Jun. 27th, 2009 06:11 pmI would first like to begin by saying that watching this video will make you smile. I promise. HERE This is hands down the best promo for a tv-show I have no intention of watching, EVER.
Then I would like to say that my sister is awesome. I went to Colorado last weekend to visit her, and she is a raft guide. I mean. She could probably bench press my car, and she had a tan like whoah. Also, she has developed the drill sergeant's bellow and overall, is just entirely impressive.
I looked into guiding pretty seriously- the year there was a terrible drought along the Arkansas, and nobody was hiring- and I never really got back to it. I'm really glad she's doing it for me though, so I can enjoy the benefits, without actually having to live in a tent surrounded by raft guides. (In my experience, there are no heavier drinkers than guides. I'm not really sure how that works, but there you go.)
In other news, I taught two summer camps for Explora. Mostly, I am glad they are over, because they were unbelievably exhausting. But we built giant shapes out of cardboard boxes, and pyramids, and skeletons, and measured the number of calories in a marshmallow, and only a few kids cried. I call it an overall success.
Now, I am in hard-core studying for the MCAT mode (yes, AGAIN.) It's going to be good for me in the long run, but in the short term, twenty pages of physics instruction every day is too much to credibly handle.
