I’ve spent the past week in State College waiting for my visa to be processed in Korea before I can officially get my visa from the Korean Consulate in the U.S.
Saw Michael Moore’s new flick, Capitalism: A Love Story. I went mid-afternoon so the theatre was pretty quiet, but overall I thought the documentary was excellent. Disturbing at how incredibly screwed up our financial situation is, not to mention the government/wall street connections that got us to this point. It was an eye-opening film. It’s very easy, especially when visiting a place like Happy Valley
Today’s weather was amazing so I did something that I never did the entire five years I was here; I hiked Mt Nittany. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a hiking partner, so I embarked solo. It’s an easy climb and everything is well-marked so I wasn’t too nervous to go by myself. I was aware of my surroundings the entire time and kept to the marked paths, plus the entire mountain has cell service which is a comfort.
For those who have climbed Mt Nittany, I took the 6-mile Blue Path. For those who haven’t, DO IT. It’s an easy hike and a Penn State
I only came across three couples during the 2 ½ hours I was hiking, but I ran into a thousand chipmunks. I could have sworn there was the same one hiking with me, so I started taking pictures when I could. Definitely not the same chipmunk- although, it would have been a sweet Disney-type moment if I had my own chipmunk to explore with.
All-in-all, having a great time in State College , even going to the PSU game this Saturday. I’ll keep checking my email waiting for the visa and in the mean time I’m going to have fun doing fall activities in a place where autumn is absolutely amazing- Happy Valley.
