Spring Break

Thanks to not having technology class today, my spring break has started early! We had a midterm in Outdoor Pursuits class at 9:30 and I was able to leave right after that. Around 4pm today I'm starting my long drive to visit my sister in Charleston South Carolina. The drive is going to take about 12 to 13 hours. Were planning on going to the beach and just hanging out and relaxing in the warmth!

Climbing Wall

Yesterday in Outdoor Pursuits class we went down to the ARC to use the climbing wall. First we went over the safety of everything again and then split up into our groups. One person for the group climbed, one was a belayer, one was a back-up belayer, and the other filled out a peer assessment form. We were only allowed to climb about 6 feet off of the ground so we could get the feel of it and become comfortable doing it. Another reason we only went about 6 feet off the ground was for safety. This also allowed the belayer to be comfortable doing what they had to do. I thought it was fun and I'm excited to go back to the wall with the class after spring break.

Efolio

Working on my Efolio for Tech class is going to drive me nuts. Why? Probably because I am a procrastinator. Usually I work well under pressure but not for this big of a project. I will definatly have to make a schedule or somthing and make sure I follow it. I will probably have to make sure my roommate keeps bugging me about it to make sure I get it done.

Outdoor Pursuits

Hey everyone,
Currently in my Outdoor Pursuits class, we are learning about rock climbing. We are learning different knots to tie such as the figure eight follow through, figure eight with a bite, and a double figure eight with a bite. We learned how to belay by using caribeaners and belaying devices. We also learned several commands to use while climbing such as tension, slack, rock, falling, etc. On Tuesday we get to go to the climbing wall at the ARC and test our skills.
