back packing STAND UP? whAAAAAt?

Okay, So I am a recreation management major. and before you start thinking I am all about being outdoorsy and not showering. I am not. I mean i love the outdoors, but that is NOT why it is my major. HOWEVER, I DO have to take outdoors classes, icluding my class where we went backpacking this weekend to show our basic skills we have learned. Exciting right? ESPECIALLY since it snowed last weekend. Just fel the joy that was exuding out of me however:our weather was rather nice. It was just really cold the last morning. In fact I lost all feeling in my fingers for about 15 minutes. NBD.
list of things noteworthy on the trip:
-I was at the VERY back of the hike the entire first day. I don't mind being the caboose, but I always imagined a caboose to be...bigger.
-A girl in my class ripped her pants. WOAH MORE THAN I WANTED TO SEE (okay she was wearing spandex underneath...but STILL)
-My water bottle leaked on ALL my clothes on the first day. So i ended up wearing the same set of clothes for all three days. I just smelt like roses ;)
-My class decided I was crazy
-My class decided I was funny (I always like saying that because it makes me feel acomplished)
-apparently my life is really exciting? Because they seemed to think it was. And decided they need to meet my family. Whatevs if you want to drive me all the way to cali so we can both see the parentals I am up for it.
-my whole class has joined the train that i should become a comedian. YAY PRESSURE. like seriously. scarrrry
-the sole of my shoe came off in the mud on our day hike. So we duct taped it on to hike back to camp. luckily i brought another pair of shoes in case. WINNING! although having a duct tape shoe is kinda cool. only the front was duct taped so i felt like a flip flop, but not. twas weird
-I was asked how it is I became the way I am. complement or insult? still not sure...
-I made the mistake of telling my whole class i would love to one day become a comedian (not that it would ever happen but it WOULD be cool) so they made me do stand up for them last night. I HAD NOTHING PRE PREPARED. gee thanks guys. feelin the love. especially sinc eyou only laughed at half my jokes. and wouldnt beleive these stories actually happened in my life. because they did. but yes. i did campfire stand up. arn't i just CLASSY
-i made it home SAFE! hooray. life seriously. no rain. just numb fingers. not the most ideal trade up but whatevs.

SO BACKT O SCHOOL. gosh darn. what will i do. except homework. because i always have homework. and sleep. i love to sleep. a lot PEACE PARTY PEOPLE

  1. Wow, sounds like an interesting hike! I'm glad they found you funny, sorry you were in the back and your shoe fell apart. Brad stated that he always knew you were soul-less! ha ha he is funny. I hope you did have fun at least though and I'm glad you didn't lose your fingers.
