The title of this entry is not a line from an action movie*, but damn, it should be.

* as far as I know...

So, the first week of August, my family went on a Fantastique Bike Trip up Lake Champlain and into Canada. It was amazing. Biking through the Adirondacks was a tiny bit less amazing, if only because biking up and down mountains is tough. While we were biking, one family member would always be driving the van. ... and would be constantly on the lookout for bread.



I finished The Sun Also Rises and The Awakening, and I must now muscle my way through East of Eden.



I have many more tales to tell, so I'll post again sometime when I'm ready to talk with my words and not with my AppleWorks Paint skills.

I do have the photos from the past two days, and I'll post them with today's in the evening (probably).

Anyway, here is a comic from a few days ago. The adventures of babysitting/explaining what Nutella is to a four-year-old:



Second term is almost over, which means the first semester is almost done, which, for me, means... nothing. ._. None of my classes are changing. Unless! I can work it out with guidance so that I don't have to take gym again.* Mr. C thinks it's stupid, I think it's stupid, and even guidance thinks that, conceptually, it's stupid. So, hopefully, it will work out.

* I wouldn't be taking it again because I failed it. I would be taking it again because I didn't take gym at all last year, and we need four semesters worth of gym to graduate. It's complicated and silly.
