Catching whiffs of summer time....

Summer is officially upon us, and the sunshine feels great. The sememester is over, and I'm finally done with multivariate statistics (which I got a B+ in. Go me.) I have to say though, I'm REALLY missing having a summer vacation. The fact that its summer and I have so much to do is just depressing. I have my committee meeting next wednesday, for which I need to edit my proposal and put together a powerpoint presentation. And then the IAGLR conference is the week after that. I still need to finish my poster for that, too. Arrrrg. Busyness. After that though, its all field work. I'm looking forward to that. Mor e sunshine.

Today, and for the next 2 days, is the Stream Restoration Workshop. Its been pretty interesting so far, and I'm learning stuff, which is always good. It helps that one of the main guys lecturing is hilarious. Today it was beautiful out, so we spent some of "class" outside. We also went down to the river, so at least we got outside. Its supposed to be rainy and stormy tomorrow, so it won't be so painful to be inside.

Last week, Jon, Dave and I went up to Michigan to scout out my study sites. Some of the area I'm working is looks like its right out of Pennsylvania, which is very nice. Minus the ~2 hour drive to the general area, its going to be great, I think/hope. I'd still like to find a couple more sites, but we'll see. There's so much to do.

So thats my life right now. With any luck, it will get a little more interesting.
