Back in Canada


So it's been a bit since I last updated this but I am still alive and well and back in the land of the metric system and Itchy-ban soup, what we all call Ramen back home.

I flew back out to school on the 6th and moved in with three other girls to a small apartment really close to campus. Its so nice to have our own place and the other girls are here more than I am so they've already made it feel nice and homey.

My summer was amazing! I worked as an expedition guide at Spruce Lake Wilderness Camp in PA all summer. I led trips for 11-18 year olds and we went all over north eastern PA and one week up to the White Mountains in NH for some backpacking. The kids were really fun and the staff at camp is great also. It was defiently the job for me for the summer!

Here is a link to view my collection of photos for the summer:

This semester is a modular semester for me so I am on trip for most of the first two months I am here and then have some week long classes that I take one at a time for November and December. Two days after I was here, we took off for an eight day rock climbing course. It was so great! So much climbing in eight days and we got some great experience and practice with ropes and leading clients and groups on rock. The weather was amazing for us and we were camping the whole week also so it was really relaxed and fun.

I am in the Apline track for my program along with six other guys so its very relaxed and they're all easy to get along with.
Here are a few photos I took on this past trip.


On Sunday we're headed back up north near Whistler for another eight days of mountaineering, glacier travel and crevass rescue. Should be sweet!
