really kickass. i had sooo much fun. and we got all bonded and stuff too.
i think that it was a really hardcore course because it really did push all of our different limits. there were some things (like just going over a 12 foot wall with no ladder or rope or anything) that were really fucking terrifying for me and i ended up having a panic attack after. i think that really humbled me. which lacey commented on later. she said that after that she could tell i was just a little bit different. and ir ealized that my body does have limits and there are things that i know i shouldn’t do and that means that i actually shouldn’t do them.
we also got the opportunity to go across a burma bridge which was insanely kickass. we were on harnesses and had static ropes to protect us and stuff but we could just hang over the river from the harness. it was so awesome!
i was probably the best at doing this one obstacle thing that was a balance exercise. i didn’t even think i was very balanced. but apparently i’m pretty damn good at it. lol. actually, that one was my favorite because we all worked completely as a team and we didn’t have any problems doing anything. it was really really nice. i had an awesome time.
after the li got over i took a shower and headed out to janelles party. that was nice and i got to hang out with madeline around people which we seem to not do much of. afterward, i took her home and she made me yummy pasta with pesto. it was the most delicious thing ever i think. i love pasta.
so the leadership crew feels like my new family.. which is really awesome. having new families keeps me from getting homesick. my other new family is my fish euclid who i rescued and love very much. i rescued him from the WUPR people at the activity fair cos they were selling bettas and i just thought that was hella-mean. so this one was getting picked on so i bought him. but he’s a stud man. i’m not even kidding. and he looks at me a lot when he’s hungry and stuff so i always know. he loves me and i love him. yay
