Winter is on its way...

We got our first snow today.  It had melted off the roads by the end of the day, but is still sticking around on some of the plants.  Good thing I got a new pair of snow boots when I was in Anchorage last weekend!  I also had stream trips with two classes today. All the kids were hyped up on snow excitement, a short school week, and the mayhem of Halloween. In addition to my new snow boots, they put studded tires on the car I usually drive today, so don't worry Mom.  I will stay safe in the snow.

In other news, starting tomorrow, I will be the only person living in the bunkhouse which is kinda sad.  To keep me company, though, my office just bought a new 42" plasma tv for the bunkhouse (yay stimulus package?).  They didn't really buy it to keep me company, but I am pretty excited about it since I figured out how to hook it up to my computer.  I'm also excited because I took the GRE last weekend, so I no longer have the nagging feeling hanging around the back of my mind telling me I should be studying.  Now, I just need to figure out if I am going to go to grad school and what for and when and where. No problem, haha.
