School, School, School

So this past week I have been putting off my studying as much as is humanly possible (one way in which I've done this is to post this update). Well, now the school work has caught up with me and I have one week left to study for a big test that I haven't even prepared for. On top of that I have another test coming up this Wednesday that I have to study for and I haven't. Why do we procrastinate like this, what is it that is so terrible about studying? I'm usually fine once I get going on studying, it's just the getting there that I need to work on. I need some tangible goals to help me overcome this fault that I have. I'm not even a full time student this semester so I have no excuses. What do you guys do to help you get going on your school work? And how do you fit life in as well? I'm just so clueless! At least I know that I'm not going to have to do this forever, or am I?

Ouray

So this past Presidents Day weekend, I did something that I've never done before and I thought that I would never do. I went with my two roommates (Abby and Shae) to Ouray Colorado to do some Ice climbing. Crazy, I know, but I had an absolute blast and I fell in love with the sport. We left Friday night and got up bright and early Saturday morning to do some climbing.


Here's a pic of me climbing , I kind of blend in with the scenery, but you get the idea. It was so crazy and scary because I thought that I would fall and die so many times.
These are the crazy shoes that I had to put on. They are called crampons (I think a girl came up with that name to give guys a visual of what we go through). When John first handed them to me I thought that they were little bear traps. I very soon learned to love these crampons and depend on them a lot. Here's some Pics of Abby and Shae climbing.

I also got to try my hand at Belaying, I didn't do half bad either (Shae lived to tell about it).
But it wasn't all freezing cold conditions, near death experiences, and adrenalin rushes. When we got back to the cabin at night it was a party goin' on, yayeah! Check out our sexy hair!
And Branigan and John singing the brownie song.
In all it was a fantastic trip with good friends, new friends, beautiful scenery, a sense of adventure, and all out fun! I can't wait to go back next year
