Long Quarter & Neglected Blog

Well this sure has been a long quarter, one of the most difficult classes I have taken- bioestadidistica (I like the spanish name cuz it sounds like sadist) & then another that was one of the most ambiguous- in terms of grading & clarity of assignments anyway. I did get a lot out of both but spent lots of time frustrated at the same time= also lots of time at Peak's. I actually felt like I did a better job of starting assignments early but ironically it only prevented me from drowning & did not prevent some gpa dings. Now I get to start working on a poster about some of my REU work this quarter & work on some data analysis/ write up of my summer work, as this hasn't got done by itself.

But for more entertaining things- here's a shout out to the lovely Cynthia Rossi, who has joined us on the lovely Olympic Peninsula & is currently freezing in this most beautiful of weather. I made her acquaintance at my favorite jungle research station where she had been living for a couple years & doing GIS work, now she is out here working for the Makah. I met up with her & Scott & we made a most entertaining trip to Sam & Erin's this weekend, it was a little alarming when our late pm approach was met by a bumping house with flashing lights visible through the window, wasn't really prepared for a dance party extravaganza, who knew one could dance in fleece.
