I apologize for not posting last weekend but I didn't have much to report on! This weekend I was able to get out for another hike! I went out to Angel Rocks and Chena Hot Springs which is about an hour NE of campus. We did an 8.7 mile hike starting at Angel Rocks and ended at Chena Hot Springs. We had two cars so we shuttled them back and forth. It was a beautiful hike and the landscape reminded me a lot of western Maine. We could see quite a ways in the distance and it was crazy to think that there are no towns or people out there!

Up on the ridge..the trees were covered in frost and there was snow on the ground!
The view. This was taken at about noon so that is how high the sun gets right now! It's only going to get lower!

The hot springs! It was really hot in there!!

Besides the awesome hike, everything else is going very well!! My roommate is done with her thesis work and is moving out sometime next weekend. I have no idea if I will get another roommate or not! Classes are going well and are slowly taking up more and more time. I have to start back at square one with all the research I've done so far because we think there was a bug in the software I had been using. It shouldn't be too bad to catch back up though! I don't have much else for news...just getting everything done and hanging out with friends! I've been contra dancing still which has been fun but there are a few creepy old guys that keep wanting to dance and the dances are not as fancy as the Maine ones. It's still fun though and I keep meeting new people when I go!! I am getting excited to go home for Christmas!!! :)
