Well it's been a pretty bummer month. But, can't fly high 12 months out of the year I suppose. Regardless, I'm still healthy and happy generally and always have a lot to be grateful for. I have spent half of this month in a Wilderness First Responder course, a 9 day course that I first did in 2017. I unfortunately let my certification lapse, so I had to spend a lot of money and precious time to complete this entire course once again. If you peek into the blog archives from June 2017, you can see my writeup from the first time I did this course. It was a great review, I'm thankful for continued education and have been making a conscious effort to not complain too much about something that was entirely my fault. After the WFR course, I returned to Table Rock base camp and worked a short 5 day course as the Course Director. This is a relatively new role for me, and certainly a role with a lot of responsibility and impact. As Course Director, I am the administrative point person for a course, as well as a mentor to instructors, supporter of logistics, and on-call person on base. Course Directors wear a lot of hats, but the one hat that I particularly enjoy is the logistical one, as this is a strength of mine. I have enjoyed the Course Directing very much. The first course went well, and I'm currently in planning days for one more short course. After this one, I won't CD again until July when I CD a 22 day! Other than the WFR course and CD'ing, my April has consisted of chilling on the porch with my friends, as well as some very casual climbing. It is nice to finally be stable and building routines. Well, some months I'm soaring above the clouds and some months I feel more mortal than ever. April has been hard hitting in a number of ways, and that's probably a good thing for my personal development as an adult. Year 6 at Outward Bound is feeling good. I appreciate my role in the community and the opportunities that I have to contribute to impactful programming and living for students and staff alike. Thankful for my friends and cardiovascular capacity. That's the update for April!
