In that order. . .
After a LONG plague of writer's block I finally finished my Statement of Purpose and sent it to UW Milwaukee. . .overnighted it to be exact. Who knew that 2 pieces of paper would cause me so much stress and grief. . .and 16.50? I think historians are procrastinators at heart. . .I am trying to break that habit.
Rock Climbing. . .the class. . . To be truthful I have been hesitant about the class and that is why I waited to take it until it doesn't count for anything. I have gained weight since I went last and my biggest fear has been that there wouldn't be a harness to fit me. . .and my fat legs. . . I found one online for about $30 Sweet deal! It isn't fancy schmancy, but it fits me. I got to class yesterday and there were all of these sticks with boobs freshmen girls and some guys. . .I was the largest person in the class. . .until Dr. W walked in and I knew that I could rock climb if he could. . . he is not a small man and so it made me feel better. We spent time going over the syllabus and learning technical terms. . .and tying knots. . . sweet! At the end of class he said that despite physical/genetic make up ANYONE can climb. . .YAY!!!! I am pumped. . .I really wish that we had class next week though because I want to get started!
I am going crazy. I just want and need to sit down and bead some stuff to sell. The problem is that some of the things I want to do require sterling silver wire. . .that I don't have. So I went to Joanne's and Michael's to see if they had any in the gage that I want. . .no. . .Looks like I am going to have to just get it online. SAD!!! I did buy a wire jig though. . .I think I did at least. I also bought some more beads because several ideas came to mind when I looked at them. I should get an esty site or sell them on e-bay or something.

That's cool! You are brave. I have been boldering ("small scale rock climbing") in this class I was in in high school called Recreation. I even sprained my ankle doing THAT! You know me and my luck.
But you try everything cool.. snowboarding, mountain climbing.
If I were brave and fit I would want to fence.
fencing isn't that bad. . . I took a class and LOVED it.
You do cool things too that I can't do like. . .Taking care of animals and get to got to a really cool place to work and interact with people. . .besides the fact that you are a bibliophile (If I actually became a major bibliophile I would be reading all the time! Its addictive).
