This fall I will be heading to Kelly, Wyoming to attend the Teton Science Schools (TSS) graduate program, and at the request of several people, I will attempt to keep a blog about my adventures! No guarantees that it will be updated frequently, but I will do my best.
I was also inspired by a current student at TSS who has kept an incredibly detailed blog throughout her year at the school, whose posts have given me a glimpse at what I can expect next year!
I cannot believe that my time at Linfield is officially over, and that it has been for over a month now! I miss my roommates and friends so much, and I hope to keep in touch with all of you. I also hope to end up in Oregon in the future!
The last month has seen me working at Fliptastic! to earn some money to get me through the school year, as well as buying TONS of cold weather/hiking/outdoor gear. For a girl born and raised in Sacramento, who then spent 4 years in rainy Oregon, I have absolutely no experience with snow and below freezing temperatures. Rain yes, snow NO. This next year will be an experience! I had never set foot in an REI, and let me tell you…I was in heaven. Whoever said Disneyland was the happiest place on earth, was WRONG!
Just a few of the items bought so far
Before I can start at TSS in August, I have to get my Wilderness First Responder training done! So for 10 days I will be learning first aid and safety training to prepare myself for the worst in the backcountry!
I don't know if anyone will ever read this blog of mine, but I promise to figure out format and everything as I go!
