Rock climbing, field trips and Thanksgiving

This week has been nonstop go! First there was shadow night on Tuesday and we went rock climbing… I never knew hanging from a piece of plastic high in the air (okay, I’m 5′2 so anything above 6 feet is high for me) could be so much fun. I’m even proud to say I tried what I dubbed to be the “scary wall” and I didnt give up, I just fell off.

I woke up the next morning sore as can be, my arms aren’t used to that kind of stuff, I’m a weakling. I can’t wait to go again, I even told my friend when she comes to visit we would go because I think she would love it.

Then Weds. night I had a field trip to St. John Fishers College to have a newspaper conference with their staff. It was so weird doing the drive home and not actually going home. I was so close that I just kept telling myself only a few more days and I could finally go home. I haven’t been back since August.

Fisher is HUGE! Its so different from Medaille, but at the sametimeĀ I think I would get lost on a larger campus. They took us through the nursing building and I was confused. It was nice to visit though and we told them next semester they have to come here. And it was helpful, although after talking to their Photo Editor I feel as if I don’t know what I’m doing at my job.

And we all got excited about our NYC trip in March since we get to hang out with them again.

Next week is Thanksgiving break and I for one am soooo happy to be going on break. As much as I love it here I need a little vacation. Plus, all my friends from home will be back including my one friend who goes to school in Boston and I never get to see her. Its exciting we all have plans already. We are going to dinner and to see August Rush which looks amazing. Oh and I have to write a 15 page paper so I guess my break really is more of a working break.
