random thoughts because i am tired but trying...

• spent a whole afternoon in a vehicle with a bunch of new OE staff on thursday. wasn't sure how i felt about them at first (apparently i have a hard time transitioning with relationships and such...) but they are great! and most of them are musical, so i am unbelievably excited about all the singing we are gonna do.
• got moved into a CABIN. as in, INSIDE and...there is a bathroom inside that i can see FROM MY BED! so excited! it is nice, but so much quieter than sleeping outside. in fact, the silence seems really loud. i got to organize all my stuff and clean - 2 things which i absolutely love to do! i was so pumped! and it looks grrrreat!
• saw g-force last night just because it was something to do and i wanted to get to the lovely little bitty lake city movie theater as much as possible before it closes for the fall. if you don't know, g-force is a movie about guinea pigs who are trained spies. it was a lot better than i thought it would be, and pretty stinkin' funny, too!
• mandatory peak hike this morning. i was pretty bummed about having to wake up at 5 on a saturday morning to hike a mountain that i wasn't all that interested in climbing. but...i did get up and was able to put on a good face for the most part. i think after working 6 months solid on program (with kiddos) my body is just...tired. i have been a bit shaky the past 2 days and i don't know why exactly, but oh well. we ended up only making it to the saddle of redcloud, which was difficult for me because we could see the peak and it would have only been 1.5 hours more to get to the summit! i just don't like going that far and having to turn around. but most of the new staff were having issues adjusting to the altitude or were just plain hurting. when we got back to the van, becca realized that somehow the key fell off the carabiner and so she had to hitch-hike the 40ish minutes back to camp to get a spare key, then drive back to get us. but i took a nap on top of the van on the rack, and it was nice.
• the aspens are already starting to turn and they look pretty. i am excited for yellow leaves! seas of gold on the mountains!
• yesterday we played ultimate frisbee and volleyball at the park in lake city. it was a lot of fun! i realized maybe i am not as bad at ultimate as i thought. not great, but not horrible!
• aaaaaaand right now i am really tired and can't think of anything else to say.
