Another fancy dress

I've had an amazing semester. I've met so many new people, worked really hard and accomplished a lot. BUT...it has come to be tradition that with everything in my life comes a new injury. I don't say this for any sympathy, it's actually become a very comedic part of my life. I'm a constant accident just looking for new places to happen. That is where this story begins.

Stephen (my wonderful coworker) decided to introduce me to the rock wall. It was love at first climb. Tuesday, I took to the wall like a champ, no problem. Not so lucky Wednesday. I met up with Connor Chappell to do a climb or two. There was one route that took him like 4 tries to finally finish...so me being the smart-allick I am decided that I had to try to finish it first try. I was doing so good (or at least I thought so!), got past the first hard part and everything then....bleck (best word to describe the sound/feeling, all the normal ones just didn't work)...remember that lovely shoulder that gave me trouble last spring that I had surgery to fix? Yeah well, re-dislocation halfway up the rock wall seems to fall into my norm. They slowly let me down, Connor helped me untie my harness thing (I think he was freaking out more than I was), I walked over to the rail and got it back into place. So, my Saturday plans about going to see my teams track meet suddenly got cancelled...leading to the happy ending of the story Connor asked me to his formal that Saturday. I obviously agreed under the one condition that he didn't try any fancy swing moves involving my left arm.

Fast Forward to Saturday: I did Habitat for Humanity all morning until about 3pm, then went to the boys Slip & Slide party where I found out about dinner plans. I abruptly went home to clean up the house and get ready...which clearly I couldn't do on my own so I went over to the lovely Caitlin's house. We got ready and I pulled back into my driveway about 1.7 minutes before Connor knocked on my door. We went to dinner at Casa Ramos, so good!

Went to Dj's house, that was a lot of fun, I got to take over driving duties after that as we headed to the dance. The dance was so ridiculously fun. Connor was definitely a fantastic date. Plus there was a chocolate fountain and a completely mirrored back wall that was extremely entertaining. After the dance we all hung out at Danny's for a bit. Dear shoulder, you still really suck, but you did assist in making for a great night.
