| Eldora ski resort, where I have a season pass |
I survived my first semester! For some crazy reason, I thought it would be a good idea to give a talk about my research to a room full of around 100 8th graders...it was poor planning considering it was the morning after my last final (which was 7:30-10pm, what?). Oh, also, I had a final on a SATURDAY, come on CU. But back to the talk, it went pretty well, but 8th graders are a hard crowd, it was hard to tell if they were interested at all. I did pass around a rock sample and a petri dish with microorganisms growing on it, which they all freaked out when I showed it to them, so at least I got shock points! My adviser and I also went skiing together, proving once again how amazing she is.
BOULDER BREWERIES
I love the beer in Boulder! I went to Twisted Pine with some friends and got this delicious sampler, including a beer with 5 chilies in it! Fort Collins also has some good breweries, I have been to Odell's and have been meaning to get to New Belgium. Colorado has the best IPAs.
WINTER FUN
We tried to go snowshoeing this weekend, but the snow was too packed down, so it just turned into a hike, but it was still beautiful!

Also, skiing on weekdays is the best. I went on a Thursday morning, and the slopes were so nice and empty.
So going to school in the brewery capital of America?...SMART! How was the chili beer by the way, the one time I have had chili beer it was like drinking alcoholic tabasco sauce.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends described it as tasting like heartburn...but I wouldn't go that far. It was very green tasting, definitely glad I just got a taster. In the summer they make an even stronger ghost chili beer!
