ranting and raving

I am annoyed at the moment because my advisor has yet to clear me for registration for classes which I can start tomorrow. I want to get the classes I want so I can fulfill my requirements for my major. So then I can start focusing on the classes I want for my major. I hate the fact that this women is not responding to my emails, and is not even her office half the time. I want to succeed in college, and its people like her that are stopping me from my goals.

180 degree south

After viewing the movie, I personally am interested in what they were able to do and how the trip changed them for the better. My dad and I over the last couple of years enjoy climbing and hiking, we have climbed the highest peaks in Ireland and we have climbed around the blue ridge mountains. Our own personal goal two summers from now is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.  In this movie I was impressed with the climbing they were able to accomplish, as it only reaffirmed what I wanted to do.

Another aspect of the movie that really impressed me was how they managed to live the way they did. So far away from civilization in nature, was impressive to me. Their ability to rely almost entirely on the land around them was fascinating. I hope the world can take notice from the preservation they set up in Chile as we are dangerously facing a crisis in the near future.
