Journal #2 was due today. The students will have a test over the mountain parts, their notes, vocabulary words, and the general story of the tragedy in 1996 next Friday.

Today the students continued their climb to the top of the world. We suffered a great tragedy with a climber dying at the camp that we were at, but we are still pushing toward the summit. Some of us are also suffering from high altitude sickness, but we are all slowly acclimating to the thin air.
