day 9: the first day of the second week

this morning was another assessment hike. we hiked a trail called "temple quarry". there were minimal sights to see, and there was no temple. how disappointing. it was a good work out though, i burned about 1200 calories. sucks though, because i trail jogged a lot of it.

this week i believe i've been put with the advanced group. i guess we'll see how that works out for me. i have to hike stop sign tomorrow, so this blog post is going to be short.

breakfast was a greek frittata with avocado on top. it was awesome! cute elliptical boy served me. (he comes up again later in this blog post which makes me want to gag).

after breakfast i took the life coaching lecture again because i hear it's different every week. it was okay, not too different though so i was slightly disappointed. after that i took mountain. my friend Kateri and i tried to run for a lot of it, but we both couldn't break it. i think it's become a subconscious goal of ours for the next two weeks.

lunch was a carrot soup, and a rice and bean burrito with a small salad. lunch was also embarrassing.
there's a server alex who usually spikes his hair, but today he didn't. i told him i liked his hair better that way (without spikes) but apparently he took it the wrong way. a few minutes later cute elliptical boy came out from the kitchen, out from the dining hall, to the back patio tables, and stood in front of our table. my insides started to crumble. he looked at our table and went, "which one of you is sierra?". no. not real. i graduated middle school in '06. none of this was okay. so, at the least witty moment of my life i just said, "umm.. that's me." he just responded with a "hey what's up?" and things got pretty awkward for him, me, and the rest of the table surrounding me. i turned around and alex was watching. he got a kick out of it for some reason but the whole situation was really awkward and awful. anyways...

afterwards, the second week+ people had "open gym" which changes every day. today it was volleyball in the new gymnasium. it was so fun but i danced through most of it and tended to dodge the ball... volleyball has never really been my thing. next was h20 intervals, then circuit training and then core training. today was easier than last monday. i feel stronger and in better shape. but i can't believe it's only the beginning of week 2.

dinner was a salmon burger and a side of broccoli. it was pretty awesome. i'm always amazed at how well the food comes out.

shanelle, annie, charlene, and i decided to go to a store that sold a lot of nike products for cheap. i didn't buy anything, but it was nice looking. i switched my appointment with scott to thursday because my back is feeling okay and i have a feeling it'll be better to save a spot at the end of the week incase it does start to hurt again.

i miss you all a lot. i wish you would all comment more but that's okay. i'll get over it.
with love from the middle school,
goodnight!
