One of my roommates just informed me that she will be spending the May Term in Taos, New Mexico. It made me reminisce on the great experiences and opportunities I had while I spent my time there. Last summer I participated in the August term, and it was one of the most amazing trips I have yet to have taken in College. As a homebody, I came to SMU from good ole' HP high only a mile or two from my home. This opened my eyes to a real awakening, in which, I was more independent than I have ever been in my life. I hiked the tallest peak of NM, I rafted down the Rio Grande, and I learned in a way that engaged me fully, and completely. This is an amazing endeavor that any one with a taste for nature and serenity should take. The above photo to the left is one that I took at an "Earthship", a real-life home made of completely recycled materials including tires, bottles, and adobe. The second photo is one that I really admire, because it is at the peak of Wheeler Mountain with my good friend, and sister.
