I went on a Flora and Fauna trip to Maine to see puffins. It was a dream come true and now a bitter-sweet memory: the seniors who made it such a fantastic experience have now graduated and I'm going to miss them...
Dartmouth's proximity to nature - the White Mountains and the Connecticut River, was one of the main factors that made me apply Early Decision, but it took me three quarters before I actually went paddling on the river.
Last week, I returned from my AIARE 1 course, which focuses on decision-making in avalanche terrain. The program involved a weekend away from school to learn about snow safety, avalanche rescue techniques, and more.
