HAPPY SPRING BREAK

Spring has come, so I've been spending more of my time outdoors. As I strolled around Officers Circle, I couldn't help but think how beautiful it is here at Fort Douglas. I continually give thanks to my parents for giving me the opportunity to live here. I love the original fort buildings, the academic atmosphere, the mountains so close by, the small community feel only a twenty-minute Trax ride from downtown Salt Lake City. Right now, I love sitting on the rocking chair on my house's front porch. I love holding class on the temporary bleachers in Stillwell Field. I love the scent of damp, sun-drenched cement left after the sidewalk has been cleaned of salt. The University of Utah has its positive aspects and its not-so-positive aspects, and Fort Douglas is one of the best of the positive aspects here.

Still, it's nice to go home for a break and I am especially in need of a break right now. Yay! Spring Break has begun! (Well, for me anyway.)
