Well I know I start off all of my statements saying that my weekend went fast, and I'm sure that any MSU student could attest to that, but let's get into what went down this weekend in the life of Braeden Hogie. My Friday started off strong, I went to my Introductory Chemistry class at 10 am, now this is my only class for Fridays, which is pretty nice being as I am done with class so early. After class I went to do office hours for MSSA (Student Senate). After my office hours I went to eat lunch at Carkoski Commons. I really enjoy the food at the cafeteria, and I would strongly recommend that incoming students get a meal plan that is similar to their eating habits. I have the Maverick Anytime meal plan just for the convenience factors. That meal plan allows me unlimited access to the dining hall from 7 am to 7 pm, which is nice and allows my eating times to be flexible. I also utilize the wonderful to-go program that the dining hall provides. It is nice because I can take some food back to my room with me and study, or save some food for later on in the evening when I want a snack.
I decided to make a little road trip to Winona, Minnesota this weekend to see a friend that I had not seen in awhile. One thing that I enjoy about Southern Minnesota as a whole is the fact that there are so many beautiful bluffs, hills, and rivers. The terrain is gorgeous! I had the opportunity to go cross country skiing with my friend this weekend. Even though I was not the greatest skier, I had a blast. I know that one great thing about living in Mankato is that we are so close to several parks and nature areas. We have cross country skiing here, we have multiple State Parks in the area, and they are a very nice place to go and get away from the "city life". Mankato has a great balance being a medium sized city by Minnesota standards, it has more developed areas within the city and just a mile or two down the road, you wouldn't even know there is a city that close to you, and you feel so remotely located.
That's my blog for this Monday. I hope everyone has a great week!
Until next time,
