Bottled Sky

My PE class went rowing in the Marikina River last Wednesday. It was my first time to row, and I had a lot of fun! Sure, we were directly under the blazing heat of the tropical sun for three hours straight (thank God for sunblock). Sure, while rowing we were constantly sprayed with water from the river, which played host to an impressive array of garbage and small, dead animals (I actually saw a floating rat in the murky brown soup). Sure, we could barely move our arms by the end of the activity (my arms and my shoulders stopped hurting only today). And sure, the place didn’t have a bathroom where we could shower afterwards (good thing I brought rubbing alcohol). Despite all that, I really did have fun! I’m definitely glad I got to try it. Sun exposure, bacteria, and strenuous activity never hurt anyone. Hmmm… Well, I guess they actually could and probably did. Whatever. It was still fun

In other news, the semester is ending and hell week is upon me. I have 4 papers, 4 final exams, a final photo critique, and a report scheduled for the next 2 weeks. Wish me luck, and pray for my survival!
