Snow?

Yes it is that time of year again! Winter is upon us!! YAY! For those of us who greatly enjoy winter sports, this is a good thing. So, I just got back from a field trip! heh, we went hiking in Wells Gray Park!! So awesome! and yes, there was snow, hence the title and such! It was so freezing cold - like think Strathcona hiking trip! well not quite so bad :P, but I was still feeling chilly. The folk from the Yukon made fun of me...anyways, we hiked up into the Alpine area on one of the mountains and it was so beautiful! We saw Krummholz trees! Krummholtz trees are the oldest trees that grow twisted and small...to protect themselves against the harsh environment! oh man, I'm a geek...lecturing ya'll in dendrology! Well what can I say - school's fun, I have awesome classmates...It's a TON of work though...I thought I was busy and had no life last year...well this is busier...try learning to identify and name (common name AND scientific name) 80 trees, over 100 plants (which by the way all seem remarkably similar...), and all the soil orders, diagnostic horizons..., and 14 biogeoclimatic zones! And that's only 3 out of my 5 classes...good times! so great news! actually it's not. I shrunk half a centimeter from my climbing tower extravaganza! I squished one of my disks in my back! oi...I'm supposed to take it easy...that's why I went hiking for hours....right...anyways...as fun as this is, I definately have 4 tests in the next 2 days...so I'd better get a-studying! heh, actually I'll probably more likely be a-sleeping soon...Anyways...I was just bored so i decided to write on here...so bye...
