Hey everyone,
Things are good my life. Here are the highlights.
-Grand Canyon Trip got cancelled which was lame... I guess I'll have to wait and see if it gets rescheduled in a few weeks.
-I'm still trying to do my whole national novel writing month thing but its a little slow going. This week i have a few extra days off since I'm covering Thanksgiving so I'll have some extra time to play catch up.
-I started my scuba class which is basically amazing. Heres a poem I wrote about scuba on Thursday at poetry club.
Scuba
They say it’s like breathing for the first time.
I don’t know how they’d that since they’d be too young to remember,
But I recon it’s probably so.
You feel out of place, awkward.
Big and bulbous, like a beached whale
Fins flop as you enter the water.
You take your role, don your mask, and become a fish incognito
Air fills your lungs.
The initial panic dissipates with each breath.
You take control.
You’re an acquatic Vader, dark and suited
Keeeesh Koosh
You are the master of a new universe.
With the touch of a button your suit deflates and you descend like an astronaut into the great unknown,
You lean forward and flutter,
What was once ugly and sluggish is now graceful and beautiful
Like a butterfly taking to the air
Your life as a caterpillar is completely forgotten
Yeah, basically, I'm stoked about swimming with the manta rays, diving for lobsters, and all that good stuff which will happen someday hopefully.
-My friend Kenny and I are going to take up snowboarding. I'm rather excited to get seriously into since I got a small taste of things last winter with Deseret Scott.
-I've been doing a fair amount of knitting as of late. I'm also planning a few other sewing projects. ^_^ we'll see how it goes.
Ummm... I guess thats all for now. Next week I'll be seeing Harry Potter midnight showing ::girlish squeals of delight:: and the ward talent show : P . Action and adventure are on the horizon. I guess its time to wrap up another week.
Jill
