Light on a Lake

I went to college in Bemidji for my bachelors.  As I've mentioned Bemidji is about 2.5 hours from everywhere that is any where.  Don't get me wrong I adore Bemidji!  How can you not?  It is a lovely area, and a quaint town.  It's got character!  But even thought it has an awesome lake, none can compare to the one that Duluth has got.  I think it was my third year in Bemidji, when my roommate, my bestie, and I went to Duluth.  It was fall semester, 'cause Jess became my roommate the previous spring.  So the three of us piled in to my old Lincoln Town Car (named the Jonas Quinn II, but called the JQII, we all had a bit of a Stargate Obsession at the time, and I was madly in love with Jonas Quinn) and headed to Duluth.

Across the Globe: Thailand

This is the third post about my J-term in South East Asia.  Thailand!  Thailand was not my favorite place we went to.  I might have had a different opinion if we would have spent more time in places other than Bangkok.  Bangkok was ok, but it was LA on steroids or something.  It was way too big for my taste.  But we saw a lot of nifty stuff there anyways.  The coolest thing in my opinion was that at night, because of the temples and the lights, it looked like the whole city sparkled!

Across the Globe: Malaysia

Ok, since I did Singapore I guess Malaysia is next.  This one might be a two-parter.  We spent the bulk our our vacation class in Malaysia.  Primarily in Kuala Lampur.  Our stay was broken up by a short stint in the rain-forest.  I liked KL, it was a huge city, but very navigable.  It was not overwhelming in the least.

Across the Globe: Singapore

So my one study abroad experience took me to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.  It was a J-term while I was in Bemidji, I did get 6 credits for being, well, a tourist.  In fairness, I did have to take a course once a week before I went, I had to write a paper, keep a journal, and take a test.  So yeah, a tourist.

Oh Bemidji

So I got some time on my hands.  About a half an hour, anyways, class (yes, my super exciting intro to microcomputers) is going to start late... Not that that would have stopped my blogging.  I can multitask like nobody’s business!  So as I have alluded to I have returned to school.  I am now an accounting student!  This is exciting for me.  But I am still in my heart a Bemidji State Alum.  I studied poli sci there.  It was a glorious five years and the city of Bemijdi has one gorgeous lake to call its own.
