school day 01
in an attempt to make school more interesting, I'm going to try to update everyday with a brief list of things I did or things I learned. feel free to start a betting pool of how long this will last. : \
today I ....
+ replaced my non-working key to erml with a working key, so I can now get in the building before/after hours.
+ met with my advisor.
+ made an appointment with the head of the department.
+ learned that small fruits are defined as being a fruit that is not grown on a tree. so a pineapple is a small fruit while cherries are not. yeah.
+ learned that, while there are thousands of cultivars, there is only one species of european (wine) grape whereas there are at least dozens of species of american grapes.
+ decided that my group and I are going to do a presentation on pumpkin production in illinois (illinois is the largest producer of pumpkins in the united states, and 90% of processed pumpkin product come from illinois).
new list tomorrow (though I can't promise that it will be as "interesting" as I only have weed science on tuesdays and thursdays along with lab work).
