10/31 - So, got back from 4Gs early in the morning, washed off my whiskers and passed the heck out... slept in the next day (still in my costume minus my tail and ears) and hung out for a few hours til we left for Boulder for Halloween... after all, I'm wearing the same costume... Around 630, we were all finally in costume again and ready (which was easier for me, seeing as how I was pretty much still in mine, lol) and caught the 27 bus to downtown denver, where we would catch another bus to Boulder. It was me, erin, katherine, sierra, kassie, and annie. Got to Boulder around 8:30ish and headed to Pearl Street, which was INSANE! One huge mob of people in crazy costumes, lines out the door of every restaurant and bar... So, we walked around for a while, then decided to find a less crazy place to chill for a while. Headed to the liquor store, then the park at the end of Pearl Street, where Katherine and I discovered a new favorite, captain and orange soda! so freakin good!... had a blast hanging out, until i peed on my tail by accident, and by 12:30 became a tailless roadkill critter... oh well, i am dead and run over anyway...
Once our supply was depleted, headed back to Pearl Street and found Jamie, Mary, and Chris... who came sprinting towards us with open arms and almost knocked annie and i on our backs. Wandered for a while, taking pictures with ppl in awesome costumes, then found an awesome restaurant/random window in a brick wall on a side street that served amazing sandwiches, wraps, etc, and chowed down... met up with erin's friend looby, chilled for a while, and headed back to his place to crash for the night. Awesomely random night... definitely a great Halloween!
skipping a bunch of days cuz basically just did training and hung out playing games, etc in the dorms...
11/4 - Finally did our baseline PT test, now that the snow has finally melted... I think I did decent, considering its all hills here and really high altitude... did 32 pushups in a minute, 66 crunches, and ran a mile and a half in 16:30. Not too shabby for not running in years, but will def do better next time.
11/5 - 11/6 - Then had 2 days of red cross training for shelter operations, first aid, and cpr. fun with manicans.. yay! lol Best part was that afterwards we got our FINAL TEAMS and our first SPIKE PROJECT!!! yay! been waiting for almost a month to find out!! So, I'm on Fire 5, Jourdan's team (best TL in my opinion) with:
Erin, Katy, Meghan, Lena, AJ, Andrew, Adam, Eli, Katie, Victoria, Joe, and myself of course...
and we are headed to HOUSTON TEXAS to work at Lake Houston State Park with the Parks & Recreation department doing trail work 3 days a week and working in their environmental education center 2 days a week... SO EXCITED! Everyone on my team is mad cool and our project ROCKS!!! We'll be living in a large open (1-room) lodge.. so we'll be nice and close after these next 4 weeks. And we have a mile hike to our worksite everyday, plus lots of manual labor, so we should all get our butts whipped into shape too.
the only thing that sucks is that our fearsome foursome is getting split up.. erin and i are on a team together, but sierra and katherine are on different teams... so we decided to hang out as much as possible for the next week until we all get shipped to different parts of the country. After team assignments, we all headed to the barn store and then to the park next to campus to chill... me, erin, sierra, katherine, and joel. Such an awesomely chill night, hung out, BSed, took lots of pictures, I'm really gonna miss these guys when we leave next saturday... we're just gonna have to make the most out of transition weeks...
