Well, here it is, Labor Day. It's quite uneventful now when I think about it. It's a heavy thunderstorm here in Provo, Utah, and I spend my time inside. Reading chapter 1 of my textbooks and enjoying some time indoors is an interesting alternative. I mostly spend my time here with some sunburn, and seeing some comedy sketches to distract myself from how it feels.
However, aside from the sunburn, the trip last Saturday was a great experience for myself to go on. I got to take a fourteen-mile round trip hike to the very top of Mount Timpanogos, Utah, and got to find the thrill of feeling at the top of the world for once. Sitting up there felt great, and the view was unforgettable of the glacier, the rivers, and the canyons from that point at the top, over 11,000 feet above sea level. It felt great above all, just to see the world from atop the mountain as if it were some amazing handiwork, or sketch in the earth.
Despite the sunburn from this trip, however, I really want to interpret this trip as being a sign that over all of this time I have remaining here at college, times are really going to get better, and will progress. I know that after this storm's over, the storms will cease, and the Sun will once again rise. I will resume class again as tommorrow dawns, and today will be the start of yet another great year as I walk into class, beginning another year, and another great period of time, with this time as a landmark to it.
