Okay. Last week I had three things in my mind I could write about. Today I seem to have none. Because all I've been doing for the last week is have a vacation. There isn't really any work to do, like I explained last week, so I've just been... I have no idea what I've been doing. I've sweat a lot, since the temperature has been somewhere between 25 and 30-something degrees. Okay. So I'll do parts.
1. Cartwheels. With one hand. I decided a few years ago I'd practise that over the summer. I didn't. Now, after three years of training capoeira, I've almost mastered it with one hand. The normal one I've been able to do since I was a kid, so that I didn't have to learn. But yeah. I can almost do a good cartwheel with one hand. To both sides. With both hands. I'm weirdly proud.
2. Explorer belt. I was already talking about this when you were here. So, next summer. A month in Italy. Of which ten days hiking in pairs. I've been trying to find someone to go with. One said no time, and other said no money, and third said "Oh, that sounds awesome! I'll just do some calculating and I'll get back to you once I know if I have enough money."
So we'll see how that goes. I'd like to have someone to go with so I wouldn't be paired up with a random person, because I suck at people.
I also realised that especially if I work a little over the winter, I might be able to pay that trip myself, without dipping into the money mom's saving for me now. That feels kinda great.
Also, if someone out there has a great idea for an application (because only 40 people get to go, so people who want need to apply) for that, please let me know. I've seen one application that got the guys who had done it in, and that was in the form of a calendar. So it can be anything.
3. I want to keep writing. As in after you come back. Because I like writing a blog. Even though you said it's pretty pointless once you're back. But who cares. Just thought I'd mention.
4. This shirt is adorable. Nothing more to it. Just wanted to show it to you. I'd also want to play Portal 2, but I'm pretty sure I can't, cause Ubuntu.
5. I don't remember if Firefly was on your list of things I should watch, but a friend of mine told me to watch it and gave me the DVD. Haven't gotten to it yet, though.
6. I'm getting my flute back tomorrow!
It broke in the beginning of May, and then it took me weeks to get it to the repair place, and then it stayed there for weeks, until I went there last week and said "Hi, I was just wondering when I'll get my flute back", and they said, "Yeah, there wasn't a deadline for it said anywhere, and it's been vacation time, so it hasn't been a priority", but it should be done when I go get it tomorrow.
7. I am now officially a journalism student. Though I'm planning on studying more biotechnology than journalism this year. And a lot of ecology, since that's apparently the only thing they ask in the biology exam to get in to study that. Well, mostly, not only. I may just be bitter, because I screwed up three of five questions in the exam, because they're ecology, which I'm not good at, because we didn't really study that on IB, and I'm more interested in all the other stuff than that.
Ok, you've heard that already, since we bitched about it with a friend of yours when you were there and I saw them. So I'll shut up about it.
I think that's enough of random things for today. I'm waiting for what ever you've already written for me that will come up on Friday.
