Rachel in her natural habitat (standing on safety bars is a hobby of hers). It’s a little blurry but this is the kitchen/lounge right across from our room. As you can see there is another lovely view of the lake (which I love, clearly).
There are benches all around Lake LaSalle that are perfect for sitting peacefully. And photography.
LITERALLY the view from my bed. It’s nice sometimes to just lay there at night and look out at the lights. It’s beautiful. You can’t see it in this picture but directly to the left of the boundary of the photo is the lake again, as well as UB’s famous Baird Point columns.
The baby wheat plants at the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center are kept in K-State purple light to help them grow!
Fall is completely taking over UB and it’s gorgeous… I loved the contrast between the sky and the colors of the trees on this day.
A view of gorgeous Kansas farms from the roof of the feed mill.
A majority of the Squad with our leader, Keith, on the roof of the feed mill.
Sanjee let me try on a sari!!! It made me feel like a pretty purple princess.

Welcome, 2015
Being home has been unbelievably wonderful. It is certainly helpful that I’m keeping myself busy by continuing full-time work at the credit union and have some long(ish)-term projects that occupy and entertain me in my free time. I’m preparing myself … Continue reading

Break It Down
It’s hard to describe how finals week feels… It is relaxing and immensely stressful at the same time. Relaxing, because there are far fewer time commitments, but more stressful because, duh, finals. I’m lucky to be have had a super-short … Continue reading

Lows and Highs
This week started off with a serious case of the travel blues. I’ve talked before about how tough it can be to make the transition between school life and home life, and vice versa. Despite sleeping really well at home … Continue reading

Looking Up
I had so much to say yesterday that I figured I’d save some of the information for a later blog post (only a day later, but still). I’d had a very stressful few days and things finally started to look … Continue reading
