Moving on to Bigger (not necessarily better) Things...

Jellies at the Aquarium!

My Summer Travels

I realized that I never concluded my seaside adventure. Here is my departing entry, summing up my last few days in Monterey and hinting at future things to come. I worked hard to finish everything up by Friday the 8th, technically the first day of finals, so that I could play! This made the weekend a lot more exciting.

On Friday evening, most of the Belden complex went out to dinner at Tillie Gort's. It was nice having everyone together. The next day I had a lovely time lunching with a family friend and exploring Point Lobos and cozy little Carmel. I must get out there again, some time! And then, of course, I had to hold a B-Break for the poor toiling Bio Core kids! Sunday was rather boring...I'm not sure what I did besides pack.

Monday, Laura and I went to the Aquarium!!! So much fun. Oh, and that night I baked again and packed! Tuesday afternoon, we went back to campus after a fiasco of a laundry morning! Anyways, after a couple of days on campus, talking to my advisor, going to the Earth Systems GPP (graduating persons party), I came home.

Now, I'm off on another adventure (boy I'm getting tired). I am leaving on Sunday for Madagascar, where I will be conducting botanical surveys on epiphytes. This is to compare the availability of a staple fall-back food item for the sifaka in pristine versus disturbed habitat. We'll see how that goes. So far, I'm just worried about packing everything and carrying around a few thousand dollars in cash! Yikes! I will finish that little expedition with a few days in Paris (an extended layover). I will not have access to internet, and so you will not be getting the exciting updates as you have for the past year. But, I promise an excellent 7 week summary!

I'm Still Alive!

Potluck Fun! John Steinbeck's House?

I know that you may all have been a little worried about me, since I haven't posted in ages, but here I am! Apparently the last time I wrote was May 28th...and not too much has happened since then. I went to in-house draw at East, got stuck in a one-room double with a random roommate, and now I'm on the waiting list for another house! I imagined senior year better than this!

Thursday was our Disney themed potluck! Granted everyone was really stressed for finals the next week, so it wasn't as wild and crazy as was hoped for, but still fun! Of course, my favorite part was Winnie the Pooh-zookie!

The weekend flew by; I had a lot of work. I still managed to squeeze in the farmer's market on Tuesday and a B-break on Wednesday. Finally, our presentations for the research class came on Thursday and I finished up my finals on Friday! Woohoo...Junior year is over. I'm not a...shhh...don't say the S-word!

Maintenant, je vaise regarder un film en francais!
