With very little time left, I have to try to see if I can get anymore items on my 30@30 list crossed off. I am completely fine, however, with the idea that if I do not get everything crossed off, I can move what I have not been able to do onto my 31@31 list.
So today, I was able to cross off another item from my 30@30 list – going rock climbing.
One of the good things about being in school again is making connections with people who enjoy various activities and sports. Many of my classmates talked about how much they enjoyed rock climbing and even more fortunate was the fact that one of my classmate’s family owned a rock climbing gym.
Since I had never been rock climbing before, I had to take a lesson on how to tie a harness as well as climb and belay (act as the anchor for someone who is climbing).
Earlier this week (on Tuesday) I was driving up with my classmates Evelyn and Julia E. to our offsite outreach. Julia was asking me if I had any plans for Thursday (today). I told her I wasn’t sure. She mentioned that she was going climbing with our classmate Corina at Marietta’s (another classmate) family’s rock climbing gym. I told Julia that I would be interested in going since rock climbing was one of the things I wanted to cross off my list.
So Thursday rolled around and Marietta told us that she would be working at the gym on Thursday afternoon and would be able to teach myself and our classmate Elena how to climb. So we took her up on her offer, which I’m really glad I did.
Rock climbing is a pretty great activity and I was able to really exhaust my body. I’m grateful I was able to share the experience with Marietta, Julia, Elena, and Corina. And thanks so much Marietta for teaching me the ropes :P
I think it’s definitely going to be something that I keep up with for the foreseeable future.
