"studying about that good old way"

hey-o!

i dig bullets because then i can post random thoughts & they look orderly.

i was under the impression that our outing to the lake district on saturday was going to be a short walk from one town to the other. no. no. it was a hike. hardcore people could call it a walk. but i, as you well know, am not hardcore. it was a few hours & the scenery was lovely but it was hot out & we were all sweaty & gross & yuck. we took some lovely {& creepy} photos. it was good exercise. i felt like dying half the time. after all of that sweaty goodness & a few falls {not me, fortunately}, we made it to the town of ambleside. it was small. we were tired & thirsty. courtney & david & luke & i sat in a cafe. then it was time to walk back to the buses. it was a long day. almost everyone went. i think the enthusiasm for these trips will decrease rapidly but it was a good first round. 

saturday night, however, was wonderful. we had a ceilidh. pronounced "kay-lee". {i definitely looked up the spelling of that one.} we learned how to scottish dance. from a scottish man named dougie. {i start singing teach me how to dougie when i see him} it was great. courtney was my first partner. we're a little short on men. story of my life... haha... joke... so, yeah. that was good. we ended up doing the macarena & the cha-cha slide somewhere in there. it all ended in a dance party. that slowly died down. people are funny though. we were in a big circle & people were hopping in the middle & dancing around. oh, bible school dance parties in the courtyard...

last night, the roomies & i were in a strange mood. we were practicing our frown smiles. you frown then smile with just your mouth. that turned into horse-face pictures. then neck-face pictures. then a combination. if you don't know what these things are, ask a friend. the pictures are so unattractive. i don't think i could ever post them. & we did some random exercises sometime in there. we used a shoe as a medicine ball to toss back & forth. i don't remember what else we were doing but i almost wet myself from laughing. after a quick bathroom trip, i came back to find all four roommates in my bed. they're a delight. i piled on then we watched new girl on my laptop. it was another late night.

our lecture this morning was a walk through the bible. we're learning hand motions remember the stories from the old testament. i love it.

everyone's getting sick. i think i'm next.

that's all for now folks.

friends creep on friends through bus windows.

there was a lake. in the lake district.

& a cave.

so LOTR

friends also have spoon wars.
