Just incase you're still a little confused about how hard my life rocks, let me explain. Winthrop pays my graduate school tuition and I go rafting and backpacking for 3 days with the outdoor education class (also a free trip for me). With only a month left of school, I could think of no better way to end my graduate assistantship than living out of a backpack in the wilderness with 17 undergrads. We rafted 10 miles on the Chatooga River, hiked 14 miles, purified our own water, and slept in tents that did not keep us warm for 2 nights. The trail we had to hike on Friday was 7 miles up a curvy gravel road so naturally I had to throw up on the side of the mountain on the way up. Then I slammed my head into a huge tree that I somehow didn't see on the trail. So other than those 2 things and the fact that I thought all my organs would freeze during the night, it was a great trip! How bout we end with some quotes from our adventures...
After falling out of the raft..
Ayles: "Now I know why the people on the Titanic made those faces."
Brittany: "Next year I'm taking indoor education."
Emily: "I really like being out here and not caring about what you look like. No make-up. No hair.
Me and Britt: "No hair?"
To the chickfila customer standing behind us in line...
Jasmine: "Sorry we smell bad."

HAHAHAHA. I didn't know Ayles said that. That is hilarious. You missed Jamie's excellent scientific observance: "Yeah, a bullet moves faster than your fist."
