Thoughts of a Sprite

Sorry guys~

Hey everybody, I am sorry I have been neglecting the blogsphere... With no computer in the woods, and then classes started the day after I got back - it has just been wow busy! Summer A classes move really fast, I have two tests already this week....

Camping and kayaking was wonderful. We saw tons, I mean TONS of wild life. We hiked, and kayaked the first day, but only for about 2 hours, and saw 13 gators, two really big ones! Then the next day we kayaked about 8 miles and saw exactly 50 alligators! that is Fifty... a huge wild boar, birds like crazy spoon bills that were pink, great herrons, and this one that looked like a pinguin, but had legs... lol! The next day we kayaked up river, walked up through some rapids.... about 4-5 miles, it was so quiet, none of the canoes could get up there because of the rapids, and all civilization just ended. It was just us and the river! Man it was great, and so were the class 2 rapids on the way back down.

Me next to some of the rapids we handled... big rocks!
I had bruises from walking up them, but none from coming back down~

The pinguin bird

The really big gators! I would say a 10 footer at least and a 7 foot female next to him~

Oh I forgot my digital camera, so the pics are kinda fuzzy but what can you expect from disposables? better than nothing I guess.

I am really enjoying being a full time student! I go to class, and come home and get tons of homework done. I did not manage to clep out of spanish two, so yall get to deal with learning more espanol with me next semester! LOL hope you don't mind!

Lets see, since I last updated my baby cousin (I guess 19 is not really a baby) graduated, and we had a party for him, rode horses, shot skeet... the usual with that crowd! I loved every minute of it!

We are going riding this Saturday, Tessa and I are trailering her horses (one of which is the one she is giving me when she moves) out to Fred's and we are going trail riding with them.

well it is late and I have class early, but I did not want to at least drop in and say hello. I will try to get online tomorrow and check blogs and update a bit more. I miss you guys! I can't wait to read everything that has been happening...
