So camping was actually fun even though it rained a lot and the ground is much harder than I imagined :) My hip is so sore from sleeping on the ground and my butt hurts from sitting on picnic benches and lawn chairs! We ended up buying our own tent, rather than borrowing Jacob's parents - not that they wouldn't have let us use theirs, but this way we can go more often and everything. Over all I didn't mind 'roughing it' and I think it'd be a lot of fun to go with a big group of friends sometime - anyone else like camping & have stuff to camp with?

The only bad part was that Saturday morning we woke up to little drips of water leaking through the rainfly (the part that is supposed to keep the rain out!)! Jacob went to Wal-Mart at like 7 that morning and bought a tarp and put it over the tent and we didn't have any leak problems after that. We took the tent back today; though, and we're going to go get a better one from a better place! It was just super muddy and sucked being stuck in the tent while it rained, but I did get quite a bit of reading done! :)

I came back to find a rejection letter from a job I applied for - wonderful! Oh well - job hunting SUCKS and by the time I find one it'll be time to start student teaching anyways!
