Today is the first day of classes back up in Corvallis at OSU, and I am not there. I know that I graduated, I have the degree sitting at home, but it doesn't sink in until days like today when I feel like I should be back in school, because it's what I've been doing the last 16 years of my life. Going to school in the falls and taking classes until a break in June meant freedom once again. But here I am, sitting in my office of my job on my island not going back to school. Crazy. I love the feeling but I'm still getting used to it as well.
We had our first big rain storm over the weekend. Complete with lightening! We landed the Catalina Duchess on Friday afternoon bringing on 84 YMCA dads and daughters out for a weekend of fun and all we had to greet them was an awesome downpour and mud slides for hills. The roads were closed as well so it was the boats for us in terms of getting around. Good fun though. I woke up Friday morning to the rain and was so excited that I couldn't sleep anymore. I snuggled with our resident house cat and listened to the rain while reading Harry Potter. What a life. The rain really brought out the smell of the eucalyptus trees around camp too. That was awesome. And we all know how I love wearing my rain gear around. My feet got nice and muddy with the chacos and I busted out the skirt because pants would have gotten to dirty.
Go figure the girl from Oregon would be wearing a skirt and chacos when it rains.
