Workin From Home Kind of Day

 Lucy and I worked from home today. Waking up and getting to work on getting our papers done for the wrap up of senior project. But in addition to this, we also planned a lot out today. We gathered all of the things we would need to have at our booth for express fest from rope to harnesses and carabiners and even some big bouldering matt. In addition to this, we made our own certificates to have on display for getting lead certified even though we never actually get a paper showing that we got certified. We are very excited about the express fest but there is still many things to be done that are small but play a role in having a successful night tomorrow night. Sorry but we did not really take photos of us just sitting in our room.  Total Work Hours today 5 Total hours 56.5 hours

WE GOT LEAD CERTIFIED.

Image
  So Lucy and I barely got out of bed on time to meet Rosanna at 930 to make our way down to Concord where we were tested to get lead certified which was a very important part of our senior project! We got to evo and practiced doing some lead climbs beforew we had someone watch over us. Now Rosanaa told us "oh this woman is so nice and kind she will be no stress when watching you climb" Rosanna ended up coming back with an old man who was quite intimidating as he watched Lucy and I climb. Both Licy and I are officially Lead certafied in the outdoor climbing world!!! Lucy and I got back to campus and decided to get to work on our presenatation for express fest!!  Hours done Today:6 Total Hours:51.5

Weekly Reflection#2

     To whoever may be reading my blog right now!!! This is my weekly reflection on what I learned this week while working on my wonderful adventurous senior project with my dear friend Lucy Werner!!      Starting off with what we learned this week. Lucy and I learned that we both really enjoy hiking. We put up over 12 signs this past week and had a lot of fun doing it. Except for when we got lost near Hopkins because trail forks were  not cooperating with us. We learned that we can valuably plan out our days and also have plenty of time to relax if we plan accordingly. This means waking up early before the heat of the day and getting out so we can come back for lunch and rest for a little bit.          I loved what we did this week. It was even more exciting than what we did last week. We got to go practice climbing at evo after a long week of specifically focusing on hiking and getting signs up. We had a lot of fun this ...

CLIMBING AT EVO

Image
  Lucy and I woke up like every single other morning... then we got in her F150 and drove down to Concord blasting some throwback jams...aka old Kesha and Katy Perry however, Lucy was not having it with my music taste. We arrived at Evo and decided that it would be a big day for climbing on our bodies. We both ended up climbing 3 different routes all eventually getting harder. From a 5.7 to a 5.9 we did them all.  Lucy and I laughed a lot during our time together with Rosanna about how terrible the Aux was in Evo at the beginning of the day. We were exhausted after practicing clipping in two other tricky climbs and belays but in the end, we were okay. Back to Proctor, we went where we did some individual work and planned out our last few signs that we would end up putting up in the Proctor Woodlands.  Todays time: 3 hours  Total time 46.5 hours

Some More Signs As Usual

Image
 Today Lucy and I awoke early and decided that today we would be up and out working on signage. We decided to head over to the Hopkins area of campus and get upper Hopkins up and Flovid-19 up. We successfully did so and even got lost along the way! This was not a fun thing to do especially when Lucy was hiking in Birkenstocks and I had no tick protection on at all. Trail forks were getting on our nerves and we were constantly searching for the nails to put into the trees. After a long morning of hiking we came back to campus exhausted and went off to do our own things from my own lacrosse game and Lucy had her own senior game! So proud of the two of us and hopefully we will be able to go rock climbing quite soon. Evo here we come!  Total hours from today:5.5 Total hours 32

SIGNS SIGNS SIGNS

 Today was quite a day for hiking. Not only was the weather perfect for hiking it wasn't humid nor was it hot. Lucy and I started the day off a little slow with both of us in a food coma we had no motivation to get up and out of bed. But we did it. We got up and out of bed and got dressed in the appropriate clothes for tick and bug season and headed over to Mac field. We hiked and hiked and saw many beautiful and cool sights. It was a big day for Lucy and I. We were able to get up a whopping 9 signs up in the Proctor Woodlands. We were proud of ourselves and we had a great time listening to some good down to earth sounds and laughed a lot. I face planted hard in the ground and lucy just sat above me laughing and yelling at me to get up... would not want any other type of relationship.
