Small worded blog so B codes can decode

I have decided to write this blog as if it were any other, and in English so that Brian Cody can understand it. I am trying my hardest to refuse to believe that this could be my last blog.

Today’s mission was the sickest yet, by far. Adirondack Extreme Adventure Course gave us the challenge of the season in my opinion. Suited up in harnesses, Alyssa Jon and I individually raced over bridges and zip lines, making sure to always have a carabineer attached to some sort of safety cable and essentially battling for the lowest time to determine who would win immunity. The wooden platforms were slick from rain as upstate New York flaunted her aesthetics. Abstinence Adam and Dorm Room mom Lisa teamed up with The Morning Rush to try and peg us with water balloons. I felt confident going through the course, and everyone told me I had Alyssa outpaced, but I guess I got hung up at the end and lost some valuable time. I thought the most difficult part was trying not to get a safety DQ resulting in a thirty second penalty – so staying focused on that may have caused me some time too. I can’t wait to see the video on youtube. So props to Alyssa for winning this one (I think she is subconsciously initiating a feminist movement in the Capital Region), she is a competitor.

There are some crazy nerves about tomorrow’s vote-off. Jon seems fairly confident that he’s leaving, but I’m not sure who Alyssa thinks she can beat in the final 2. Obviously Jon and I have to vote for one another, everything really depends on Alyssa’s vote, but also, more crucially, the Listener’s Vote. That was when things really sank in – when Baby Bear made me say on air for everyone to text in to vote Jon off. I didn’t like that feeling, and for a fleeting moment re-considered any notions I may have ever had to become a lobbyist. Anyways, it’s pretty difficult to gage what the Capital Region thinks of me, my efforts here at LSS and also my reasoning on why I deserve to win. All I can do is hope. D-Cross and Neuby were showin some love again today, which I appreciated. And I also got to see some friends I haven’t seen in a while. I have no idea what sort of circumstance would bring them to Clifton Park, if they had been following LSS or anything. But it was interesting nonetheless, and it inspired me to resolve that if I do make it into the Final 2, once I’m in here I should deeply consider everyone I’ve ever brushed shoulders with. There are a lot of people who have helped me out – some in more obvious ways than others. I’m not sure if I’ve always shown my appreciation, so I was thinking I could write up some thank you letters. (Bearing in mind I would probably do the same if I wasn’t in the Final 2 – but just so that I had something to occupy my time). Anyways. I’m not even really quite sure what else to write for now.

My parents are in Vermont* for a couple of days with my dad’s side of the family – I hope everything’s going well for them. I’m aiming at writing again tomorrow night.
