Nature

I was a Girl Scout for about three years.
Off and on.  
Which really isn't much.  

I sold more boxes of cookies than I earned badges.  I guess that is kind of something; considering most Americans look forward to GS cookies as much as they do Christmas or any sport championship*.
So in that respect - I did well!


Where I didn't do well was the whole nature part of being a GS.
Nature… yeah, it's just really not for me.

But lately I have been trying to "be one with nature" and all that garbage that people say to make being out amongst the trees and dirt and bugs sound nice and fun.  Yay!  Nature…

You will be hell pressed to get me out camping.  A tent.  On the ground.  With more bugs for tent-mates than humans is not anything I would rank high on my list of ever wanting to do.  

Not that hiking is high up on my list of things I want or like to do either, but I've been doing it.  I wouldn't go as far to say I've enjoyed it - but I've been out there trekking up hills, climbing down unstable rock slopes, and taking in the sights that over look Busan. 


It doesn't clear my mind or relax my body, but it works my legs and pumps my lungs.  And that part I do like.


Also, it's a good alternative to being worthless and hungover on the weekend (or in the case of this past weekend - gets you out and working off all the booze you consumed the previous night, but let me digress).  


Plus I get to spend a few hours with my bestie, Michael.  
So the pros and cons cancel out and it's an ok time!


*I do not get excited for sports.  Period.
