I know, it's been a while. In the past few weeks I've survived 4 exams, worked a couple days, endured what seems like endless hours of physiology lecture (how's 10 hours in a week sound?), and ended up on an intramural basketball team. I went climbing late (the wall is open from 4-8 pm) one Wednesday so I would finish just in time to watch our intramural basketball teams play their first games before I went home. I watched the "A" team win by a huge margin, and somehow ended up on our "B" team in order to keep us from a forfeit - co-ed basketball teams MUST have at least 2 female players on the court to start the game, they only had one at the beginning of the game. This is particularly funny since I haven't played basketball since 7th grade. It's been fun, and I even scored a basket in each of the last two games - the first two games I avoided getting the ball on offense at all.
I slightly sprained my ankle in a game November 2, so I haven't been climbing or much else. In order to get some exercise, I've been walking around the long block on which I live - it's about 5K, or 3.1 miles. Here are some highlights from that stroll:
Fall colors come out in small pockets.
I just find this street name amusing.
If you look closely, there's a plastic snake in the top of the shrub - Halloween decoration!
Yes, this is really someone's mailbox!
Another pocket of color.
And a pretty leaf.
I also went for a hike with some friends this past Saturday - that's a subject for another post.
