Weekly Links

I have stumbled upon quiet a collection of random articles over the past few days so I thought I would take the time to share:

Here is yet another study done regarding BPA. I do not understand why this toxic chemical still continues to be legally manufactured.

I hate Proctor and Gamble but I am intrigued by their latest pledges.

Is college really a good investment? Or is it just four years of waste? I think I will have to blog more on this later.

Washing your face with oil? It sounds kind of crazy and possibly disastrous be this Instructable seems pretty legit. I am thinking about trying it.

More later,

On Break

I am on break for a few days from camp. The first session was tiring but I lived. Thankfully I am also going to be able to work an extended session. I am pretty happy about it. I need the money and I can always use the job experience. The cabin above has been and will continue to be my home for the next month. Like the prayer flags? I finished them about a week before I left.

Being in the mountains away from my cell phone and internet can be a huge blessing. I have to really focus on who I am and what I am doing here in the real world instead of focusing so much on the virtual world. I love being in the outdoors and I really love having the downtime. College for nine months can be so draining and so I love to retreat to this place and recharge.

I am happy to return to my parents house for a while and check up on my dad and I's latest project. Before I left a few weeks ago, we started a home brew! Now I will throw out there that I know very little about making beer but I have pretty much decided that I would love to be a brewer as a job. What you see here is called a carboy and it holds the mostly fermented beer.Next we are going to move into the bottling phase. This is about five gallons of beer!! Omg I am so excited to taste it! Part of this has been somewhat of a discovery of my German heritage. I never liked beer until this winter when one of my freinds introduced me to good beer. Now I am a very picky beer drinker. I like micro brews that are mainly stouts and porters. If it is the color of coffee than I much prefer it to light beers. Anyway, as you can tell, this beer is defiantly falling into the coffee category.

Hopefully I can check in once more before I return to the mountains.

Camp

Due to sketchy (and slow) interwebs I have been unable to post or read or do anything bloggy. So I am sorry my faithful readers but I am afraid that I am going to have take a tiny break for the next few weeks. I is sorry. :(

See you after camp.
