Getting my sanity back...maybe

The field course was fun. And very relaxed. The students choose very low-identification projects and thus didn't need much assistance in the lab...mostly just designing their projects and driving the different pairs to their study sites and I checked out the equipment. We were practically fighting over the chance to drop off or pick up a group of students. So I read a lot, went on some walks, went birding a couple times. After working so much for the last couple of months I didn't bother bringing any work with me so read a lot! I can't say enough about the phenomenal food we had while there...homemade soups, desserts galore, scones, lasagna, chicken, steak and mushroom pie...oh my! I've posted an album.

I've decided that I will absolutely not work on weekends for the rest of February (the last of summer). So for the first weekend, I went hog-wild at the farmer's market and then I tried out the physio pool on Saturday with a friend. It's 95F! It felt great on a cool day. I went to a barbie (bbq) at Rachel's on Sat night. Sunday I went to tunnel beach, this beach were some rich dude had a tunnel blown/carved out of the rock/cliff down to this tiny beach. A bunch of us went out for Mexican last night. Oh how I miss it! There's one place to go in this city and it's expensive. I had a plate of nachos with beef for $25! And that's without guacamole! Then we tried to go to "He's just not that in to you" but it was sold out! Crap. That was disappointing but we'll try again next Tuesday night (cheap night).

Not much else happening in my life but fish dissections, fish dissections, fish, dissections.
