Alaska with all the MOOSE and SNOW

Well, I made it to Alaska without a hitch!! The plane ride to Seattle was about as good as it can be sitting in between two slightly bigger gentlemen and being sick and congested. My right ear wouldn't pop with the change of pressure, and you can probably imagine what is must feel like to have someone pushing something into your ear! :( The flight to Alaska from Seattle was a little better seat-wise, I got window seat and sat next to a very nice older couple. Same issue with the ear but I slept through the majority of both flights anyways seeing how I didnt catch a wink of sleep the night before i left.
From the airport in Alaska, I met up with Jian and her two friends Kayti and Brandy who were very nice. From there we went to buy some food for breakfast and headed back to the campus. If you can imagine Drexel campus...right outside the city, several block of buildings, more cars than trees...well Alaska Pacific is the exact OPPOSITE! It's crazy to see the exact opposite of what I was looking for in a college and to see how much my sister loves it! Anyways is very pretty here; snow covering the mountains and trees which is great because I won't see snow for a while after this.
College life here is pretty boring though, or atleast what I've seen. Definitely glad I'll be in the city and for sure taking notes of what i do and do not want to do when I get to college. Anyways thats all for now! Tacos for dinner tonight!!
