How did a whole month pass since my last post? I never even gave a report on Haiti. Life got a little crazy after returning since I had a week of classes to catch up on, and then it was time for finals. Finals were followed by a pretty intense work week - dean's office + grading papers, as I was a TA for a professor + new student orientation on Friday. And that was our spring break! Needless to say, it wasn't much of a break...however, I did manage to squeeze in a little time in the grand outdoors. Thursday I went with a group of friends from Fuller to Joshua Tree for the day. I honestly expected it to be a boring desert with a bunch of Joshua trees. But it was a lot more impressive than that! Plus, my dear ole pal, Naomi, came to visit from Seattle! And she's so hard core, she hiked in her bare feet! :)
This past weekend some friends and I went to the Grand Canyon. It was a pretty quick trip since we left Saturday morning, drove 7 hours to get there, then came back the next day. But it was so worth it! Our friends, Cristian and Bella, are expecting a baby in 3 months, and then they'll be heading back to their home in Romania. So this was a last opportunity to see the Grand Canyon before their life changes dramatically. Grand Canyon is beyond grand; we didn't even come close to seeing it all. Pictures could never capture it... But here are a few anyway.
And that guy standing in the snow with me...his name's Matt. And he's pretty great.
