Short story about the snow here at Evergreen: So, Monday, it’s bright and sunny. The flowers are popping up and I’m thinking short and flip flop weather is almost here. To celebrate, I grab my pool towel, shorts, swim shirt and flip flops, and am prepared to hit up the sauna, and maybe the pool, […]
So my human walks into, I guess our room, and from what I know of him, he doesn’t dance. I think he still can’t, hence the look I gave him. He laughed and kept “dancing”. I think there is some sort of misunderstanding. All this snow must have done something I think.
Coming from California, I’ve only seen large amounts of snow a couple times in my life. Last year was the first time I’d seen snow in about ten years. And this year, we were treated with our first Snow Day this past week. I woke up early Tuesday morning to the sound of my roommate […]
It’s Snowing! I’m not sure how many can relate but I NEVER had a white christmas until moving to Olympia. I never even experienced snow, period. So with that being said I’m sure you can imagine my excitement this last week as powdered sugar has been falling from the sky and covering everything around me. […]
This quarter I’ve been working with medium format color film. Before winter started, I’d only ever worked with 35mm black and white film. Film in general hasn’t been my forte so moving up to color and larger format film was… Continue Reading →

That being said, we don’t get too much snow that actually sticks around here, so when […]

As driver of a school van, it wasn’t the most pleasant experience, however Portland greeted us with sun and a bright Lunar New Year celebration. Learning Mandarin […]
Okay, so I’m from a farming valley in California where it’s basically always summer and we are hours from the beach. Before moving to Olympia I had never even been on a real hike before, just very long walks through flat parks. It took me almost a year to stop drooling every time I would … Continue reading Backyard Adventures
So this quarter I decided to take 8 credits rather than 16, because I was getting surgery over winter break and didn’t want too much to worry about. I am so happy I decided to take the classes that I am in because I am getting so much out of them! Right now I am … Continue reading Writing From Life
Something I really appreciate about Evergreen is how many chances we get to do labs. Right now I am taking 12 credits of INS (biology and chemistry) and a 4 credit night class (physics). Being in three heavy sciences is… Continue Reading →
