First off, Cindy's tube was missing the cap so it wouldn't keep the air in it. Easy fix, we put me and her on one tube with Clay on his own.
Wrong. Me and Cindy were struggling to maneuver our tube from the second we jumped on. We managed our way away from some trees to shortly find ourselves headed for rocks. We put our feet out and pushed off of those only to find ourselves in the swiftest and strongest of currents headed for the skinniest part of the bridge. We're screaming and freaking out and the next thing we know we're hitting the bridge and I'm sucking in a lungful of water. I surface and start grabbing all of our belongings that I can while Cindy is holding onto the popped tube.
We're hitting rocks and bumping along the river as we're carried downriver and all we're trying to do is get to the side and not drown. Probably one of the scariest moments of my life, but funniest experiences too.
After like a few minutes of scraping up our legs we come to a stop and figure out all that we've lost. We were both in one piece and Clay was just really concerned that we were okay. This seriously happened 30 seconds into our float. So the trip lasted less than 5 minutes. It's fine. We walked our way back to the truck and hopped in. Clay gave his cousin a call and we went to their community pool. It was really nice to just chill and not worry about anything although I definitely felt like some hobo with only one flip flop. So that was my minor catastrophe but I enjoy telling the story now.

Now, a midst all this crazy and fun times with Clay and Cindy and Johnny. I had major drama going on at home. My parents were wanting me to be home at midnight, and I think that is ridiculous. So I wasn't following it. I would get home around 1 or 1:30. Finally after the rodeo day I believe, my mom was waiting up and we had this huge blowup outside our house. What it came down to was basically if you live in this house you follow my rules and if you don't follow the rules then you move out. So I was ready to move out and was just fine with that. It was a week before I headed back to Cedar so I wasn't too concerned. Cindy and Johnny have an extra room and I'm always more than welcome to use it. Anyway, the next morning my mom felt way bad so she let me stay til I moved. Needless to say, I haven't talked to my mom since I moved.... I feel bad, but at the same time I'm really serious about never going home. I'm not going to follow the midnight curfew and I'm going to hangout with whomever I please. So now I'm moved to Cedar and where I'll be next summer no one knows!
Well Everyone, I think that is my life caught up. I sit in a classroom for 8 hours a day currently learning about different protocols and stuff about the university. Oh and I have a small crush on a gay man. Is that a bad thing?
Everyone, I love you much and can't wait to see everyone in the next couple weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!
