uhh...

someone left a plastic bag on my doorstep this afternoon. Its contents are: a burned copy of the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack, a sports bra, and a tiny t-shirt that says Windsor on the front. I am hoping that someone got the wrong house and it isn't some sort of weird voodoo thing...

an owl!

Adrian and I saw an owl this evening in the backyard!

Remember when I said I was done with my mini-mester course? Well, I'm really not. The graduate students have to complete 10 short papers on 10 different plants that were assigned to us by Friday. I am not done with those. :( I can't seem to find all of the information that they want included in these papers. I spent hours in the library and hours searching databases and google scholar. I am considering just turning in what I have...it is only worth 45 points and I'm sure I'll get at least some points with the info that I currently have. I just can't spend anymore time on this. I want to start working on things more interesting (and more neccessary) - like my thesis. :( I hate turning in incomplete, low-quality work, but this is getting quite old and discouraging...

pilates!

Today, Amy and I went to our first pilates class! We will be going every Tuesday and Thursday night in June to strengthen, tone, and relax (hurrah!). :)

One thing I learned: we are supposed to be constantly holding our stomachs in! I have been trying it tonight - it's kind of hard and uncomfortable so I'm not sure how long I'll last...

honest or just dumb?

I am done with my mini-mester course (which was actually a pretty good course - I learned a lot). However, we did have to buy $140 worth of books. Since this is actually the official first week of summer session I, there was a possiblity that I could return my books and get my money back. But I don't know, I felt a bit dishonest about it. So, now I'm stuck with these two huge reference books of the Aquatic and Wetland Plants of the Southeastern United States. The're actually pretty nice reference books - I'm just unclear as to when I'll need to use them...
