umm
so today has been cool. got up. went to class. got done around 2:30. not bad for a monday.
so i was signed up to go water skiing at 5. a little while before that this conversation occurred.
me: so steve, you still gonna give me a ride to the dock this afternoon at 5?
steve: uhhh...that's today?
me: yeah
steve: i thought it was tuesday. i have a lab today.
but i was able to get a ride over with the guy driving the boat so it worked out.
the drivers name was tyler and me and him have very similar taste in music. the other two guys were doug and rob. both were wakeboarders. i told them i wanted to learn to wakeboard and apparently tyler took it as 'dont worry about bringing skis.'
rob went first. it was only his third time wakeboarding, but he was a snowboarder so automatically he was already good at it. he jumped around the wake for a while.
then it was my turn. i got right up on the first try. you might think that if you can water ski you can wakeboard, but its an entirely different experience.
the guys were really cool about it though. they offered tips and by the end of our two hours on the lake i was able to follow behind the boat and kind of control where i was going. apparently thats good for the first day. i wouldnt know, but im gonna stick with it.
oh and the whole time we were out there, i could see the stadium. and even farther still on the horizon i could see the three high-rise dorms. one of which i spend a lot of time in. overall it was really cool. hopefully its something ill be able to do a lot.
anyway im going to bed (relatively) early tonight because i have a biology exam tomorrow.
