Summary : I enjoyed today. Okay, so I've been coming up with random, like big words randomly, and I write them down in my notes, so I want to share them here. Today I came up with erotic and incessant. Those are good words right? I mean I won't use them buttt they're good words. I would have to say defenestration is one of my all time favs though.
But today was soooo longggggggg, at least school was. It took forever to get through it, but I was super productive which is always enjoyable. Ooh! In chemistry this morning, we got to oxidize magnesium metal! It was awesome cause we got to see why it's used in fireworks to make white ones! (It was in a crucible with lid but our teacher came around and blew on them with the lid held higher off it so we could see the light without directly looking at it) it was pretty epic! Also in APHuG, the friend I broke off with like a week ago, M, she is s o annoyinggggg. She like is super dramatic/emphatic and just eugh, it's weird and annoying cause she always finds a way to focus the conversation on her... which it is funny cause I'll be listening to a conversation they'll be having and like add a comment, and as soon as I open my mouth, she has stopped talking and no matter what I say, she just doesn't keep talking... I find it hilarious, I promise I don't abuse it. It's just amusing from a distance. Otherwise school was excessively long.
Then I came home, finished up my lab report early, which felt good, then got to go climb where my high school team practices. E came to join me too! We kinda warmed up then tried a whole bunch of boulders for a while. Did one round of arc training on ropes cause... welll.... That's a story... one sec and I'll tell it. Then we toprope climbed for a while too. It was awesomeeee! It's so awesome just hanging out with her! Also I love the letters she wrote for me for my bday. Todays was amazing.
Okay now the story about arc training. So at my home gym, where my actual team practices, on each autobelay there's typically a 5.6 (basically a ladder with tons of jugs and stuff), a 5.9-10b, a 5.10d-11a, and a 5.11b-12a. So when doing arcs you go up a harder one and always climb down the easiest one, right? But at this gym... they didn't have any remotely easy climbs. I mean they were easy, just not like good rest climbs. So I climbed up a 5.10+, down a 5.9, and then up and down the 5.9 cause I fell the next time trying to get up the 10. But yeah it was very demoralizing. And when we had finished and I got to the bottom, i looked at my hands and guess what? They were bleeding!!!! I had a spot on my finger!!! It's an accomplishment of a climber to bleed through!!! WOOOOO!!!! Im soo happyyyy!!! But it hurt really bad. It's alright though, it will heal, it always does. Then, cause of that and the straight up torture of the arc on those walls, we decided to call it. And so we just kinda climbed other top ropes. I failed miserably. But it was fun! But yeah, I took some pics of my hands to document this day! Here they are:

But yeah, I put some medicine on it to help it heal but yeah, that's always fun. I do feel accomplished though! But that was basically my day. Really long school day but tons of fun climbing!
