It feels like just yesterday that I was signing up for this course and now we are only a week away from leaving for Alaska! The only thing standing in our way is a week of finals and graduation for the seniors.

In preparation for our travels and glacier climbing I have had to do some shopping for things like a good rain coat, hiking pants, and mountaineering boots. I bought my boots over a month ago and it seems so crazy that I will finally get to put them to use in a little over a week!

After learning about the climate and glaciers all semester I am looking forward to using this knowledge while traveling around Alaska. This will definitely be a once in a lifetime experience and I cannot wait for our journey to begin.
