this week has been rather chill in respect to the homework department. this means its been rather heavy in the bouldering department. i plan on climbing after class today, and i definitely must climb tommorow, (thursdays at stoney should not be missed), and i havent rested since last friday. i dont feel super worked, i feel relatively solid, but far from 100 percent. yesterday i went to stoney point. i spent the first hour working on some problems, and having conversation, with my friend lucho. hes 33 years old, and was born in peru, and has climbed his whole life. hes strong, and a really nice guy, very encouraging and good company. we were able to catch up with mike waugh-the socal legend himself. i could write for hours about how BA he is. he gave us a routine history lesson, which was quite enjoyable/humorous, did a super sketch mantle he hasnt done in five years, and showed us some dope, really gruesome variations on turlock to work on. we ended the night at the pileups. he showed me a line i had never known of, and i was able to send after a few go's, and its really fun and technical, so i was pumped (not literally).
right now im continuing research of camping stuff. and i think i have settled on the sierra designs massak tent. its a roomy three person 4 season. a bit pricey. . also debating between sleeping on inflatable mattress, or cot with foam pad/thermarest. any advice on this would be much appreciated.
i love coffee and jamba juice and pita pit.
looking forward to what this weekend holds. climbing with ariel one day, and chat might be heading up to meet up with me, from san diego. mike waugh is heading to joshua tree, and michael hass told me last night he was going on sat/sun. my thoughts on joshua tree are not equal to those of the majority. the sport is runout and old. the rock can be not chossy but like kitty litter loose grain. the boulders are tall. im not aesthetically inspired by the desert as much as beautiful green landscapes, that consist of water. this could be an oppurtunity to change these possible 'misconceptions'. its less than five weeks, before im off into this beautiful adventure. but time could not be going slower. the RD of my dorm is on my back for chapel misses and the admin here appear to be rather arbitrary when it comes to whom they choose to unleash weighty, weighty consequences for such heinous acts, (such as missing chapel 7 times). well see what happens. its tough becuase i would love to just bounce out now and roll up to bishop. but thats not an option, and im pressing on and finishing strong.
allez. allez, allez!
