I just remembered to post on my blog. Breaking and moving thousands of pounds of concrete and brick for 8 hours a day tends to take the mind away from a trivial matter like blog-posting. It is really only for the inevitable students that plan on sitting on their a$$ for all of endersession. I am required to be at my job at 7am, which requires me to make the absolute most of my afternoon to get good enough sleep. My prospective job turned to be a great option for endersession. I am working in construction for most of the time allotted. So far on the current job site, we are in a demolition stage (beginning stage) of a complete front yard renovation. As depicted, we had to first electric chisel the brick from the concrete. Then, with a construction grade, air powered pneumatic jack hammer we broke up the massive amounts of concrete that laid underneath and hand transported the massive chunks to smaller bits to the dump trailer. Due to common privacy, I will not share photos of the beautiful backyard that was finished pre-demolition of the front yard. I am making good money in between my responsibilities, and I have gotten two other job offers to work in another field of construction because of my history with construction as a whole that I will likely pursue soon. I am not sure how frequent my blog posts should be since I am not traveling, but I would say one a week is appropriate. I do not have time to post every day.

For the first week of endersession, like it said on the many documents I turned in stating what I would be doing, I drove out to Mammoth Lakes, California with Phillippe de Kervor. We explored different areas and enjoyed snowboarding and skiing while we were there. We cooked our own food and got connected with nature. The cell service was not adequate for either of us (both on the same network carrier) to log into weebly and make a post. The first day was mostly getting there. I had made all preparations the day before, as I usually do for any trip. We arrived at the mountain at around 11am. After parking and getting our boots on, we hit the mountain for a half day of skiing. After that, we got checked into where we were staying at. This is where we realized our cell service did not work.
The second day was a full day of skiing. We got to the mountain early as to be already on the mountain when the snow was optimal. The third day was similar, got as many runs as possible in. We then ventured to Hot Creek, what used to be a popular hot spring destination is now unreasonably deemed too dangerous. We spent more of the day venturing the surrounding areas. We left for San Diego around noon on the last day. |
