So . . .
A lot has happened in the months that I haven't posted. There's no particular reason why I haven't posted, but I've been super busy.
Most of you probably know that I was in Bhutan for two weeks starting Februrary 29th and ending March 16th. That was a ton of fun, but also a ton of work. We presented several presentations to both the Royal Government of Bhutan and Sherubtse College. The most fun part, obviously, was going to the college and meeting all the different Bhutanese students. Everybody was extremely kind, the food was amazingly good, and the scenery was even better. On top of that I was able to find an amazing friend in the department. We had known each other before but we didn't know each other well b/c he was hardly around as a phD student and all, but we actually were able to interact on the trip. Plus our situation pretty much made it impossible not to become good friends.
So, once I got back I had a ton to work on, between applying for grad school and catching up with papers and such. But, I got into graduate school, no problem here at UNCG, and I've decided to stay. I have my foot in the door here, especially with some interesting research projects. Plus my friends are here, and my friends are thusly my family at this point. And, I've signed a lease here in NC.
I'm pretty much in ZOMG I'M GOING TO DIE mode. We have a ton of activities going on with Geo Club...There's the GeOscars next week, along with the picture party, and you know what else is next week? EARTH WEEK! YAY! Lots of papers to complete, etc.
So, I just wanted to update everybody. I hope that everybody's doing well! I'm pretty drained, soooo I'll just talk to everybody later ^.^
