Each year, Colby-Sawyer College has what it is called, “Mountain Day.” Usually within the first few weeks of school, the event date is unknown to students and the majority of faculty. At approximately 10am on mountain day, school bells ring and classes are cancelled. Vans soon arrive to transport students to the local Mt. Kearsarge for hiking, food, and outdoor activities. Being seniors, Kath and I thought it fitting to instead drive to Mt. Washington this year and take advantage of the gorgeous afternoon. More images from the voyage are on Flickr.
Way to take Mountain Day a little too literally. Slackers

Know whats funny? I just did an ad for the Cog! You picked a good day to go up to the top of Mt. Washington. Beautiful views, pictures dont do it justice. Also, I took the word press plunge. Throw /blog/ on the end of my url to check it. Hope classes are goin well!

Mountain Day BLOWS! All I did for my first Mountain Day was stay in my room and catch up on homework.

P.S. Give my best to Kath and her bum knee!

@Jason: Just because I have your old room, doesn’t mean you need to be jealous
@Travis: Cool! Like you said, pictures don’t do it justice. Especially when you get near the top of the winding, dirt road with thousands of feet below you. That sinking gut feeling is just not captured by the camera.
@JUnit: haha, I remember that first Mountain Day. All it meant was more time to do Pathways work
Also, Kath is doing really well, scar is healing up nicely and knee is feeling better. How’s school going so far? I don’t know if it’s just the way my classes worked out or what but these first few weeks have been crazy! So much work right now, doing well though. Talk to you very soon, hope everything’s going all right. Take it easy.

Awesome pictures. Glad you guys did something on the MT day. I miss that crap. Hope classes are going well. I’m moving to the Boston area in a few weeks. I don’t really have a job, but i think I might do customer service for some stupid company. I have an interview with them tomorrow.
Say hi to Kathy for me. And give me an update on the world of CSC. And tell people to leave millions of comments on my website!

Hey, Chris. School is very busy right now, hoping things let up next week sometime and I can get back to web design. All is well though. Let me know how Boston goes. I’ve been keeping an eye on where the design jobs are showing up and that is definitely a hot spot; I’m sure you’ll find something cool. Catch up with you soon, take care.
