Snow shoeing, Ice Climbing, and plenty of Skiing!!

I've decided it's been way too long since I've last talked about the Wilderness Program. In the winter the Wilderness Program runs so many trips in a variety of outdoor sports. Here are some of the trips that have been going out on the weekends this semester!
*SNOW SHOEING 
*ICE CLIMBING 
* TELEMARK SKIING 
*ALPINE SKIING
*LEARN TO SKI 
*DOG SLEDDING (Christmas Break trip!)

Who knew you could have this much fun in the snow? I'm not a huge fan of really cold weather, but I love being a leader and getting to go outside on weekends and explore Vermont in the winter! I think one of my favorite trips would have to be my snow shoeing trip that I led a few weeks ago! We snow shoed Nebraska Notch which is right around Mt. Mansfield. We had beautiful weather, not to cold, not to warm,and  lite flurries. There was five of us and we had quite an adventure on the trail and ended up meeting so many couples and people out that morning. On our way back we had to descend a pretty steep "hill" so we ended up sliding down on our butts wishing we had a sled. The day was a success and I can't wait to get back outside this weekend to Ski!!

Butt sliding action going on!

Is it better to take your LSRs on campus or during study abroad?

It is definitely better to take your LSRs on campus. A lot of times courses abroad don't match up with the LSRs or it's harder to find programs that accommodate a majority of them. I just had one philosophy class left and it worked out towards my benefit. I feel that completing the majority of your LSRs freshmen year is also really helpful and is a great way to discover what your major is if your undecided.

A Great American Holiday

The great American past time that has become almost a holiday, Superbowl Sunday. Waking up Sunday I knew I had only a few objectives to my day
#1 Homework (unfortunately)
#2 Order Wings for the game later on
#3 Watch the Superbowl

This has become a tradition across America to eat wings, fries, chips, dip, and some more unhealthy food while sitting on our butts for an extended period of time!  This year my friends, I discovered an earlier form of entertainment before the game which was the puppy bowl. The puppy bowl is where puppies play and battle it out while people commentate. So after a snowy night, sitting inside and celebrating  this grand American holiday seemed ideal. Even the Knight stand (cafe) at school was prepared and offering some sweet deals on food for the evening. I think that sitting around with a group of your friends and sharing delicious food while watching  men run around with a football is needed about once a year.

Since the patriots were not in the Superbowl I took more interest in playing with my new phone and watching commercials attentively! My favorite commercial had to be the Doritos pug attack video. (I really want a Pug so it was even funnier to me).

Enjoy!


Let me know what your favorite commercials were!

1.what do you plan to do with your major? 2. when studying abroad what type of classes did you take? did they fill your major requirements?

I plan on going to grad school and hopefully working with NGO's or an organization that helps people. I'm still open to many different possibilities for my future and am constantly thinking up new ideas of what I could do. While I was abroad I took Intermediate Italian, Philosophy, Italian culture and food, and Italian family and society. I was able to get some credit towards my major and complete my Liberal Arts requirements with my Philosophy class.
