second week of school starts tomorrow.

st louis is nice... 80degrees. the canoe trip was great. blah di blah.

i have a new pair of snowboarding shoes on at this very second. i've suddenly been handed a free pair. i have a feeling that i will soon be spending money on winter sports as weel as my biking passion. starting this may i will have the money for all of my materialistic tendencies. i've never snowboarded before. if i'm lucky and i get to go this december, i will find out if i have the knack or not.

oh yeah. PFT was saturday and although on the situps and pushups i didn't push myself, i kicked butt on the run. hear that? i actually pushed myself those two miles. thanks to Iveta, of course, who ran with me.

in Mariposa, CA. tomorrow we're heading out to Travis and HOPEFULLY i will get on the plane Sunday for Scott AFB. (My Aunt Sandy is AWESOME.) Last night had a nice margarita on the rocks. (did i mention how COOL my Aunt Sandy is?) today i CUT MY HAIR> refer to fall 1998. yes. EXTRA short. :)
oh, and today i finally got my luggage that Greyhound lost. (my pack and my bike)
ciao!

i'm still here in Monterey. no, i know, i wasn't supposed to be here still. well, greyhound and amtrak have been giving me difficulties b/c of my bike. grrr. so... tomorrow i'm going to Mariposa. then my Aunt Sandy is taking me to Travis, AFB. i HOPE i get on the flight to Scott that day because if i don't, my next chance won't be until Tuesday. i need to get back to St. Louis!

just for the record: this is the WEIRDEST summer ever.

this is a great little town. my grandparents are here from Mariposa visiting. just had a delicious salmon sandwich.

thinking about taking the train to Mariposa next week.... gonna check out that area of Cali before i head back to St. Louis.

ciao
