I figured I might as well add a new post since it has been three months since I last posted. Things have been going okay. I get a two week vacation coming up soon, although I don't know if I want to take the entire two weeks or just one and cash the other week in instead. I suppose the money couldn't hurt, and one week is plenty anyway, so I think I am going to go that route. The week the fall semester starts sounds like as good a time as any to take it since I have no special excursion planned later in the year.
One of my friends, Jeremy, is heading off to Navy bootcamp in a few weeks. I'm gonna miss him, and I wish him the best of luck. We're going to go camping/rafting next weekend to celebrate the last few weeks we'll see him as a regular citizen. I've been never before, so I'm especially excited. I believe we're going to be going to Spring River. I remember planning to go there when I was a kid with one of my friends and his parents, but some disagreement came up between my mom and my friend's parents (as far as I remember) so I didn't end up getting to go. I was disappointed, but it looks like I'll get the chance this time.
My 5 year anniversary to SG is coming up soon (counting the hiatus I had). It's really hard to imagine that I've been here this long. It's nostalgic to reminisce on all of the memories I have of the community here. Overall, I'd say it's been a blast.

I used to go canoeing and rafting as a kid with our youth group, but we never went on the spring river. The only advice I can offer is "plan on getting wet....no matter what, it will happen"
Other than that, just remember to keep the blade of your paddle all the way in the water when you stroke so that you get the full power out of your stroke.
Have a blast!
