Poll Reveals Students Happier When Viewing Glaciers and Scraggy Mountains from Train Than When Buying Textbooks

I'm back!

Alaska was beautiful! We spent two days in Anchorage, one day driving north to Palmer (home of 100 lb. cabbages, and giant marijuana plants, crazy growing conditions due to lots of sun) and Talkeetna (starting point for McKinley hikes & tours, too foggy for us to see the Mtn, though), then went south to Seward, which was awesome. We took a coach down, took a 4-1/2 hour cruise in Resurrection Bay, drove around Kenai peninsula, hiked up to Exit Glacier, saw a halibut as big as me, and returned via train--BEAUTIFUL! I was not as impressed with Anchorage, but loved the rest of it. We had a lovely time and I'll post photos soon.

We took a red-eye flight back. I napped for a few hours then marched my Mastercard straight down to the bookstore to pick up--*gulp*--$566 worth of textbooks. And I actually thought I'd get off easy this semester because I only have three real classes (the family law clinic I'm enrolled in is 6 credits).
