First night in Bozeman

I made it to Bozeman today. It was about a 7 hour drve from Boise. Luckily the weather was nice and my book on tape kept me entertained. Besides the motorcycle gang that surrounded me for about 20 miles and the carnival ride semi-trucks swerving around, the road wasn't too bad. The scenery doesn't get really awesome until after Idaho Falls, but then its brethtaking. The Tetons to the East, rolling green hills ahead, then the Gallatin River Valley with its rocky outcrops and meadows. There is still a lot of snow in the moutains and the lilacs are just blooming around here which makes me particularly happy as they are peetered out in Boise by now. I arrived at Hannon Hall on campus and got settled into my room. Its a little more 'dormy' than I expected but will do just fine, I'm glad I brought my own bedding.....the large window and wireless internet is a perk, shared bathrooms down the hall not so much. There is a nice lightning storm and heavy rain falling.....makes me feel a little more cozy all alone here with my cheese and crackers and beer. I'm excited to meet my classmates tomorrow and get my wildflower ID skills on! I'll try and figure out how to post some pics on here tomorrow.
