Nom
I'm at work, where's it's been lonely for the past week and a half because my entire lab is on vacation and I'm not : ( I could just leave, but there's nothing to do at my house really, and here at least I get to feed and clean the 'stella and work on my poster with minimal distractions.
Hmm, I haven't done this in forever. Last time was when King House caught on fire. The house I'm living in this summer hasn't caught on fire yet, but part of my ceiling did fall in. Oops. The bathroom on the second floor has been making my ceiling leak, and I guess the pressure of all the collecting water up there caused the ceiling to fall to relieve some pressure.
I don't know what to write! I'm almost done with my summer fellowship, and then I guess I'll go back home for a couple of weeks before school starts again. I think I'm going to work with invertebrates for the rest of my life, or that's how it's turning out so far. I'm going to TA Invertebrate Zoology next semester, and if Casey gets his Mollusk grant from the NSF, $10,000 will certainly make me want to work with them for the next two years. This phylogeny stuff that I've been doing is pretty neat, but I don't think I ever want to do the analysis of all the raw data...too much computer stuff I would have to learn. Maybe I'll study jellies and how quickly they are taking over everything. Or Cuttlefish, I'm still enamored with them. I really just want to do a lot of field work, that would be ideal. Community ecology maybe?
Who knows, but I've been thinking about the future a lot lately, what I want to do, who I want to be with, where I want to be, etc. Somehow I need to find a dog for myself that is as good as Shiloh...which means that I'll have to live in a place where my dog could run free, Shiloh is so spoiled in that respect. He's almost 13 1/2, which is getting fairly old for a dog. However, he's made a near 100% recovery from when he got run over, which is amazing. Apparently my parents were very close to putting him down (I did not realize that at the time!), but they instead opted for super expensive surgery because he had such a high quality of life before and was in such good shape. I'm incredibly grateful that they did, because I feel like he'll be around, happy and healthy, for the next couple of years. Good doggie.
Okie, that's all, I think.
