Now Berea has hiking trails, mind you, but they don't even hold a candle to the ones we ventured on today. There were a few times on the way up in which i thought I was going to pass out; I really had to exert more than I ever had before. It was pretty darn intense. There were actually 3 smaller hills we stopped to look at before we reached the very top one, which was absolutely gorgeous! One thing I should mention though as we climbed up farther it got really really cold!!!!! Once we reached the top, I would say it was probably in the low 50's high 40's. It didn't help that the wind was blowing too, which made it colder! The group of us sat at the top for a while to catch our breath and chill, but then we began the climb back down. Rough on the knees, let me tell you. But that wasn't even the best part.
I was hiking down by myself and then to my left I saw a white figure. I first thought it was a trash bag or something that someone left behind. Then, it moved. It was a sheep! I stood and stared at it for about 30 seconds, but it continued eating and minding its own business. But once it heard me mention to other hikers that there was a sheep, it looked up and stared at me. Didn't move or anything, just stared. It was a bit creepy, so I walked away. A few seconds later, two girls behind me start running. The sheep was chasing them! I ran for a minute or so down the hill, but when we looked back the sheep was gone. We all just felt sorry for the people behind us, because then they would have had to deal with the pissed off sheep. It was funny. I don't care if you think it's funny or not, but I thought it was. I thought to myself, just when you thought you've seen it all, two group members get chased by a freaking sheep.
Today is Friday, which also means it's the weekend!!! I don't have any plans until Sunday, so I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. Reel from today, sleep in, finish my book for class on Monday, and hope that it stops raining. Thanks to all who read this! Cheers!
