Camping!

This weekend Bryce and I went camping in a park about an hour south of campus. It was really pretty down there, in a very Midwest kind of way. Corn fields everywhere on the way to the park; the park itself was fairly forested, if filled with lots of trailer people who play loud country music. We set up our tent in a site far from everyone else, started a fire, and had delicious grilled cheese and s'mores.

The weekend was very peaceful. No stressing about homework or other responsibilities--they were so far away! (About an hour away, to be precise.) The lake was gorgeous. We even got a late-night thunderstorm, and our tent kept us completely dry! It was awesome.

We need squishier ground pads though. I'm still a little sore.

My responsibilities have worked their way into my dreams. My dream last night involved Brandi asking if I'd reserved the hotel yet, and I thought I had responded to Kirsten's email about my class. My other dreams this week and last have been similar. Probably not a good thing? I can't tell. I still don't quite feel like I have my life together yet. But I'm trying really hard. 

I can't tell if I need more or fewer breaks from my work and responsibilities.
