4 weeks to go

I know "they" say the older you get the faster the time goes. I am amazed how quickly the last few months have gone. I am curious what my classmates thoughts are about taking an online class. I have learned a lot over these past weeks and the convenience of not having to be at class is a big help. Of course there are some aspects that we miss out on, like not having the benefit of Kenya in a classroom environment being able to speak in person. Email is a great tool however and Kenya always answered mine in a timely manner. I know that for myself the biggest issue was staying organized. The first couple weeks of class were a little confusing to me and I missed a few assingnments because I wasn't prepared. Overall I think online classes are very useful.

Spring Break

It felt more like Christmas break than Spring Break. What is going on with this weather? I was studying on the fourth floor of the library and a big snowstorm blew through as I watched two giraffes in the zoo walk by,pretty crazy! The week consisted of watching the snow fall,mailing a bunch of packages,taking my shoes to the "shoeguy"and studying chemistry.
My friend Alan and myself did however manage to flyfish the South Fork of the Boise river. It was a pretty nice day in Boise but the South Fork is north of Mountain Home and it's elevation is almost 5000ft. It was 35 degrees when we got there and the wind was howling. We try to tell ourselves it's great to be outside and not in class but it didn't quite feel the same. We did manage to catch 4 to 5 each but the cold weather and wind made us cut the trip short to drink coffee and smoke cigars. Overall not a bad week of having some time off.
