It was a chilly, overcast day when the horseman spied a little sparrow lying on its back in the middle of the road.  Reining in his mount, he looked down and inquired of the fragile creature,
"Why are you lying upside down like that?"
"I heard the heavens are going to fall today," replied the bird.
The horseman laughed.  "And I suppose your spindly legs can hold up the heavens?"
"One does what one can," said the little sparrow.

EMU Highlights: Adventures

One of my Worldview classes this semester involved a discussion about adventure, and I was inspired to make a list of my own adventures while at EMU.  Of course almost anything can be an adventure if you make it one, so the list could be much longer, but these are the ones that came to mind right away.

-Sleeping in Solidarity on the EMU hill (sometimes in near-freezing temperatures)
-Interrupting a Disney movie marathon to go dumpster diving in the hippie van before spring break
-Getting caught dumpster diving by four police cars
-camping at Byron & Deanna's farm over graduation weekend sophomore year (making popcorn over the fire, playing Truth, almost freezing during the night)
-Mountain Justice Spring Break (ecology tour, being part of a protest outside Bank of America)
-Camping at Byron & Deanna's farm again over grad weekend junior year (biking there and back, trying to cook a chicken over a fire)
-Being part of a make-it-up-ourselves triathlon with my family and some friends
-Bungee jumping in Western Cape
-Riding an ostrich in Oudtshoorn
-hiking & exploring in Lesotho (especially the waterfall hike)

There have been many more memorable moments, and there will be many more to come.  :)  What is your favorite adventure memory?
