tic toc

Two weeks and counting. So much to finish up with before I head to the field. At least I go with a feather in my cap. I recently heard that I was awarded a fellowship for the next three years. Wooohooo. This means I am not required to teach, and thus can really get some stuff done around here.
If all goes well I'll return from the summer with loads of data, and with the extra time i can be uber productive.
The bummer is that it is FINALLY nice here in the great white north (okay, I know Indiana is not that cold, but give me a break I'm from Texas), and when i leave for the field I'll be going up mountain, which means back into the cold damp. sigh. But, at least in will be pretty.

Summer lovin

Holy crap.
Somehow it's already April. I have a month, one measly month before I go back into the field for the summer. Between now and then I have one test to grade, another to take, a model to build, permits to finalize, data to collect, and a talk to prepare. Not to mention determining exactly what it is I'm tackling this summer. Where does the time go?
