It has been awhile since I last posted...long story short, Marc and I had a wonderful vacation back in the states and spent lots of time with family and friends. My underwater camera drowned during our trip to florida (seal on it leaked) so I didn't have photos to put up here...and so I never remembered to take the time and update. The camera has somewhat resurrected now, is sort of usuable, and I have my dad's old camera, so that is all remedied now.
School has started up, and it is wonderful to be back in academics. Well, an academic environment. I am not stuck in long lectures like marc, just afternoon long seminars. For now I am just putting together proposals, ethical review forms, and lit reviews. But the office Dr. Janik's postgrads share is beautiful; the view from my desk is amazing!
