I was anticipating my new classes after finally declaring my new major in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/comm\/Pages\/default.aspx\">communication<\/a>, so this will be my final blog for CPS. I am in four communication classes this semester and no I cannot keep them straight; 16 credits seems like an appropriate load and so far I have not had an overwhelming workload.<\/p>\n<p>On top of the new classes and major, I also have a new roommate! My previous roommate and one of my best friends is spending this semester studying abroad in Spain, and yes I live vicariously through her pictures and stories. I thought it would be so different to live with someone else, but different isn&#8217;t always bad and I not surprised that we have already become good friends.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all the new positives, there&#8217;s something else that I came back to that I am not a fan of: the snow. Especially this past week, the weather has been pretty dreadful and the walk to class was not enjoyable. One thing I noticed though was people around me making the best of it. Students were building snowmen, playing games in snow shoes, and going sledding. So I attempted to make the best of the cold by snapping a few pictures of the pretty scenery on my walk back from class.<\/p>\n<p>Stay warm!<br \/>\nAlyssa<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uwsp.edu\/cps\/category\/students\/alyssa-d\/\">Alyssa Deem<\/a> is a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a long and busy two weeks getting back into the swing of things after a relaxing winter break.
