so this blogging thing didn't work out like i'd planned

at one point in time, i'd hoped to post a new entry every sunday. we can see how well that DIDN'T work out. here i am, 92 days away from graduation with a total of five posts up. (six, if you generously count this one). so, what have i been doing instead of blogging about life in idaho? living it, of course!

here's a short list of the wonderful things that i've done since last february. (wow, if i'd waited until february 25th to post this, it would have been a year since my last post. go me!) anyway, in the past year, i have:

1. learned to swim. i'm not ready to compete, or do a flip turn, or even swim a complete lap without stopping to breathe, but i *can* make it from one end of the pool to the other and back, usually without panicking. this feat is much easier to accomplish while wearing fins, in case you didn't know that. i consider that further proof that i wasn't really meant to swim.

2. i practiced rock climbing all last spring semester so i could make it to the top of the tower this past fall, and i did! i climbed to the top of a 60 foot tower. and didn't take a look around. oops. i was too busy trying to not freak out as badly as i wanted to. i must admit, there were times on the way up that i wasn't sure i was going to make it. if i were less stubborn, i probably wouldn't have. but i'd made up my mind that no inanimate object was going to get the best of me two years in a row. besides, the second time around i'd spent enough time on the rock climbing wall in the gym to think i knew what i was doing. i was wrong, but i went in hopeful and came out alive, so go me!

3. i survived my internship! it was fun, i learned a lot, met some interesting people, did some hopefully useful work, ate a *lot* of sushi and ethiopian food, and was sad to come back to idaho.

4. attended another job fair. it's a little different when you're looking for a job instead of an internship, at least it was for me. there was more internal pressure. but i am hopeful!

5. was asked to write a thesis based off of a project that i thought was a good idea at the time. actually, i still think the project is a good idea, it's just the thesis bit that worries me.

that's all for now, i'm going to bed, as tomorrow promises to be a long day.

hopefully, i'll write again before i leave idaho and return to a large city!
