Today was day two of EV431 Air: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The classroom for me is a familiar one for me, and I am sure for most of the other students taking this course, since most of us are Environmental Science majors and have wandered the same rooms in Tutt Science for a few years now. This …

Happy Wednesday! We’ve made it half way through third week. I’d have to say that this week has gone by pretty quickly so far, which is great! We have exactly one week left of the block. Next Wednesday is the last day. I can’t believe how quickly this block has gone by! It feels like …
Third week, the last full week of the block is here. It usually goes by the slowest of all the weeks. I have a feeling though that this block third week might not go by as slow as some others, mainly because we still have a fair amount of lab work to finish. It snowed …
Well it’s already half way through second week, meaning we have exactly 2 weeks left in the block now! Only 2 weeks till winter break, a long much-needed break from school. I’m really looking forward to it after taking two lab classes in a row. Lab classes really have a way of wearing you out. …
Wow I honestly can’t believe it is already the end of the first week of block 4! Time flies when you’re having fun in a lab class. But really this week flew by. That always seems to happen the first week after block break though. This block I am taking Bacterial Genetics and Physiology. It is an upper level elective for Biology, and …
Block 3 is spiraling to an end. It’s Week 4, and rather than being consumed by a rush of anxiety, I’m oddly calm. Week 4 and calm? What? A lot happened in this block–a lot of reading, a lot of talking, a lot of ceremonies, a lot of thinking, a lot of bizarre inexplainable emotional …
Indigenous Religious Traditions is my second religion course. The first was World Religions, a survey course at my hometown’s community college with over fifty students and professor who was not a fan of discussion. The class consisted of static once-a-week three-hour lectures with an occasional video to save the professor’s aged voice. There were no …
Well, we’re back from Pine Ridge and wow. I’m afraid the only words I have are pointless descriptors like “awesome, dude!” and profanity, and since I posted an intensely personal blog earlier I’ll leave most of the synthesis to one of the other bloggers. Also, I promised the buffalo dissection. On Tuesday, we went …
Climate change is an issue that cemented its place in the public consciousness years ago; ask anyone about it and they’re sure to have an opinion. The sad thing is that most people are unaware of the full story, which leads to confusion and a continuation of the political divide surrounding climate change. The truth …
dated Monday, November 5, 2012 Today we left campus for Pine Ridge! It was all very exciting and new—I’ve never been on a block that had an off campus trip before (I know, I know, I’m a senior and everything, but there was always just so much to do on campus). I didn’t get much …
