I took an incredibly demanding and difficult and challenging job, and it pushes me incredibly hard, 70 hours a week, but I’m getting a lot out of it.

I took ballet lessons with two great friends of mine, and it was totally no pressure and I came out super-fit. Can’t wait to pick them up again next semester!

the tundra is my true home and i miss it and this trip every single day. I traveled 1000km (600 miles) by canoe with six other women my age for 50 days. We didn’t talk to anyone else the entire trip and it was more than amazing and so much more than I ever expected it to be. I remember putting this goal up sophomore year and thinking it was a far away possibility, and after saving every cent of my money and preparing myself mentally, i actually did it. There are too many beautiful memories and pictures to do this trip justice. It changed me forever.
