Week of March 7

This week feels about the same as last week. I did get my grades back for my genetics and Kinesiology exams and got B's on both of them! However, I also had a Physics exam this week and I am probably the most nervous about it of all the exams I have taken this semester so far, so fingers crossed I did well. I also kept playing Magic the Gathering with friends and Friday night I got to play poker with a few people and that was really fun I did not do that good, but it was still a good time. I am planning to take a trip on the Colorado National Monument soon so I will definitely post pictures when those come in. And this week I booked a flight to come back to Columbia for a week in April for my birthday which I am really excited about! I have not missed my family and friends super bad, but it will be great to see them.

    I’m glad to hear you did well on those exams, Nic! I know Physics can be a challenging class for sure. I can’t wait to see pictures from your Colorado National Monument trip! Your trip back to Columbia in April for your birthday will be nice to see and catch up with your friends and family in South Carolina. It’ll give you a chance to tell them all about your NSE adventures in person!

Week of March 14

 This week has been pretty tough and it’s been hard to focus on school but I got to go to Estes National Park for a campus retreat over the weekend. It was a lot of fun because I got to meet new people and I was able to finally see a good bit of snow. There was probably about six inches of snow which was the most I have seen in a long time. I also had a final for one of my half semester classes and I am a little worried about it but hopefully I was able to do well.

Why NSE?

 I chose NSE because it was a great opportunity for me to travel and gain new experiences while studying away without having to go abroad. It also gave me the opportunity to find schools with my major (exercise science) which I could not find with study abroad. There were three school in NSE that had my major a school in Alabama, a school in Massachusetts, and the one I chose Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado. I decided to go to CMU because I wanted to leave the south east and I love the outdoors and mountains so I knew I would have a great time, although I am still not prepared for how cold it is gonna be. My application to NSE was basically on a whim though, I found out, applied, and did all my paperwork the weekend right before it was all due. It was a bit of a scramble to try and get it all done, but I figured that if I could finish it all and get accepted in that short of a timeframe then it was meant to be. Over the past nine months or so now I have been prepar

Arches National Park

 On Valentine's day I was able to go visit Moab, Utah which is about two hours away from Grand Junction. There are two National Parks there and I got to go into Arches National Park. It was absolutely beautiful and like nothing I had ever seen out east. There were lots of red rock formations and obviously arches made from the formations. It was really interesting because it is in the desert, but there is also mountains and snow around, too. These are some photos I was able to take to remember it. To be honest though I now understand the phrase pictures do not do it justice more than ever.
