Weekend! It is so nice to not have crazy amounts of work for once. Not that I don't, but nothing's due early this week, so I can actually breathe. And shockingly, it's also kind of nice to not be racing through Supernatural. That was fun and epic, but not something I want to do all the time.
Field trip! Had the final trip of this quarter's geology class yesterday/today, and let me tell you, if anyone ever has to take a geology class, I highly recommend one that includes field trips. Infinitely more interesting than the classroom learning. We went up to Hurricane Ridge, and a group of us hiked down through the snow a bit and got to a point where it looked like we would just fall off, but it extended, of course, and we got to just sit in the warm (omg the weather was perfect) grass and watch deer and pretend to make observations about the formations on Mt. Olympus. We found deer vertebrae! And then hiked back up the ridge, which was....interesting. My legssss. And then we threw snowballs and I found out that one of the girls in the class, who I previously didn't really know, is as embarassingly much a fan of Sweden as I am, so we geeked out about that for awhile. And then we all went to Port Angeles and got ice cream, and then went on an epic hike around Lake Crescent, which involved about eight of us clambering up an approximately 45 degree incline to see some cool turbidites, and also climbing halfway into this tunnel-cave that was SO COOL, and the lake! It's the most brilliant, Disney-blue color, so gorgeous - we all wanted Ariel to jump out of it, or something. And then we made camp and all that, and eventually it ended up being 7 of us sitting around the fire talking about scary stories and serial killers. Which wasn't cool, because I get really truly freaked out by that stuff. But then we also talked about puppies and flowers and good books, so it was okay. No nightmares, anyway, which is the important part.
And now, I need to pimp out one of the most awesome and amazing things ever:
I'm slightly scared to be doing Casfest, because me + what seems to be the majority of SPN fandom = weird match. But it's CAS! So I'm totally excited.
