I didn’t write anything during Hannah’s first week of class so the actual details are a little fuzzy. There was nothing for me to actually accomplish so I just sat around and obsessed over finishing the trip. I cleaned and reorganized our gear, got food together and played around the house. I remember sitting at the Keweenaw Brewing Company and talking to friends a lot. We dealt with the business of getting a new cell phone package. I can say I am proud to join the ranks of iPhone users. It should help us be more prompt about getting our journals online. I started to arrange my work schedule for the fall and just generally enjoyed being off of the lake. The anticipation of being finished was almost too much to handle. It was really weird sitting around the house while there were still 100 miles separating me and my goal. Physically I felt finished. I had all the comforts of home, friends, food and a comfy bed. But mentally I was still on the lake. I needed to be finished. I both couldn’t wait for the week to end and never wanted it to be over. It was a weird dichotomy. But as Friday neared my mind state fell into place and I wanted nothing more than to paddle the last hundred miles.
