So it turns out that this is going to be more feasible than I thought. It’s official: this summer, directly after graduation, I will be biking from Providence to Seattle to raise awareness for affordable housing! I cannot wait. Now I just have to raise $4,000 by June and (the more difficult goal) start training like mad!

Yesterday I went parasailing on Lake Tahoe! I had no idea what to expect, but it wasn’t scary at all Once you start floating up into the air, it feels completely still and quiet – like you’re barely moving at all, just drifting weightless above the water. Katie and I were up there for about 15 minutes before they dipped us in the water then reeled us back in. Altogether an incredible ride – I’d definitely do it again sometime, given the chance!
