I thought I would just let you all know what we've been up to lately. Lora is busy scrambling around the house packing for her field sites up north. She leaves tomorrow for Sydney where she will give a short talk to her lab detailing what she's been up to. She's a little stressed because she didn't have the longest time to prepare for it. However, she's pretty comfortable talking about her project and her PP presentation looks good. It even includes the picture of the 15ft python! Lora's assistant, Anna, arrives in Sydney on Thursday. It will be quite a relief for me knowing she's not alone in the woods. Not to mention Lora will have someone to help her collect all the mountains of data she normally collects on her own ... when I'm not suffering alongside her.
The sad news is that Lora and I haven't had the longest time together with her just getting home on Saturday from her last field site here in Tas. I was hoping to go up to Sydney for the weekend but school for me is hectic. I finished one course completely and have two others really close to be done. The last one just involves me writing up my methodology for my research project. I have a lot of it written up for my ethics application but need to take all the little bits and throw them together into a coherent single piece of writing. All that by the end of the month.
Lastly, our landlords came by today for a 6-month inspection of our place. Landlords have more rights here in Oz than tenants do. So of course we had to really do a "spring cleaning" of the place before they came over. It was the last thing we really needed to be doing with our precious time together. Nothing brings a couple together though like scrubbing a toilet bowl. They basically walked through the place and told us how we should be living in our place. They did not like the power cords and network cables for our computers. Pev said that fires start from computers and I about lost it as I calmly tried to explain that was bullshit! So I guess the electrician will be coming over to see if we are drawing to much power and causing a fire hazard. YEAH!
Hey Jim, I went and played nine holes of golf the other day. It was great. I still suck but we had the course to ourselves and the green fees were only 10 bucks!
Well I guess I'll sign off for now. Stay tuned for the next blog entry... Killer Bunnies!
