| So I've been having an alright time in Boulder. I go biking, running, or hiking almost every day. Last weekend I hiked to the top of South Boulder Peak. Overall it was a 5 hour hike, and super exhausting, but worth it once I got to the top. Crazy views to the west. Oh yeah, and partway up the trail I encounter a sign that says, "you are entering a mountain lion's home." Um, scared the shit out of me. This guy came up hiking behind me, and I just heard a noise and I thought it was mountain lion. I about freaked out, almost fell down. It was embarrassing. I ran the BolderBoulder 10k on Memorial Day. It ended in the stadium, which was so cool, having all these people cheering as you ran across the finish line. I felt like I accomplished something. For the Memorial Day celebration they had 5 parachuters land on the field, then 2 jets do a flyover. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'm gonna have to go to an airshow sometime. I don't know anyone here, so I've got a lot of free time on my hands, and I've decided to learn how to box. I found a gym that's 10 minutes from my house. I did an intro lesson yesterday, and am gonna start doing the group workouts 3 times a week. I'm pretty excited for it. Even with all this stuff I've been doing, it still gets really lonely. It's not fun. I do everything by myself, and rarely talk to people at work. Don't get me wrong, I like to chill by myself, but it gets lonely at a certain point. My cubicle is almost completely enclosed, which is good for slacking off, but I don't have a whole lot of human contact. I haven't even been out to any bars in Boulder yet. I've been 21 for 2 weeks, and I suck at it. I wish I could go back to last summer. Everything was awesome then. I loved going to work everyday, the people were really cool, and I had fun. Being in an office sucks. I sit at my desk for 9 hours every day. I don't like working in an office with people who have chosen to sit at a desk, everyday of their lives. How boring. Jobsites are so much better, everyone is more personable, and a lot more entertaining. I miss the Bay Area. I miss hanging out on the boats, talking to Matt. I would give anything to see Matt again. |
