Yesterday
when I came in to work I knew it’d be a pretty slow day. By the time I headed
to the EDR for my dinner break, there was only about thirty more check-ins we
were expecting for the rest of the night, which is much fewer than usual. At
about 7:30 Jen and Christopher said that one of us could leave, and James and
Maggie both said it could be me. I’d met Jesse, Nate and Cristina at dinner,
and they said they’d probably go the Whistle Pig later. When I got off I
quickly changed out of my uniform and went over to meet them. We didn’t stay
too long- Nate had some friends visiting that were staying up in Colter Bay
that he wanted to go see- but it was still fun. Cristina, Jesse and I walked
back to dorm two together, then met up on the back porch again. We lit up the
tiki torches that we put out there and relaxed, enjoying the nice evening.
After sitting out there for a while, Tanner came out to join us. He’s now
joining us for karaoke in Jackson tomorrow night, so it’ll be five people (me,
Cristina, Nate, Elliot, and Tanner). It should be a really fun night.
At about
10:30 Cristina went inside to go to bed. By that time I’d grabbed a pillow and
blanket off of my bed and was lying on top of the picnic table. Tanner stayed
out there until about eleven, when he went back to his room. I stayed out
there, lying on the picnic table with the pillow and blanket from my bed,
staring up at the stars, until almost midnight. You can see way more stars out
here than back in SA, and that combined with the sliver moon that was out made
for a really beautiful night, even though it was cold. The temperature
definitely drops pretty quickly here once the sun goes behind the mountain.
Cristina and I usually don’t have the heater on in our room during the day, but
we still turn it on once the sun goes down. Eventually the warmth of our room
was too tempting to resist, and I blew out the tiki torches and went to bed.
I just got
back from having lunch at the EDR with Nate, Cristina, and Brian (the bell
captain). The three of them are thinking of doing something together later this
afternoon. I go into work at three again today, but I’m off tomorrow and
Thursday. Nate’s also off tomorrow, so we’re planning on hanging out together
during the day, then meeting up with everyone else in the evening to head into
Jackson. Depending on the weather (it’s pretty cold and cloudy today) we might
go for a hike, or maybe find something else to do. Thursday is the trip up to
Yellowstone that Shane set up. Tanner said he has Thursday off as well, and
when I told him about the trip he said he’d probably sign up for it too. Looks
like I’ve got another full, fun weekend in the near future.
