The Adventures of Pee boy and a wonderful first tramp~

So I feel like so much has happened since I last blogged...Wanted to blog about this first story as soon as it happened, but you guessed it my meats assignment got in the way and I couldn't so here it goes...
Thursday night...I had finished my project and was having a hard time falling asleep becasue I was excited to finally be done, but finally I drifted into slumber. This story involves my neighbor, who will remain anonymous (not like any of you would know him anyways). For the purpose of this story he will be called pee boy. (yes, pee as in urine) Pee boy I beleive to be your "typical" frat boy back home AKA heaps of drinking large quantities of alcohol. So it is approximately 1am and pee boy comes stumbling home making quite the rucous and wakes me up. I just ignore it and fall back to sleep. This is when the "real" story comes into play. I wake back up around 3:45 AM and hear someone trying to open my door. I just think oh drunk someone confused, thinks my room is theirs and my plan is just to ignore it. However, I role over to go back to bed and I can hear a very loud breathing noise coming from my door. My sleep stupored mind says to me..."what the heck is going on?". Finally, all the noise has stopped, I think finally I can get some sleep, but first I must use the toilet. Side note: I normally do not turn my light on to go to the bathroom. Thank God on this particular night I did turn the light on. I get up and walk to my door and I see a wet spot coming from under my door. "hmmm that is strange". I open my door to see an even bigger wet spot in front of my door and some liquid dripping off my door. Directly in front of said wet spot is pee boy passed out in front of my door. I quickly deduce that pee boy thought my room was the bathroom, meaning he was trying to open my door, when the attempts were unsuccessful he used my door as the toilet. So ladies and gentleman on Thursday night my door was urinated on! I immediately freak out. What am I supposed to do, there is actual human pee in my room (gag me now) and a passed out boy in the hall. I check to make sure pee boy is breathing and decide to leave him there hoping that my RA's will find him. I finally am able to go to sleep. First, thing in the morning I wake pee boy up and hand him some cleaner. The confused look on his face, led me to believe he did not remember the pee episode. I then explained and sent him to work cleaning up his accident. He used about half a bottle of cleaner, so I think I am probably safe. Think he felt bad and was way embarrassed, I think he deserves a little embarrassment as his punishment. Hopefully that taught him a lesson. Oh how I love living in the dorms...NOT! Well it is done and over, but I still can't look at my door with out imagining the pee being there!

This weekend was also my first tramp with the Alpine Club!!!!!!! I was so excited and nervous at the sametime for this. I am so proud I actually did it and it was absoulutely amazing. So the plan was to leave Saturday morning around 10:40. There were 5 of us going including me. So Saturday I woke up and my plan was to just hang out and get ready (pack) for the tramp. However, time escaped me and I realized I was running so late. So I rushed all around and thank god I had made a list of what to pack the night before. I threw it all in my pack, made some sandwhiches and attached my sleeping bad to my pack and was out the door. Running about 10 minutes late. The late part ended up not being a big deal though. I was originally going to have to drive and luckily JingJing had given me some driving lessons the night before (this should be a blog all on its own). However, much to my relief an Aussie girl was also going on the tramp and since they drive on the left side of the road in Aussie she volunteered to drive. So we all jammed in the tiny car with all of our gear and got some petrol and ice cream on the way out of Palmy. We got lost a few times on the way, but eventually we made it. To get to the car park for the trail you have to drive through lots of farmland and pastures with cows and sheep. This is not what you would consider a good road, thankfully with much abuse the little weighted down car actually made it. We had some lunch at the bottom and then we were off. It was the most beautiful picturesque place. Most of the trail was in like a rain foresty type place, shady and covered in moss. It started out wonderful, just you could definitely feel the weight of your pack. Then I kind of started hoping for some flat ground to walk on...about 30 mins in I realized, for the next 3 hours I will be walking up hill. For those Daley ranchers most of the incline was like the steep cement hill you first have to walk up. Inside I kind of started to panic, I was for sure the least fit person their. I thought I might cry haha! but that would be more embarassing than just giving up. I endured through it all, granted at the pace of a turtle, but eventually made it to the top!!!!!!!! It was all worth it, guess maybe like child birth you forget about the pain hehe! At the top it was pretty cold, but we bundled up and had some hot tea and quickly warmed up. Then we hiked maybe another 20 min up to this ridge, where it was so windy you had to crawl on your hand and knees to keep from being blown away. It was so amazing up there and you could see for miles. We went back to the hut and ate some diner. We had really good nachos that JingJing had brought. Then we met some friends and played phase 10 with them. No electricity in the hut, just added to the experience so we used our head lamps. I got tired early and around 11 we finally went to bed.
The next morning we woke early to to the sunrise, gorgeous. Then we had some breakfast and hiked up to another ridge about an hour and that was completely worth it. We sat at the top and enjoyed the wiew. Then we walked back to the hut and basked in the sun for awhile, had left over nachos for lunch then headed back down. I am definitely better at going down hill then up and for most of the time was actually in the lead. The trip up I was far from the lead :) but in the end it didn't matter. About the last 15 minutes my feet were killing me and it took all I could to get to the car.

I LOVED my first tramping trip!!!!!! and want to go again, need to hit the gym though. I don't want to be back at uni doing homework though, think I could have lived in my magical little sunrise hut world forever.
Sorry this is long and I don't feel like reading what I wrote, so I hope you can decipher it. teehee! Love Jane
