day 10!

 day 10, may 20th 2022

Today meg ciaran and I went for a long hike up to the bulkhead and then past it in search of the infamous balanced rock in proctors woods. We were hoping that if we found it we would be able to combine all our strength and push it over. I still think that if we had been able to find it, we would have found success. However, after following the sign from bulkhead that said BALANCED ROCK, somehow, we were unable to find it. We wandered around in the woods for awhile looking for it but found no success. The view from bulkhead was amazing after the fog cleared and we sat down to absorb it for awhile. We hiked back down after getting swarmed with bugs and made it back to campus slightly disappointed with our ability to navigate the proctor woodlands. After having a snack, I went to visit allie at highland lake where she was fishing for the day. I spent a little over an hour there and got back for a lacrosse commitment. 

Hours: 6

total hours: 44

Sunday reflection!

The first week of senior project had its challenges as well as its successes. In the first few hours of our first day we felt a huge surge of freedom that we needed to learn how to manage after being on a tight schedule for the past 4 years at Proctor. Although ecstatic to begin planning our trip and start adventuring, we were still at a loss for where to start. A huge reason that Meg and I decided to do this project was to gain independence and learn how to do something that would help us in real life so Annie helped us to settle into our project after those first few hours. Her experience with planning this sort of trip is very beneficial for us.  Our first hike was to the cabin where we got the first glimpse of what we would be doing for the next 2.5 weeks. It was amazing to get outside on a nice day and explore the woodlands behind Proctor. We biked to school one day and the distance that I drive each day really set in and I can appreciate the ability I have to drive to Proctor...

sunday reflection! #2

Week number two of senior project in the books and it has been a great way to close out my time at Proctor. It allows for more freedom while doing things I really enjoy. Meg and I indulged in a variety of activities this week that brought us outside and occasionally outside our comfort zones. For example, we golfed 9 extremely humbling holes this week. I went over the details in a past blog but let it be known that it was not my most athletic look! We also went for a couple more hikes and were able to go with friends which is nice when sometimes you need a third opinion on which trail leads where. This whole experience has benefited me in more ways than one and it has prepared me and Meg for our post graduation journey into reality. We have learned the value of sticking to a bit of a schedule when we have a lot of time on our hands but also being able to be ok with switching it around to fit our priorities the best. On our adventure to balanced rock after we went about a mile of track,...
