(BEDA #27--I forgot)

No excuses. I forgot to blog yesterday. BEDA fail. So I'll do one now, before practice, and one after practice. We have 2-a-day practices for rowing for these few days before school starts. I noticed how I said "we" there, even though I am writing this by myself. I think I do that with everything I am involved in, because I am always afraid to assume responsibility for anything, so I tag it as a group thing. But rowing is probably the most team-oriented sport I have ever been in. In order for a boat to function, every person has to be thinking the same, putting in all of their effort, going up the slide at the same rate, having the same handle heights. And just because we spend so much time around each other, we are a very close team.

Tonight my friends and I are going to make tortilla soup. Emily got me a cookbook for my birthday called "College Cooking", so we are going to try a lot of recipes from that, and probably have some fun cooking adventures/mishaps, and hopefully some great food will come of it. I am usually too lazy to cook, and when my mom is around I am usually very stubborn about not trying certain foods, but I have been trying more new things in the past year or so. I will write about how that soup turns out in my post later today.

Today I made some flyers for swing dancing, and I bought some food so I actually have something to eat other than cheese and pickles. So, I will be back later!
