Itchy...
Well, it's certainly been a while. I doubt I'll go through everything that's happened in the last [almost] 20 days since my last entry, but I'll point out some of the things that come to mind (aka that may be exciting).
The dog I was Pet Pals with at OHS, Barley, was adopted to go try out to be a drug sniffing detector dog for the Washington State Department of Corrections. So, I think that's pretty awesome because I trained him! WAHOO!
Um...had my birthday. Just as a heads up to those of you who have not reached this point yet: 19 is not a very exciting age. Yet.
I'm in Boulder, CO right now staying with Sarah and her family for a week. It's been fun so far (and it should continue to be that way!). The first night I was here we went to see As You Like It at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, which was AWESOME. And the guy who has been the artistic director (predominantly) for that past 25 years is retiring so we got to see the company and his colleagues say goodbye to him. It was really sweet. The next day Sarah took me on a tour of downtown Boulder (it's very cute!) and that evening we went to Chautauqua (it's this park/building/historical site. Basically, it's cool) for dinner and then saw this rather strange ballet put on by a company called Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet. Yeah, I think it was a little too contemporary for those of us who don't dance ballet. The next day was Sarah's birthday, so her mom and I went with her to skating and filmed her. Then we left and went across the street to a place called the Butterfly Pavilion which was really cool. It's this center that's devoted to educating people about insects and other invertebrates and then they have a room where there are butterflies EVERYWHERE! It's beautiful! I had my camera with me, luckily, so I got to take lots of pictures. One butterfly landed on me, it was very cute! Then that evening I went out with Sarah and her friends for a birthday dinner at a place called The Tea House which was nice. Good tea. Then that brings us to today when I went on a hike with Sarah's mom to Isabelle Lakes (it's in the Rockies). It was very beautiful and so nice to go hiking! The weather was gorgeous, about 70-75 degrees F up in the mountains where we were (10,300 ft - 10,800 ft). There was a thunder/lightning storm as we were walking down, but it was far away. Then Sarah's grandmother came over for dinner for a joint birthday dinner for the three of us (her grandmother's birthday is very soon, or maybe it was today, I don't actually know...) and then Sarah and I decorated her car that we're driving to Vassar. It looks pretty awesome. Speaking of the car, I have been driving it and I'm doing fine! Tomorrow I'm driving to Denver with Sarah's mom (yeah, I'm going to be bff with Sarah's mom after this trip because Sarah skates every day) to see the sites around there.
Mmmm...yep, going back to school soon, got a lot to do! YAY!
