did i happen to mention...

...that i HATE community ecology, and that in general, school sucks right now? on the bright side i accomplished a lot with my data (re)-analysis today, i'm no john nash, but it's to the point where it may actually make sense (normal data is overrated, non-parametric tests rock). even though i was able to work in a couple enjoyable breaks (running out to the fish store is always entertaining, and brownies are definitely never a bad thing), i think the imposing cloud of research deadlines and analyses has loomed over everything in the past several weeks (kind of like 'the nothing' in the neverending story). after this friday's meeting i hope to have a much better perspective on things, so we'll see how that goes. until then (and maybe a little bit afterwards) i'll probably be a bit beside myself...after all, "it's too hot for a penguin to be just walkin' around..."

ok these journal articles are definitely NOT going to be read tonight...time to set the alarm for a good 2 hours earlier. to quote sarah (and even she realizes this is a horrible line, therefore i'm sharing it with you all) "peace out, eat trout" <:><

well it's not a trout, but a catfish will do. ah, the joys of field work...i miss it--
