just got back from setting up a tent with emily and emma from ropes. we’re camping out for heag zero energy week. finally, i get my camping wish! the ems are really nice, they’re both frosh from kirkland and we’ve been doing ropes together for a few weeks now. on wednesday i ate dinner at the diner with emma and a bunch of other ropes kids and i had such a good time. that is what i always imagined college would be like. i was so surprised to say something and have someone else laugh outloud and say something back and hear people laugh in a “you’re clever and funny” way instead of a “yeah, riiiight, whatever” way. definitely haven’t had that since camp. or my house. but that doesn’t count. the “whatever” laugh was getting me down.
so, we are devoted to the camping cause, but i have to point out the fact that our tent stands alone on the quad right now! maybe that’s b/c it’s 36 degrees out and raining and windy? nah, couldn’t be. some guy with a camera came out and just seemed shocked to see us. and we can’t wait to tell andrew (the wild british ropes/adventure program director) that, while we might now feel confident enough to try cutaway rescues on the high elements, we aren’t afraid to conquer the elements! it is pretty darn cold out there though.
and post-camping, i’m leaving for south hadley! i can’t wait to see blanchard and holly’s room in safford and, oh yeah, holly! there is much excitement.
discovered this site today. not only is still emily the most popular name for baby girl’s and the 99th most common name for women in the united states (but a very rare male name in fact), but white is the 14th most common last name! i’m holding on over ever so dearly to locke. locke. locke. locke.
love always, em locke
