What an awesome freaking picture. Man I just want to go there and run it. That's the runner in me, to see mountains or really cool hills or fields and run them. It's weird, I get more out of it by running through it than walking, which it should be the opposite because when you walk through it you get to soak in more due to the fact that you are going at a slower pace. Nope! Not for me! I gotta run through it; it's more lively, adventurous, action packed: nature seems to come alive when I run. Anyways, yeah mountains. See this mountain is a "good" mountain where it's beautiful, an adventure, a new turn in your life that will be fun to go through, like running up the mountain where it is just blissful where God is unmistakablyclear and you can see Him with no problem. A bad mountain is a like a struggle, a period in your life when everything just hits the fan and spirals downwards. Maybe it doesn't have to be going downwards but upwards, just something is hard at the moment and it's hard to get over it, to move through it, to struggle through that battle your facing and winning. It's a lot harder to see God when you're barely crawling up the mountain, although it's a lot easier to remember Him during your time of need; not so much when life is going your way.
Anyways, that little spurt of babble came from a song i just listened to called "You don't have to move that mountain" by Nickel Creek. Today was definitely like a little hill with sharp rocks embedded in it. Basically it was a rough day, well rough week in general so hmmm, that hill got a little bit bigger but not a huge mountain. But today, ouuuu weee, it was tough, tougher than usual i should say. Beginning with last night, 545-9 work, 9-10 dinner and research paper typing (dinner was Alfredo and spaghetti sauce spagetti), 10-1030 late night run, 1040-1115 research paper, 1120-bed. 500am wake up, 530-1010 work, 1030-`1130 geology class and quiz, 1130-1215 research paper,1215- 1245 frisbee, 110-300 research paper, 3-4 class, 4-7 typing on this and studying for geography exam, 7-10 class, 10-1030 maybe a run. So in summary it was one freaking hectic day with me either studying, typing, or working. These past couple of days really makes me want to have a good weekend; i understand now the phrase work hard, play hard. While on my run last night, Steve freaking jumped out of the bushes and scared the crap out of me thinking he was some kind of thief or something. Haha, that was funny; a fun interruption during a stressful, hard day, although he started conversation and i was like, uhhh you chose a weird time to talk about stuff-in the middle of my run, huh, hahaha. Nah it was cool,scary, but funny although on the way back i almost threw up the dinner a couple of times which was not cool; never eat spaghetti 30 before your run.
I think i'll go for another late night run tonight, those are fun. Seems more serene and tranquil. So Fall Breaks is coming up, freaking heck yes! Upside: No classes, little hw, lots of free time, time to check out that trail Shane gave me directions too (Any one want to come???!!!!)
Downside: Work (not a lot though), everyone is leaving except like Katie and I, and I have a house to myself. Hmm I think i'm going to go find that mountain and run it!
Side note: I've been playing Volleyball almost on a weekly basis with the ryan's and travis. Travis and I are on a team, we win a few games but have been getting better as vb partners. Anyways, i say 'freaking a' a lot when i mess up or over hit the ball or something and the other day when we were playing i caught him saying it, and then saying it a lot. that was funny, interesting how the people you interact as such an impact whether you recognize it or not.
