I had trouble sleeping last night. On top of how cold it was, i was feeling pretty lonely in my tent all by myself. I've had some trouble making friends, and I feel like i dont fit in here. I called my dad and that made me feel a lot better. I also texted a few people back home which really helped. I promised myself today would be better.
It wasnt much. The weather was a lot better, I'll give it that, but I still have that whole not fitting in very well thing going on. I woke up at 6:30, and met matt for breakfast. We were going to go to this harrassment seminar, but when we got to the PTC (where i work & where the seminar was being held) I saw my supervisors loading a bus with a bunch of people. I went to talk to one, and apperantly my group was all going on a day hike, and when i checked in, they forgot to tell me. So to make up for it, they had me cleaning and doing chores until 11:30 with some high school girls.
Luckily, matt showed up when i was going through the tents to check if light bulbs worked, and he was able to make time go by so much quicker. We had lunch together & hung out for a bit. I went back to my tent for a couple hours while he took a nap. Now i'm in the staff center at base camp & matt is at a meeting for his Dan Beard group.
Its getting to be hard to break out of my shell, since it seems like a lot of people already know eachother, and i don't feel like i have too much in common with that many people here.
I'm not gonna give up hope quite yet though, I've heard too many good things about this place to give up on it this quickly

Happy Trails,
Kim
