I haven't updated in a while since I have been swamped with school work. I am taking 3 courses this semester and auditing another. Last Friday I had my departmental seminar. It is basically a 15 minute intro to my thesis in front of the department and serves as public speaking practice. I got some good feedback and feel satisfied with how everything turned out.
For my other two courses, I am trying to get as much of the work done for the semester as possible. It would be ideal for me not to take an incomplete in either of them, but that might not work out. So basically that means I won't have any real weekends to do anything fun until after I get back. I guess that is just the price I will have to pay to get to go on the trip. But I think it's worth it!
The boat is leaving next week from Charleston, SC. That means we are scrambling to get everything packed up that we will need while on ship. Dr. Yuter is taking a box of my stuff and stowing it on board, so I won't have to worry about taking on the plane. Pretty good deal. I can also leave anything on the boat afterwards, and will be able to get it in January when the boat makes its way back to Charleston.
One non-research thing I am pretty excited about is the Chilean wine. Heard it is phenomenal. I'll be sure to let everyone know if it's true.
That's it for now.
