Laramie, WY

 

A particular place that I have always felt drawn to is Laramie, WY. A lot of my family is from here, so we go out to visit them frequently. The climate and scenery have always been a nice contrast to hot and flat Oklahoma. The mountains in this area have always been a place of peace and calm for me. Peace and calm are rare these days, so it's times like this when I miss Laramie all the more. Particularly, Medicine Bow Park is a great source of scenery and fresh air. The view from the top is just simply majestic, and it's well worth the effort. Downtown Laramie by itself has its own charm as the state's college town, but the nature in and around Laramie has always been one of my favorite parts of the trek.

    Oh, this is great, Chris! My husband will be excited to hear that Laramie showed up as a favorite place; he lives there back in the 1970s and he still misses it (he reads the Boomerang link online, which means he's always telling me about the weather in Laramie, etc. ha ha). So, be warned: you might still be missing Laramie decades later! :-)

  Introduction Post What is your major? What is the coolest thing about your major? I am a Music Performance major, and the coolest part about my major is that I get to train to play in professional ensembles while developing my musicianship. What was the best class you took last semester? Why? The best class that I took last semester was Advanced Orchestration. It was a fun class because we got to analyze a few major works and understand why they work so well for orchestra.  What were your biggest accomplishments last semester? Between my senior capstone and honors research, I wrote about 60 pages and worked up two famous concertos. Favorite books, movies, TV shows — Best movie you saw recently? Best book you read? My favorite TV shows are Bojack Horseman, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and the Legend of Korra. The best movie I saw recently was Bandersnatch and the best book I recently read is Dragon Rider.

Week #5 Story: Rama Goes to Therapy

Rama Goes to Therapy: On the vahana  ride back to Ayodha, it was a tense environment. Rama and Lakshmana, with the help of the ape king Sugriva and Hanuman, had just rescued Sita. Upon rescuing her, she was thrilled to be reunited with her love but Rama had turned cold, for he doubted her fidelity and believed that she had slept with Ravana during her capture. Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana sat there in an awkward silence the likes of which had never been experienced by any of them before. Finally, in an attempt to cut the tension, Lakshmana spoke: "So, Sita? How are you holding up?" She sighed, "I'm okay. Though that was certainly not fun to be detained for so long. Thank you for rescuing me." She nudged Rama gently, who was holding the reins on the vahana . "Of course I would rescue you, Sita. You are my wife." Rama replied, though it seemed that his thoughts were diverted elsewhere.  They land in Ayodha and Rama is welcomed back with a true celebration b
