First week is over and done with, and boy it seemed like it was 3! Juggling classes such as Chemistry, Speech, Orientation, Algebra, and Biology starts out easy, but then throw in a teacher conflict and you are asking for a soupy mess! Kept my cool together and ended the week on a very positive note- Rock Climbing.
There are these beautiful bluffs here in Winona. There is the Mississippi lakes and the river and bluffs all along one side. One of these bluffs has this bare rock, jutting towards the sky. Just a cylinder. I swore to my parents that i was going to climb those bluffs- and I did on friday. It was an hour walk, then we had to climb up the bluffs where obviously water run-off goes down. The water made a ditch with loose sand. Quite a workout there! But then, we got to the top, and there it was. That huge, bare cylinder shaped rock. It was like a beacon around the rest of the town. I was standing before it. Of course, it had a odd name, Sugar Loaf, but i was there! My first official school week and i was standing in front of something that most of Winona more than likely has not. I only made up about half way up the rock, but it was farther up that i expected to ever make to that rock.
I'm feeling kind of isolated here-of my own choosing- but at some point i will show people how to play Egyption Rat Screw- such as UniStar has taught me. I'm excited for this year.
Wish you were here!
