Well, the lady friend officially graduated college on saturday.

I've been bouldering most of this week (four days in the past seven). My hands are looking pretty awful: I have open blisters on four of my fingers, and a big chuck of skin missing from my right palm. And yet I'm still going back for some more tomorrow. :D

Bouldering?

My cousin went bouldering and rock climbing almost religously after he flunked college

That's pretty cool

That's funny...I started doing it religiously after I decided that I didn't want to finish grad school this semester and go back to the real world.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun. But your hands do get pretty messed up (at least mine have). Though I'm kinda used to it because I did Crew in college, which is another sport that blisters hands.

I did a little boudlering in the Boy Scouts, and sadly never got to make use of the school's rock climbing wall.

However, I play a bit of polo now and then for my college athletic fix.

And golf.

Can you not wear gloves, or is wearing them a bad idea?

I was supposed to graduate this weekend with my Master's. My own ladyfriend was also supposed to graduate this weekend with her Bachelor's. Both of us are going to have to wait until next year to walk (although I'm supposed to defend my thesis in September).
