A FRESH Start to a New Semester!

Welcome back to a fresh, new semester!  Though some time spent out of school with family and friends was nice, it feels really good to start spring semester with renewed energy (no pun intended).  I've been really enjoying the variety of classes I have this semester and am really looking forward to all the new things I will learn in them.  The class that I'm probably looking forward to the most is Sociology of the Environment and Natural Resources; so far, it is amazing to learn how much the idea of "nature" is created by human culture and how strongly it influences how culture is formed.  I'll confess though, it's a close tie between that class, water aerobics and landscape construction (in which we are designing an outdoor classroom for landscape architecture students - we will also be building the classroom this fall!).  

Aside from school, life is wonderful!  Logan is beautiful in the winter, and now that we've finally gotten some snow, my friends and I have been trying to take full advantage of it.  We spent Sunday afternoon snowshoeing in Logan Canyon and soaking up the blue sky, snow and beautiful mountains surrounding us.  Our group rented snowshoes from the campus Outdoor Recreation Program (ORP) with the free $20 credit each student gets every semester (a free afternoon of snowshoeing - what could be better than that?).  There are no doubts that we will be going again soon!

Overall, it's been a great few weeks here in Logan.  While I don't want time to pass by too quickly, I'm looking forward to what this semester holds and the great experiences I'm going to have!  Until next time, GO AGGIES!!
