So, I’ve been looking at my planner and I can’t say that I really like what I see. I was hoping to go on Climbing 3 on the 17th but sadly, I have an essay due the following Monday and a midterm on Tuesday. Seeing as I know I will get absolutely no work done on such climbing adventures, it’s looking like my next excursion out into the wild won’t be until October 30th at the earliest. 

I bet you’re wondering what I’m going to write about over the next few weeks and I think I’ve come up with a plan that you will very much enjoy. Many people have wondered, speculated and pondered how someone goes from fashion magazine intern to wilderness enthusiast and part of the answer lies in my previous outdoor experiences with ASB. Fasten your seatbelts because apart from covering the lectures and whatever wild surprises come my way, the next few weeks will be devoted to the many adventures of ASB trips Yosemite and Monterey. We’ll start with Yosemite, after all that is where I first came in contact with Wilskills people and practices through Sara and Alex.

So, let’s give this whole throwback thing a try. I know, it’s not the same as reading the most recent adventures and you’ll have to suffer through a lot of awful hairstyle choices and pastel outerwear but I will do my best to make you laugh, even if it’s at me.  Bear with me because I think this could be a pretty fun series of posts…

p.s. I got into the Florence program for this Spring! Yay!! Sorry, but this is my blog and I feel shameless celebration is kind of in order because writing an essay in my rudimentary Italian skills was almost as rough as a day on the Nantahala.
