Jul. 21st, 2004 01:44 pmWell, after 10 weeks of getting up at 6:15 am, I'm finally done with work. I have been for 5 days actually-and I don't miss it a bit. I LOVE going to bed after midnight. I LOVE sleeping in until 9:30. I love being able to lay around the house instead of pounding away on concrete floors 8 hours a day-marathon training is gonna be a heck of a lot easier. And if I need a break from SMP stuff, I'm welcome back at work over winter break-and given that I want to do a pretty pricey Outward Bound course after graduation (eeek, is graduation next year already?!?), I'll probably do it anyway for the money.
Yay, I got to take Alice, another Special Olympics athlete, out sailing yesterday. We took out one of the slightly more tippy 15-foot boats and the algae onshore was nasty, so things were more than a little bit interesting. It took me awhile to figure out the race course (we didn't even finish the first race 'cause I got lost), and figure out how to jibe (the scarier means of turning the boat) without scaring her. But we managed to finish our last two races, and to get out on the water and back onshore without any major mishaps. (Except for stiff shoulders and quads today.) Woo hoo! That algae was still gross, though. Thick and ooky and bubbly and wrapped around your ankles and smelled positively foul.
Okay, I don't know how many of you know this, but I'm seriously considering Americorps after I graduate from St. Mary's. But I have no idea whatsoever where I want to go. Name a state, any state. That's your test of the week to see if anyone's actually reading this thing. :-)
