I find it funny how the last entry i had was when i went on my little adventure to the Arcata Marsh, and once again i return with news from the Marsh.
MARSH WALK ROUND 2
One thing that i do love about the rain up here in humboldt is that it makes you appreciate the sun, on those few days when it decides to rear its beautiful face. And i get to go out and explore Humboldt a little more then just the campus. Life is a trade off, if it wasnt for the rain there wouldnt be these amazing redwood forests, or the marshes. So my first week back from spring break was a rough and busy one. Why do teachers feel the need to torture already beaten souls. i think my 3 essays, and 2 tests worked out fine...eek i hope, i had so much on my mind, from housing next year, to summer jobs, to summer school, i am feeling very relaxed now that i weathered this educational storm. So after a nice breakfast to clear my head of the alcohol from the night before, i got dressed and headed off to the Arcata marshes. I had a couple ideas of how this little adventure was to go, but i decided to not lock myself into any sort of plan, and see what caught my eye. With grateful dead blaring from jimmy and the sun warming my eyes, i headed through arcata toward the marshes. Once there i wandered through the different marshes,listening to music that makes me smile. There was so much wild things jumping around and skipping to the beat of the music , the birds, bees, frogs, ants, all enjoying this saturday afternoon. Im sure they appreciate it as much as i do. eek, so i find an old bench right next to the bay. This was perfect, the combination of nature that was massaging my senses, everything seemed to work perfectly. As i sat there i would get random scents of ocean, flowers, pine trees..oh my, after sitting there taking in everything, i took out my philosophy book and started reading about the existence god. Quite interesting, quite(in the words of jewbie). I love taking deep breaths when im outside, its like a sensory overload, the oxygen washes over my whole body, and it makes me feel apart of something. After a while i decided that i was sufficiently satisified at the Arcata marshes. So i left feeling refreshed, as i drove toward the redwood curtain i smiled in my pink sunglasses listening to the band. I parked in the Arcata plaza, sitting in my car waiting for certain individuals, i saw shorty, i walked into the record store, must of been destiny, cus shorty found the miami vice soundtrack(this is a must in every vinyl collection) for 54 cents. Then i found something for sol, i think he'll like it, maybe for a birthday, i dunno. So after getting this, i wandered outside, and ran into the individuals that i refered to earlier. I think its funny how we can be in the middle of society, or a town center, and smell and see so much illegal transactions. After makin some money, i got back in my car. So today was succesful, i like being a small business owner, jimmy as my center of activities. oh jimmy, he needs some gas, i feel so poor, i cant provide for my family, stupid gas costing me 30 dollars to fill him up. So this is another reason why the small business idea is a great one. well anyways i am back in my room, the sun is doing its crazy shiny thing again, and the view from my window is something to admire.
