May. 8th, 2006 09:32 pmSo it appears I accidentally disappeared off the face of the Earth again. Oops?
I'm taking Survey Camp at the moment, which means we're spending two weeks running around campus and measuring things. So far, we've had snow, wind, rain, heat, mosquitoes, and sunburn. Luckily the thunderstorms forecasted for today only amounted to showers, because our transits today involved standing on top of hills and waving a 2.5m metal pole around. Which, hello, not the safest thing ever in a thunderstorm. As a side note, my great grandfather was killed by lightening. He was riding his horse over a hill at a rather inopportune moment.
In other news, I got a bicycle! I am absolutely in love with it, as I haven't had a bike since I was 12 or so -- there was another incident, but this time someone rammed me from the side and I flew off the bike and rolled down the hill. It was all very traumatic.
It's a blue and silver commuter bike (yes, mountain bikes are nicer, but also more expensive), and I've had it for something like two weeks and I am still just incredibly excited.
