My very own laptop!

Today is a very exciting day because I have become the proud owner of a laptop. Yup, my first computer. This means I have no excuse for not blogging or emailing. My life is less exciting these days, though, because I'm just going through boring required seminars and workshops to get prepared for teaching and research. Classes start next Thursday for me. I'll be taking Advanced Ecology and a Grant Writing seminar taught by my advisor. I also have a "life as a graduate student" seminar all incoming grad students have to take. I'll spend the rest of the time working on my research ideas... trying to figure out what my project will be and when I'll start my field work. And that's what I'm up to...

By the way- happy belated birthday to Niles, Margot, Jared and Kendra!
