Journal entry 13

A friend and I decided to go rock climbing the other day at this place called "the front" and it was pretty fun! I haven't been in a long while and my calluses on my hands are basically gone, so it was pretty rough on my hands. We went bouldering for a an hour or so and by then my hands were already beat up, but we decided to continue climbing the bigger stuff. After a couple of hours being there, my hands had huge blisters on them and it was time to go. This gym is on like 22nd in ogden, so it's pretty near the new ogden temple, so on the way back we got to drive past the new temple and it looks really different. This next week I think i'll be able to go through the open house and see inside!

Continuing my post about my red castle lake trip/hike. The next day we decide to just take a day and hike up really quick. We did hear that it was about 30 miles round trip, but we didn't really register how far that really was. As we started out, we felt pretty good, but after going about 10 miles, we were starting to get tired. We felt like we were getting delirious already when we reached the top at 15 miles and the thought of heading back down felt like it was a daunting task. All the way back down, we had to talk a lot to each other to distract ourselves from the pain in our legs. It felt like it took forever but we finally got back down after 30 miles and went back to camp. We decided to never do that again, but in retrospect i'm glad we did it!

A couple weeks ago my friend and I went on a camping trip near kings peak utah. It was only for 3 days but it turned out to be more than we bargained for. I brought up everything i thought i would need like a sleeping bag, pillow, food, snacks and other things. The first night was pretty bad and turns out that my sleeping bag wasn't warm enough for the night and i had to sleep in the car that night. So the next day we decided that it probably wasn't a very good idea to hike up there and sleep overnight. We planned to go to red castle lake the next morning for a day hike. I guess i can leave the next part to my next journal entry, but i recommend the hike to red castle, cause it's super pretty!

Journal entry 10

Last night i finally finished a book that i have been reading for the last few months. Its called A Sliver of Light and its about three americans that were imprisoned in Iran a few years ago and they were recently released a year or two ago. It tells of their solitary confinement and the conditions that they were treated with. I really enjoyed this book because the reason they were released was not really because of the US government but because of social involvement on the part of anyone who was not part of the government. For the government it was not that americans were imprisoned that they wanted to get them out, but everything was political and whatever was to the governments' benefit. It was a really great book and i recommend it!

Well, lets get another journal entry done! I've come to realize that having been in college for 3 years kinda sucks now. haha. I've gotten used to classes and homework stuff, but just the fact that i've been doing something for 3 years straight with almost no end in sight kinda feels like a bummer. But luckily i'm this far into it that i realize that if i stop now it would be completely pointless. I just have to keep telling myself, just a couple more years and i'll be done!!

Holy crap, I totally slept through class today! I got home from work and I totally crashed, but that hasn't stopped me from doing my homework!haha. The past couple days me and my family have been without internet, and i thought about going down to the library to finish my stuff. But that just seems like something you don't do anymore, and who even goes to the library anymore!? haha, but my paper is on technologies advantages and disadvantages, and ive been able to come across a lot of stuff that seems pretty interesting.

In class writing

I wanted to do a modern day post by Vincent Van Gogh, and i think this is what he might've said.

"OMG, just cut my own ear off! LOL #whydididothat#canthearcrap#whatshouldidowithit#ohwell#yolo"
