05/30/2008 I have been playing soccer all winter and spring. I have been on some after school hikes with the group and I climbed the stairs at the U of L stadium. Also, I ran and biked around my neighborhood and the surrounding area.

05/30/2008 I expect this trip to be very challenging, but I am looking forward to it. I am excited to meet with the villagers and be on the mountain. I think it will be a life-changing experience.
