The Trek Out West

So I am finally in my new home: Richards Hall 113 at Utah State University

It is so cool. The mountains are breath-taking and I don't know if they'll ever get old.

On Saturday we started the three day journey from Wausau, Wisconsin. Leaving at five am sounded fine a few weeks earlier but the morning of, and I was a little annoyed with the time.

I had to look happy so we could get started. Good thing that is the earliest morning I will have for a LONG time!

Then we headed out. Our first stop was the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota. Here are some pictures from those things.

We also got to go caving near Mt. Rushmore. It was the highlight of my trip. And through this, I finally found the good in being short. Let me tell you, no one over 5 feet, 6 inches could make it through that cave. Perhaps instead of being a camp director, I should go into caving and become a professional caver (if there is such a thing). It was super cool and I learned a lot, even though I don't remember any of it anymore! Once again, here are some pictures.

And then, we finally arrived in Logan, Utah on Monday. While it was a LONG trip, it was definitely worth it. I have my dorm room somewhat set up and will continuously be organizing it throughout the semester. Classes start next Monday so I am excited for that. Other than that, I am busy cruising around Logan and trying to find my way around campus the best I can. I will see you all at Christmas!
