Work was fine. The chair-to-be found me and anxiously asked if I'm planning to teach again next year. I am! They are very happy to have me and I'm very happy to have this job. I do think that another section for a semester would be a good idea to get some of the backlog through so that students are taking it at a better point in their curriculum, but finding someone could be hard.
Isaac had the first of two days of rock climbing trials tonight. That being said, today really was optional for him. It was an open trial meant especially for new and younger athletes. However, most of the older athletes were there too...they're all just so excited to get started and think, "Team! Climb! Let's go!!"
I climbed for the first half hour. I had a very nice time. This is probably one of the first times I've climbed by myself - usually Isaac or Joshua is also climbing and it changes things. Anyway, my plan was to not even look at the bouldering wall. I was just going to do the auto-belays. I like belays the best, but I also figured there would be a ton of kids that were climbing on the bouldering walls. Anyway, I finished the blue route! I've been working on it for a few days and the holds are skinny. There is still some hold to grab on to, but they aren't great jugs. Several times I've been one hold from the top and have just run out of steam. I tried it several times today, not quite getting there. Then I took a longer break, chatting with another mom, and tried it one more time. I got it! It was a great way to end. Oh, the level is a 5.9. I can do 5.9 routes, but it usually takes some work before I get them. There is also a 5.10- that I've made some progress on, but they do get harder.
I still had some chores when I got home. They were important and I was still going so they weren't too bad to do, but I am now tired. Good thing it's time for bed!
