WEEK 12!!!

-

 And the countdown continues! Three weeks until my flight home! This week was another good one. 

I had friendsgiving on Monday with a bunch of my pals. Dinner was a good break from dining hall food. Luckily for me, they had all my thanksgiving favorites: chicken, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, mac and cheese, you name it. 

The temperatures seem to be staying in the single digits from now on so the snow is still here. Everything is frozen and white. I took some pictures and it almost looks like I put a black and white filter over everything. It's very pretty, but spend more than 5 minutes outside and I get frost on my eyelashes. 

The university had another movie night on Friday. I saw the new Ghostbusters movie with some friends. I thought the movie was good but not because of the plot. I rarely speak badly of movies but the comedy made the movie, it would've been hard to sit through otherwise.

I also made a lot of progress on planning my trip to Fairbanks. I got some of my friends to join me so I'm excited that it's all working out. I should have a good blog post coming along in the next few weeks. 

Next week is Thanksgiving! The semester is winding down so I'll mostly be working on papers and projects. Still not as much work though, I'm looking forward to a slow week. 

I had another art project to do for my class, so I included a picture of that as well as our friendsgiving spread and some snow pcitures.

First Week Recap

-
     So far so good. I was able to get a negative COVID test result, so I got to attend my Chemistry class. It took a second to work through the format of all my online classes but this week was only introduction assignments. All except Chemistry of course, we started right off with the first chapter of information and a nice easy 176 question homework assignment. I caught up with all my work over the weekend so hopefully this week won't be so bad.      There are still a few things I need get more used to around campus. I have to figure out the bus system so I can get to some of my classes. I also want to go to the gym at some point but needless to say, running long distances on a treadmill doesn't exactly motivate me since they don't have a track.      All in all there is not much to talk about. I have a few plans for next week, but I'll save it for the next blog!

WEEK 8!!!

 I figured out that I skipped a week when I changed my blogging day from Monday to Saturday so I had to catch myself up with my titles. This week was another interesting one. I did find myself at the library everyday this week to do work. However, as of literally 5 minutes ago, my WiFi starting workng again. After multiple calls and emails and tests all they had to do was reset the router. Of course. At least I got comfortable working in the library, I think that'll come in handy if I just need to switch up my environment to focus on my work.  I made a bit of progress with my study abroad plans. I've finished setting up my student account and narrowed down some housing options. I just need to apply to a few dorms and figure out a few more classes to take while I'm there.  Overall another well-rounded week. I went out for sushi with some friends, took a walk thorugh the trails behind my dorm (even though it was because I had to build a rock tower for my art class, it was sti

WEEK 11!

 Another week gone by, this one was weird. I really didn't have a lot to do this week so I took the liberty of giving myself a mental health week. I slept in most days and read a lot and watched a lot of TV. But honestly it was a much needed break, and next week will go back to normal.  I finally achieved one of my goals and I saw a moose on campus! I was just walking to my chemistry class and there were two moose (mooses?) just standing right outside. I'm very glad I looked up because I feel like I could've just walked right by them and not even noticed. I have plenty of videos, unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture to post on here. You'll just have to take my word for it.  I went to go see Eternals on Friday and I loved it. I had no real prior knowledge on who the eternals were so I had no guesses on what the plot was, but I was happily suprised. The two post-credit scenes did not disappoint. If you've seen it then you know exactly what I'm talkin
