MEA in Duluth

See, I told you I'd talk about something other than Benat! So first let me explain what MEA is. MEA is Minnesota Education Association. Which means that teachers throughout Minnesota get together and do whatever, but most importantly it means a four day weekend for students! For MEA I went to Duluth with Upward Bound to visit colleges. Us upperclassmen took vans and the underclassmen took a bus. Why separate us? Because us older kids were spending the night in Duluth and the younger kids were not. But ya, so we went to Duluth and had a good time and also learned that maybe I will attend college in Minnesota after all! Thursday: Woke up early and headed to ICC to hop into a van and head towards Duluth! I sat next to Bailey who sat next to Wyatt. The three of us were in front of Kaitlin, Tim, and Jade who were in front of Hannah, Shawn and Jake (yes, the ex-boyfriend Jake). Sitting shot gun was Hallie and Julie was driving. It was a good ride though as usual I fell asleep. I don...

Boys are confusing

Sorry, but I'm going to talk about Benat again. What can I say, I'm a teenage girl. Talking about boys is what I do, so just deal. Okay, so the Wednesday following the Sunday of the whole "let's-be-friends" thing Benat and I went biking around town. At one point we wound up at the show boat landing, where we found this beautiful fall tree that we just had to climb. The brunches were high up so I took his bike and used it to get up the tree, while he just monkey'd up it. I mean, he just flew up that tree (lie, it took a couple tries and then he flew up it). We finished climbing and he swings down, once again, like a monkey. As I'm up there going "Uhhh....I think I can't get down." Don't judge me! It was quite a drop, I have an injured knee, and we had a meet the next day! What's his solution? He puts his arms up and goes "I got this" expecting me to jump. Into his arms. From the tree. My response to such a preposterous thi...

I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND

This is a long one. I need input. Also writing this on metaphorical paper might help me think things through. So once again, there's a boy. Which makes it sound like there have been a lot of boys but there really hasn't been....anyways... There's this boy. He's like perfect. He runs, he skis, he enjoys long hikes through the mountains, he somewhat bikes, astrophysics is a hobby of his, he enjoys laying out and looking at the stars, etc. etc. He's like the male version of me, but taller, and stronger, and not awkward, and attractive. I mean seriously he even watched the Steven Hawkins videos on Netflix, which I also watched and led to an interesting conversation. But I'm getting ahead of myself... Let's start from the beginning. So the first time I met him was at a cross country meet (the Little Falls meet, it was his first).Autumn, Sara and I were trying to do homework a little ways away from the rest of the team (and everyone else), but Will and Hans ke...
