backpacking trip

Yesterday was supposed to be my outdoor pursuits backpacking trip. When we got to the the field house with all our stuff Jeff told he had to resort to "plan C". When he rented the vans for saturday we were supposed to get 2 vans but somehow someone screwed up and all the vans were taken. So instead of going somewhere we went to the high ropes course and set up our tents there. It was fun but i think going to Minister valley would have been a lot more fun. The ropes course was fun because we got to ride the zip line and do the triangle course. I think they need to make the zip a little longer or steeper because it wasnt as much fun as i thought it would be when i got up there and started going down it. It takes a long time to set up all the stuff at the ropes course but i hope we get to do it again.

Pryor picks Ohio st.

last week the highest recruited high school football player decided he would go to ohio st this fall to play football. I thought for sure he would pick michigan because ryan mallet transfered and rich rodriguez has an offense built just for him. I dont know who ohio states qb was last season but i know he was a freshmen and did pretty good so i dont know who will start. I knew he wouldnt go to penn state but thats where i wanted pryor to go. He said penn state was too country for him. State college is a big town so i dont know what he was talking about. I guess because all around state college there is nothing.

outdoor pursuits

This weekend my outdoor pursuits class is going backpacking in minister valley. Most people in the class have never been camping or dont spend time in the woods. Unlike others i am very prepared to go backpacking because i spend a lot of time in the woods because i love hunting, fishing, camping, and just being in the woods. I have all the equipment i need to spend a couple days in the woods. Hopefully it wont rain because no one likes being in the rain especially if its cold out.

red sox go to japan

tonight the red sox will fly to japan to play a baseball game. It almost didnt happen. The red sox decided to go and then found out they were not going to be compensated for it. They werent very worried about theirselves but they wanted the entire staff on the red sox to get paid for the time it will take them away from the states for a game. I feel for the red sox because travelling across the ocean and dealing with the time change can take a lot of energy out of the team.

spring break

We recently had spring break for 10 school days. I dont think they could of screwed it up any worse. We dont even get a day off for good friday. I know this is a public school and easter is a religous holiday but everyone should have good friday off. Last year they gave us 3 days off for easter. I think they should at least give us the day after easter off or good friday. People that live far away are not going to be able to celebrate easter with their family.
