The Summer is near...

Across the nation, college students are preparing and bracing for finals. Champlain is no exception either. So far, I have completed one course, and have four more to go. However, most of these exams are presentations of final projects, which is one thing I quite like about Champlain. Some courses offer varied challenging ways to test a student’s knowledge.

Fortunately, through thus turbulent time, I have discovered through a friend a very nice tennis court. The tennis court is at Leddy Park, on North Avenue. I’ve wanted to find someone to rally and play a few sets with since coming to Vermont. Additionally, this is the best weather to play – the sun is out and warm, but not hot enough to make it not enjoyable anymore.

So if you’re ever interested in a less winter-dependent sport, try tennis. Leddy Park’s tennis court is free of charge and has excellent lighting equipment for night sessions.

For me, once summer holidays begin, I will be off to Boston for a while, and then back to Hong Kong for the rest of my summer. I will return to Burlington again, of course. There are still 2 more years of studying to go!

Parkour Parkour!

As some might remember, I wrote a blog earlier on Red Rocks and Cliff Diving. Well this Thursday, I went to Red Rocks finally.
However, I wasn’t there for cliff diving this time. Instead I went there with two other friends for some trail blazing. Basically, it was a little of:



Of course, we went through the forest with slightly more efficiency and less stumbling. I personally never thought that Red Rocks would be so enjoyable, I encourage anyone considering a brisk walk (or “hardcore parkour”) to try Red Rocks.
On another note, I went to Bove’s this Friday and tried their pasta, and I will say that I definitely will be paying another visit. Their pasta is excellent and isn’t too pricey.
