Colorado

     I'm in Colorado Springs this weekend visiting Colorado College. The surrounding area and the campus are absolutely gorgeous but the college wasn't my favorite. The people were not nearly as hospitable as the people at Guilford and the campus was more complicated. Despite that though, my dad and I have had a great time hiking some of the trails around here.

    Today we were planning to hike a trail by the Air Force Academy but, once we got there, we found out that the trail had been closed after Bin Laden was killed (not sure why). So we changed our plans and hiked up to this section of amazing rock formations called the Crags. Afterwards, we found a trail that offered some beautiful views of the city and the mountains. We could also see the Garden of the Gods, an group of rock formations that we visited yesterday.

    We are about to head to dinner at a sports bar where we can watch the Rangers in the World Series. Although, given that the score is 5-0 St. Louis right now, it isn't looking like a very good game.

    I'm hoping that I will be able to catch up on the work that I missed during class this week by working super-efficiently. We'll see how that goes!
