the mountains

The mountains here are really beautiful, and the entire western skyline is consumed by them. Our cafeteria has huge windows all along the west side, so you can see the mountains when you eat, which are especially beautiful at breakfast which is around sunrise.
Last night I went for a run for the first time, to test out how my lungs were taking the altitude. They aren't taking it. It was pretty painful, but I got through it. Then after dinner there was a big soccer game with a lot of corps members and team leaders, which was really fun. I went to bed last night at the latest time so far...about 10:30pm.
This morning we had boot issue and I got a HUGE pair of steel toed black boots...an item I never thought I would own. They're pretty heavy and big and I am not personally looking forward to wearing them although a lot of people on my team were very excited. After boot issue we went to Aurora for physicals where I found out that I am negative for both pregnancy and drugs and that I can see and hear and don't have TB. Now we have a break until one when we have another training session. Today the weather is nice, it's about 65 degrees, but there is supposed to be a cold front coming in this weekend and it might snow. My roommate who is from Georgia and has only seen snow twice in her life (once when she was 3) looking forward to it. I am not : )
