The odds were not in my favor. Out of over 12,000 applicants, only 400 lottery tickets per day are given out during the annual Denali road lottery. And of those, only one of the four days is over the weekend- the others on weekdays, so you’d have to take time off. And then, once you’ve been lucky enough to secure a spot (some people apply for years without success), the issue of… Read More
It was an awesome treat to roll up to a campsite this beautiful after spending too much time stuck in the city.

Running around between classes, labs, and interviews this semester has been chaotic and I’m finally in the home stretch, but there’s no shortage of work to be tackled before I can fly home. So, in the spirit… Read More
It’s been almost a month since I last posted. In my own defense, it has been one busy month. I finished off the summer soaking up the Borneo sun, and before I knew it I was somewhere over the Pacific trying to delude myself into forgetting that summer was, in fact, over.
