Life...oh how I love you, and loathe you too. It has been so busy lately, I've hardly had any time to write anything. Girl's Camp and Youth Conference was last week. I'm kind of glad that's over, although I enjoyed the review of things that I learned in the past, not to mention the new things I learned.
I learned how to "throw" people, and all sorts of defensive moves from a retired Alaska Trooper. It got me interested in Judo, something a couple of my friends have been doing for awhile. Come to think of it, I always thought "WHY do they do that?" I got my answer; because it's FUN. It makes you feel kind of powerful. Of course, Renaye was the only person I could successfully throw, and she's only 115 pounds and two inches shorter than me...maybe I'll get Caity to teach me some of it. Hmmm...
I re-learned fire building, giving me just enough to realize my older brother positively fails at making fires to cook hot dogs on. Also, I'm pretty good at fire building, if I do say so myself (which I do).
I learned how to be safe on the internet, and how to present the Book of Mormon. I learned more about how relationships work, and re-discovered how important education is. I touched dry ice and nearly choked on my sandwich. I did CPR on a dummy, and turned red from laughing so hard.
Yes, last week was fun, despite some of the virtual rain clouds.
I'm nannying for one of my dad's friends this summer, and she gave me emergency numbers for a couple of her friends who are certified at one of the local clinics. Made me seriously consider getting CPR certified...I need to look into that.
I also need to fill my prescription for my glasses, and start studying for my drivers permit. I *have* to get it this month in order to get my license in December.
~La vie est belle, Bri~
