Old friends:

My friends from high school D-- and T-- are in town this weekend. I'm hoping to have some time to do some stuff with them, though I have to work on Saturday. Stupid work.

My first jumper show:

I rode in my first jumper show on Saturday. Other than the fact that riding hungover is not fun, it went pretty well. Fly and I won our first class, a timed first jumpoff thing. It was really too fast, though. 35 seconds in the jumpoff, but we were miraculously clean. He ran my knee into a jump standard right after the jumpoff though, and I have a nice bruise. The second class was a lot more in control, but we had a rail down. Ah well, it was a good round still.

Fin del Mundo:

So I'm using the excuse that the left shift key(my preferred shift key) on my laptop is broken for why I haven't updated in a while.

Anyway, I just spent an insane amount of money booking tickets to the fin del mundo, the end of the world, southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. I guess it costs so much to get there because it is really the end of the world, the furthest south inhabited point is Puerto Williams on the Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego.

And I'm going there. In only a little over a month. Glaciers and penguins and me. I'm getting excited.
