One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once made Disney princess replicas of Belle, Ariel, Rapunzel, and Pocahontus using only hot dogs, a piece of lettuce, ketchup, mustard, slices of cheese, five spaghetti strings, and a few scraps of onions. A true work of art.

Another time I did four hikes in three days during exam week, one of which was a sunrise hike and another a sunset hike. Weekend well spent (not in the library).
