So school is going full swing once again. I'm currently taking one really cool class and two really boring ones. Then a few PE classes.
Environmental Education is really awesome. Its one of the few classes in my lifetime that I know like 40% of the people in the class. It like 40 people big, so its super cool. The class itself is split into two parts. One in the Winter and one in the spring. The winter bit is mainly theory while the spring bit is practical application. We as groups are assigned with partners. We got Andrews Experimental Forest. We are doing curriculum and an interpretive trail. It should be good times.
This is them.

As for my other classes which are Freshwater Biology and Ancient Sciences they are very run of the mill. I'm also helping teach rock 1 and rock 2 which is super awesome. The instructor Nate is really cool and I feel that he is my equal, and I think he feels the same way. So we go back and forth really well. Maybe next year if I can't find a job I'll try to get Dan to pay me. We'll see....
So Dan, Emily and I went hiking to the top of Spencer's Butte last weekend. It was a nice way to spend the 3 day break since I didn't go skiing which I still need to learn how to do and it was too cold to climb. I am utterly amazed at those two and their commitment to each other. I hope I can only be so lucky. I'm also amazed at my laziness. I should have been to Spencer's already being an outdoorsy person. I'm definitely going to work on that. Get outside Tee, stop making excuses.
