Total Hours: 11.5


I flew back from Tennessee this day, so I had little time to do any work. I spent most of the day caring for Edie while everyone was packing the house up, and then we left around noon. However, on my first flight home, I did a little bit of sketching from the photos I had on my camera roll. Since I forgot most of my art supplies at home, earlier in the week, my mom and I bought some notecards and pens for me to draw on. So, my art from this trip is all on note cards, and my art from the hike will also be. In my typical fashion, I drew some flowers, and the flight attendant thought they were really cool, so I got some nice compliments and a couple of questions. She asked how long I'd been drawing, and she was somewhat surprised to find out I was in highschool still. That has been happening more frequently, and it incites a little existential crisis each time because it makes the fact that I'm graduating really real.

Day 1

May 8, 2023 — 9:06 P.M.  Work Period: 1:00 P.M. - 6:00 P.M. Today’s Hours: 5 Total Hours: 5  Kailee Skinner, Romy Smith, and myself will be spending our senior project planning and executing a 5-day and 6-night camping trip by ourselves. Originally, we hoped to hike in the Presidential range of the White Mountains on the Appalachian trail, however, for all the rain we've been receiving in Andover, the Whites have been getting snow. So, we are rerouting and hoping to get that nailed down tomorrow after meeting with Rosanna for lunch. Today, we decided to work at my house because I had most of our pre-collected food. So, once we arrived, we collected all the food and materials we had and took inventory. Then, we wrote out our meal plan and got to work on creating a shopping list, all while jamming out to banging tunes courtesy of a speaker I stole from my brother. After we finished the list, we hopped in Kailee's car and made the long (5-minute) arduous (incredibly easy) journey

Week 2 Reflection

 May 22, 2023 — 2:35 P.M.  Total Hours: 110 This week has been a rollercoaster, emotionally and physically, if you count our changes in elevation. It started very fast, and I felt like I was being bounced around between a million different things, but once we got out there and began our trip, I finally caught up. We started with a curveball, being dropped off a day into our trip–we got dropped off just before our second campsite–and then having to cross a river that we almost fell in multiple times. But we kept going because there was nothing else to do until we got cell service. Then, it started snowing on us, and we got our second curveball; we couldn't stay on the top of a mountain if it was gonna be -2ºF, so we adjusted our route. Instead of going up and over Moosilauke, we stayed at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, run by the Dartmouth Outing Club, and escaped the freezing night. And it was still not smooth sailing from there; the next day, we met a through-hiker who told us that
