Jump and Throw

This hilarious experience came a couple months ago before we were all in quarantine. I was back in Colorado for the last couple days of Spring Break, and we had a get together at one of my high school friend's house. There was quite a few of us because a lot of the guys were also back for the last few days of break. Anyway, one of my friends (we call him Q) had a little too much beer to drink and was feeling a little nauseous. By nauseous, I mean Q was laying on his stomach on my friends trampoline with his head over the side. He hadn't thrown up yet, but he was making some strange groaning sounds. One of my other friends (we call him Biz) was completely oblivious of the situation and didn't know how Q was feeling, so he started jumping on the trampoline. Q was getting tossed around from the jumping, and the gyration was all Q's body needed to start throwing up. He started throwing up off the side of the trampoline while my friends and I tackled Biz and made him stop jumping. This sent us all laughing hysterically at Q's expense. We had never seen someone throw up in mid air.

However, that's not where the story ends. Q finally finished throwing up and stands up on the trampoline. He was dizzy, confused, definitely not sober, and looked like he didn't even know where he was. He was walking to get off the trampoline when Biz gets back on the trampoline and starts jumping again. Biz double jumped right at Q's feet which sent him flying off the trampoline and into a tree. The trampoline is surrounded by trees on the side Q fell off, so he got stuck about half way up in a tree. He had throw up all over himself and was now tangled in a tree. Again, it was incredibly hilarious to us, not so much for Q.

Amidst our laughter, we were able to climb the tree and help Q down. He ended up being okay and was even able to laugh at the situation a little bit. This was one of the funniest occurrences I have ever been apart of, and to my knowledge, Q has not jumped on a trampoline since the incident.

Training is key

This is another blog about a learning experience I had on my bike ride last summer. The bike ride is demanding and tough on the human body given that you ride on average 75 miles a day. That average is a little misleading considering some days you ride up to 125 miles a day with over 10,000 feet of elevation gain. The ride started on June 1st, but the sign up date was at least 6 months earlier. Some guys even signed up a year in advance. That being said, we all had 6 months to a year to train for this demanding task. The Ability Experience even hired professional trainers to help us get ready for the journey. They set up different exercises for us to do and held webinars every Sunday. These exercises varied from riding 15 miles on an indoor bike to doing 3 sets of 15 squats on a squat rack. We even had to track our workouts through an app. We would have to go on the app start our workout, record our heart rate, calories burned, then stop the workout when we were finished. If we didn...

The Limerick

I learned how to write a limerick last class, and I really enjoyed it. Here is one I made: We all have to hop on zoom We wish we were just in the room School is winding down Yet nobody wears a frown We hope this isn't our doom Her are some of my favorites I found online: There was a small boy from Quebec Who was buried in snow to his neck When they said, 'Are you friz?' He Replied, 'Yes, I is- But we don't call this cold in Quebec God's plan made a hopeful beginning But man Spoiled his chances by sinning We trust that the story Will end in God's glory But at present the other side's winning I found these entertaining, and I have even found myself looking for limericks in songs that I listen to. This was a fun activity and it was even cool to use the zoom capabilities to break off into small groups.

Take COVID seriously

Arguably, I think the most important thing I've learned the last couple months is to take COVID 19 seriously. At the start of the quarantine, a lot of younger people thought they were invincible and were still hanging out with each other. By doing this, they were endangering their own lives and the lives of the older generation. I am thankful I headed the warnings of my parents and social distanced when I was recommended to do so. I would never forgive myself if I ended up coming home with the virus and gave it to one of my family members. I obviously spent a lot of time with my family since I went to class online, so I tried to do my part in keeping us safe and healthy. I think even just learning to wash my hands correctly went along way in taking COVID seriously. Previously, I would go out to the store or some other public location and come back without even washing my hands. If you do that now, you might have the virus on your hands and you could infect yourself or someone els...
