Skating on I-89

So the best news ever came today- I am in the JD program starting in the Fall of 2008.  I am so excited and cannot wait to continue my degree here at VLS for the next three years :) Like I said in the last posting, I went to Maryville, MO where I flew into Kansas City, MO [...]

It’s been a while

Coming back from winter break, settling into classes, and traveling have had me very occupied this semester.  It seems that second semester is very busy, but everyone knows what is going on so I don’t feel as lost- just busy all the time.  However, I like being very busy so maybe it might just be me [...]

Whirl Wind

It seems as though every morning I wake up to the wind whipping against my window.  It is that time of year when the trees are barren, the ground is hard, chills run up your spine every time you get out from underneath a blanket, and the weather bringing strong winds and unexpected snow.  This [...]

Wildlife Management

I have been a wildlife manager (hunter or fisherwoman) since the age of six and have continued my involvement throughout life.  For the past three years, I have been unable to escape Michigan State University to participate in this family tradition.  However, this morning, I got outdoors, listen to the chickadees sing, watch the fog roll in and [...]

First Frost

Coming home after Martial Arts Club, the moon was rising over the mountains and looked like the sun rising over the horizon.  There were stars glimmering everywhere in the clear night sky.  I knew on the ride home that tonight was going to be cold!  In the morning, there was a frost covering everything including the cars.  [...]

78 degrees

The day has brought 78 degree weather with sunshine and cool breezes.  Of course, I took advantage of  today as much as possible while still working on an energy paper due tomorrow.  I didn’t think that I would be able to go swimming in the river if I wanted too this late in the season.  I thought there [...]

Colors

Red, yellows and oranges cover the mountain side behind my house.  I have been waiting for awhile for this time to come.  I took a nice hike up the hill yesterday to notice all the colorful leaves and to play in the stream that flows along the path.  I had to climb a steep hill [...]

Being Sick

Usually I am the last to get sick at school because I exercise, take my vitamins and eat healthy, but for some reason, I am really sick.  I have been sick for the past three days and it doesn’t seem to be subsiding.  I visited the doctor yesterday in between classes and meetings, but she [...]

Middlebury

So I decided to take a journey outside of the East Randolph to South Royalton limits.  Where did my journey take me? To Middlebury, Vermont with the Fighting Swans, the VLS Rugby Team.  I traveled to Middlebury College to watch our rugby team beat Middleberry with a score of about 50 to 10.  Middlebury was an amazingly beautiful town with [...]

ELS

Rising at 6:30am, out the door by 7:45am, parking the car by 8:10am, studying until 9:45am, class until 11:10am- this is my routine on Tuesday and Thursday of this week.  My roommate who usually has class at 8:30am drives himself, but his radiator hose became disconnected and will not be fixed until Thursday afternoon.  Needless [...]
