Two weeks in Greeley, Colorado--home of the University of Northern Colorado bears. Out of a three year online masters program, having to spend two weeks on campus is not bad. But it was two weeks without the boys, my 35th birthday away from family and friends, and two weeks of roommates and sharing a bathroom with three other women. Ahh, college life. Let's just say this was definitely a different experience than my undergrad at BYU. Boys next door, beer in the fridge, "personal items" sold in the bookstore. College certainly has changed since I was a kid!
The campus was really pretty with beautiful old buildings. The aroma of Greeley leaves a little bit to be desired as the big business in town is meat packing. Mmmm! We did have one weekend free, so some girls and I went to a concert at Red Rocks. None of us had heard of the headliner--Brandi Carlisle--but thanks to Youtube, we decided it was worth a shot. It was a fantastic venue and we had lots of fun.

| Aren't I too old for a backpack that heavy? And yes, I am bringing cupcakes to class for my birthday. |
