it's October!

It's October! Today I have my first ever graded interpretation, from English to Spanish - in my LIFE! Isn't that weird? Nothing like freaking myself out a little bit twenty minutes before I'm scheduled to do it. :)

I went camping on the weekend! The Outdoor Adventure Club or whatever it's called and the rock climbing club joined forces to camp at Pinnacles National Monument, about an hour from Monterey. Much warmer and sunnier than grey Monterey. I rock climbed outside for the first time, which was a bit different... but if I can train up a bit I'd be glad to try it again. I tried three climbs; one I completed; one I got most of the way up; one I completely failed at. It was hard, ok? I'll improve, I promise.

Luckily it wasn't cold camping, but we weren't allowed to have a campfire because of the high danger of forest fires, so we just sat around a little lamp, had chili, beer, and cookies. And tried our best to not get too frustrated with the gigantic group of Chinese-American boy scouts (?) beside us. Who asked us to be quiet at 10pm so they could go to sleep, and then woke us up with yelling at 7am. Classic.

My sweetie is coming in nine days!!!!

Man Diet Coke gets me hyped up... not to mention sweet remixes... well, it's time to get my ass kicked by Esther's evaluation. See you on the other side.
