8:00: Pre-thoughts
	It’s a Thursday, early in the morning, and I am helping to pack for the trip.  My mother, father, and I are going to spend a few days in Yosemite, and hopefully have a great time.  I have only one thing on my mind, the dome, more importantly, the climb up!  I have been literally dying from the excitement; but it seems that time is drawn out too long for a young man to wait.   I can only imagine what the top will be like; I can only conceive the feeling of my adrenaline pumping when I am on those cables. I will just have to be patient as hard as it seems.
