Things

I lost my voice Thursday night. :( It's finally coming back now, still a little hoarse though.

Yesterday Ben Jackson and I went to the FSU Rez. It was a beautiful day for hanging out there. The sun was out, there were a few clouds in the sky, and it wasn't too hot or too chilly out. We kayaked for I don't know how long and then did rock climbing. Firstly, the lake had lost a lot of water and we couldn't go to the connecting lake. So when we were shoving off, I was stuck in about 2 inches of water. Ben was off paddling, while I was shimmying my way into deeper waters. I think I got a slight slight tan from relaxing on the lake :)

After kayaking we did some rock climbing. I'm still afraid of heights though. I wanted to conquer one of my fears and I've never climbed all the way to the top of a rock wall. So I was doing well until I got to the middle, I was trying to find a place to put my foot and then I looked down and saw the ground.... I was freaked out then and really wanted to come down. But what would that leave me with?? Another failed wall climb. I sucked it up and kept going. When I reached the top, I freaked out again. I didn't know how to drop down. I started climbing down but that was even more scary. Finally I let go of the wall and sure enough I didn't plummet to my death. I bounced down off the wall...just like in the movies. :) And everyone cheered for me when I got down. I forgot to mention that I was screaming with my hoarse voice. So I sounded extra funny and scared.
