Surprisingly, I've re-entered the world of nine-to-noon class and real homework with relative ease. This is in part because my new course, Earth Oceans Space, is pretty fantastic. We spent our second day of class learning about the formation of stars and solar systems... just like elementary school (in a very academic and university-appropriate way, of course). Our professor, a visiting astronomer named Jeff Hester, invited us all over on Friday night to learn about time-space relativity and nearly half the class came. On the first Friday night back at school! Quest is truly a place of academic magic (also, free snacks).
In addition, I'm enjoying jeans, sweaters, comfy rain boots, reuniting with Quest friends, and hearing about everyone's incredible adventures over the past two months. On my flight back from Borneo I was a little jealous of the people who were taking a block off to spend some time at home before returning to Squamish - but as soon as I got back on campus, I realized I was ready to be back, and while I'm excited to go home this summer, I'm stoked for the many Quest adventures that will no doubt take place before then.
Tantulus Mountains camping trip next weekend?
