spring semester is over, and maymester is about to end as well. i've managed to raise my gpa so that i am no longer on academic probation, and have obtained enough credit hours to be classified as a sophmore. woohoo! yeah. anyway.
this maymester i took a photography portfolio class that my photo prof. was teaching. basically the class was a one week trip to big bend national park. if you've never been...i don't recommend it. i had been out to el paso, tx before, but it's been awhile...and they said mountains and shit...so i figured how bad could it be? here's the run down:
day one - twelve hour drive in a van with a dog on my lap for 9 of those hours.
day two - we went hiking in the morning which wasn't bad, drove for an hour and a half to have lunch, drove another hour to our second destination in the middle of the afternoon...ya know, when it's hot, and then hiked around 4 miles round trip...oh, and i fell-both of my knees landed directly on sharp pointy rocks. oh, and i saw a rattlesnake.
day three - i got sick. nausea, puking, fever, soreness...about twelve episodes of law and order because we only got four channels on the t.v. in the motel.
day four - i don't remember much of that day. probably went hiking...i dunno.
day five - morning hike wasn't bad. afternoon hike was down by the river, so the humidity increased, which meant that the temperature increased...great fun. not.
day six - the best of all the days because common sense finally sunk in, and people realized that afternoon hikes in the heat of the day were stupid! so we all pretty much took it easy.
day seven - twelve hour drive back home...9 hours of a dog in my lap. got back, then had to drive to my mom's house to pick up the kitties and drive back...that was a 2 hour round trip with dinner thrown in there in the middle.
so yeah. now i have summer courses to worry about and, of course, work. i'm exhausted however, so that's another story for another time. adios.
