Here are some more photos from the past fall. For Field Trips this year I went to the GRAND CANYON for ten days. It was absolutely incredible. I came back bruised, foul-smelling and with the biggest grin on my face. Here are some photos before we went in:

I'm luminous, that's how pale I am.

The deer were really comfortable on our campground.

The Americans learned how to chop wood. As a Norwegian, I obviously knew how to already.

And then I spent Thanksgiving with one of our lovely horse instructors. We went walking up the West Fork on Thanksgiving Day, and we also went to visit the horses one day which was equally lovely.

Thor.

Easy. One of two horses who took a break from eating to come say hi.

Ponies *smileyface*.

THEY ALSO HAD COWS. I NEVER SEE COWS IN ARIZONA. I LOVE COWS.

West Fork Hike:

Myself, Squeentz and Host.

All roads do in fact lead to Roma.

'Twas quite beautiful.

Quite beautiful indeed.

Squeentz is so ready! (No, that's not her real name)

We also put on Hamlet. I got to play Claudius which was a great challenge, but perhaps the most rewarding role I feel like I've had. It was awesome. Here, have a non-flattering photo of me performing Claudius' soliloquy not as Claudius. Claudius is a man without boobs so I had to wear a different shirt for that part.

I enjoy this photo mostly because I look slightly like a flying shirt and head.

And then came December! I painted my face in celebration for us not having homework due the next day, the girls' dorm had Yankee Swap and that is all that happened. Not really, but that's all that I took pictures of.
