my birthday (!)

so guess what, today is my birthday!

yup, no longer a teenager anymore, but still definitely a child. 

no big plans for today, but that's ok. my birthday often gets lost in the throes of school, and whatnot. in fact, it has happened that my b-day has been the first day of school a few times (8th grade, and last year, at least that i remember). 

i already had class today, have one more at 11, and then an appointment with my physical therapist later on. (by the way, i have the best luck with p.t.'s... first a wildly outrageous lady in idaho falls, now its this upbeat younger chick that is really, really beautiful. just thought i should throw that in.) 

and there have been two kinda crazy things that have happened while here.

first, there is this kid from ketchum that i met over the summer at the fins, and as luck would have it, he and i have the same literature class. so, when i am all healed it's lookin like i've got a climbing partner! and he's pretty strong too, he was rollin through a few of the lower end 5.12s at the fins the day i met him.

second, and possibly the strangest thing ever.... really.... strangest ever.....

i'm becoming a vegetarian.

yeah....

let that sink in....

strange....

it's not really by choice though, it's because my stomach just can't handle most of the meat they serve at "the schwag", the dorm cafeteria. so spinach has kinda become the staple of my diet. i dunno.... i could eat all that garbage last year... but this year, it just makes me sick to the stomach, which is a bitch, cause, well, it's hard to eat enough bagel sandwiches and salad for me to be full. i did have a muenster/spinach omelette this morning, and it was pretty good.

so yeah. 20th birthday! woot!
