Spring Break Travels
With spring break occurring last week, spring itself is due to finally come at last. The following travel story includes my spring-break travel experience.It was not much of a “spring” break. My family and I traveled to northern Minnesota, where winter lasts a little bit longer and the air is typically more frigid than in Marinette. The reason for such a long journey is because my grandparents live in that state, within a small town called Ely, a dead city during the winter and a tourist trap during the summer. My family gathered at my grandparents’ house after a long eight-hour journey, and with it already being so late at night we had a short visitation and then went to bed a few hours later. The next day, there was a feast prepared. There was soup, sausage, coleslaw, and potatoes, typical hearty meals local people in the area enjoy. My grandpa and I talked politics while drinking some coffee before we went ice fishing. Stump Lake was the destination. My father, grandpa, and I walked across the ice and began drilling holes. Unfortunately, there were not many fish, but we found peace in nature, and we saw some dog sleds in the distance. Whenever staying at my grandparents house, we typically spend three nights before returning back home to Wisconsin. Goodbyes are always the most animated times. Grandpa always fixes breakfast the day my family and I leave. We gave turns exchanging hugs and making jokes. My grandmother always gets emotional when we leave.

Sometimes we get those classes where the instructor is less-than thrilling. Something about their lecture needs a little oomph every so often. As a guest lecturer and teaching assistant for his professor in graduate school, Professor Kallgren added just this to a class of nearly seventy-five students. Nervous but sure he wanted to do it, he entered with the announcement that he was not the professor they were expecting. A little bit of humor went a long way.
Professor West was fresh out of grad school when he stumbled through his first lecture as an exhibit curator for a small college museum in New Mexico. Unfortunately, he had some stage fright, relying on his notes to get him through a foggy memory and talking faster to make up for lost time. This resulted in a

It was last semester, October of 2021. My geology class entered the bus en masse with all of our rain gear and lunch boxes. We were going to multiple places, beautiful places deep in nature, to study rocks and land formations. The first destination was Dave’s Falls. I had been here several times, but it was rather gorgeous at that time of the year. My class and I needed to take notes on the rocks of the area, making guesses on what type of rocks we saw and noticing the fractures and crevices to attain an idea on how they had formed. I could not help but notice the girl whom I had a crush on. She was a cultured nature-freak I had in a couple of my classes during that semester, but I missed my chances and will probably never see her again. The place was divine.
River: I supply water to the Earth and all of its creation, fertilizing land, hydrating the land creatures, and giving refuge to the fish. I am sacred to the world in all three of my forms, and I have lasted for billions of years. I am loud, but also silent, because I feel ill more often these days. I have been accumulating strange foam and goo, peculiar foods of peculiar tastes. As for the fish who reside within me, illness is rampant. I do not know how much more of this I can handle.
