I've definitely bruised my coccyx... and my ribs and my wrists and my knees
I hurt. a lot. I think a truck may have hit me on one of the few dozen times I landed on my face or my ass. But snowboarding is soooooo cool! My last run, I managed to do the last 200 meters or so without falling! that is, until I realized I couldn't stop and there were trees coming up and I was going fast. So I hurt. but had a kick ass time! and Mt. Hood is incredible! and I was at Timberline, where they filmed the Shining :-P redrum....
The meetings were incredibly boring, and I was invited back to Russia for the field workshop and the conference. Although the trip doesn't start until after school starts next year, I just don't know if I can miss that much school again when I'm actually going to be taking the classes I need for whatever my current major is. I also feel bad if I'm going to go to Russia and leave the lab directly after. And I know that I'll be there essentially for slave labor again. (Doesn't this make me feel shitty? I'm complaining about a free trip to russia...)
It was great to see everyone again(and get to know some of the other people better), and I spent entirely too much money over the weekend (but I got this great G.M. Hopkins poetry book-yes, blair, the one you have that I wanted to steal-from Powell's, and I could've spent all of my money there, but I was fairly good)
Anyway, I got in about 6:20 this morning, hopped on MARTA to my house and then drove Elizabeth and I back here, hyped up on coffee to get here about 9:30, I slept through my classes and now get to go talk to my o-chem professor regarding my current mid-college crisis, read my homework realy really quixkly and be stuck in class until 8:30. Maybe after that I can do something fun :-P
realistically, I get to write a chem lab report, submit my math homework before 12:00, and studying for my anth midterm tomorrow, but maybe...maybe.
Anyway, I have to go dope myself up now :-)
