break buffoonery
The herd got up to all sorts of shenanigans over winter break. Here are some of the highlights!
- Addison Bass went home to North Carolina and took some curling lessons. Call her a Midwestern dad!
- Lauren Fligge went to Arizona and climbed a mountain!
- Alice Hegeman, Jordyn Jarvi, Stephanie Rathkamp, and Claudia Salgado enjoyed a snowy run together and finished it off with some delicious looking pancakes!
- Claire Miller slept.
- Nathan Phillips did nothing.
- Dasha Vorontsov spent most of winter break studying for her personal training certification, passed her test, and is now waiting on her first client! Any takers??

Moments with milkerz
Moooooo, Cows! I hope you had a moo-tiful return to class. This week, I struggled to log back into Canvas. Duo Mooble is my least favorite part of UW-Madison. On Tuesday, I bundled up for cow-lasses and learned lots in my lectures. This weekend, I decided to skip all of my readings for next week and hang out with my favorite human Cows instead. Check out this cool picture of me with my mom and dad! See you next week, and until then I am,
Moodily,
Milkerz
