oof

The semester's done - I've officially survived my first (academic) year of grad school (not counting the summer yet) - yay! It was a somewhat arduous semester, anyway, so I'm glad it's done. The last couple weeks without classes haven't been much better in terms of busyness - it's a scramble to get everything done before we leave for the field season.

Speaking of which, in about 6 days from now, I'll be leaving for Key Largo for a month to help another grad student on their project. This project involves SCUBA and slugs - score! I'm excited, albeit a little frantic with finishing projets and packing and taking care of paperwork before I go. Please pray for sanity and serenity and that everything will get taken care of. Also please pray for a close relationship with God while I'm away because I likely won't have a chance to go to work. I may be out of contact during this time as well, so if I don't respond to you promptly during that time, that's why.
