Edjamucation

I've learned a good many things this past week:

1. Chicken poop is the death of the Chesapeake Bay. More or less. Maryland seriously needs to watch its chicken output, haha! This is what I'm focusing on for my policy research project. Let's just say Maryland poultry farmers are feeling rather henpecked by environmentalists. (har har)

2. Wood isn't just for woodchucks. I am not that bad with wood carving. Here's to yet another art hobby I'll do for a good five or six months and buy all the supplies for, and then hang it up for a long time.

Yep, I actually made this woodcarving relief, believe it or not.

3. Printers are extraordinarily stupid. I am fed up with mine. PRINT, LAST PAGE OF MY POLICY PAPER, WHY DON'T YOU??!!

4. I do remember how to write analyses of poems. Hooray! I just need to remember the difference between anthropomorphism and personification. Silly me!

5. I CAN cook fish! Who knew?

6. It's rather ironic though cooking fish again right after you've basically killed fish larvae while doing lab research. Isn't the cycle of life funny?

7. I love taking naps in the sun. SO MUCH! Apparently, I can fall asleep on a wood bench under the bright sun overhead faster than I can fall asleep in a bed.

8. I realize all that I will really remember in life are the good times I've had with friends. Not what homework I had. Or what I had to read last night for class. I will remember and cherish the memories of pick-up games of ultimate frisbee while wearing a HUGE pirate hat, slowly realizing no one else is wearing anything silly, like we had planned. I'll always remember ditching my homework in favor of making dessert waffles smothered in nutella, hershey's syrup, peanut butter, sprinkles, jam, almonds, and god-knows-what-else, and sitting down with everyone, squished tightly on a couch, laughing over the teen angst in "Breakfast Club," but still so close in age, we can remember what it was like.

9. And my printer is still being an idiot. This thing is due at 9am tomorrow. What to do??

10. I WILL get things done! I WILL update you on PNW before heading off to Louisiana on Monday! (SO EXCITED!!!)
