Back From the Dead

In case you haven't noticed, this blog has been void of new posts since St. Patrick's Day. Sorry about that. It would take too long to tell all the things I've done between then and now, so a short billeted list will have to suffice.

• Secured a job for summer semester - Thank you Dr. Hopkins!
  
• Finals - went well
• Computer broke during finals - not optimal
  
• Moved back to Idaho - living in paradise
  
• Went to North Carolina - my nephew is so cute!
  
• Went to Hawaii - I thought Idaho was paradise...
  
• Came back to Provo - so far so good

So that's pretty much it. I'll post pictures sometime. Maybe.

As of late I devote the majority of my time working. I work on the 2nd floor of the Widtsoe building. It's pretty legit to say the least. My top three favorite things are:

1. I get to wear a lab coat every day. (except for when we do field work outside, which is even better than the coat)
2. All the doors have keypads that unlock only after entering the secret password. And I can unlock all of them. And I do it nonchalantly, despite the fact that really I am celebrating a private victory inside.
3. All the people I work with are awesome to say the least. This makes my job especially fun.
   

My daily tasks vary depending on what needs to be done. It's always changing. Some days we go out to the farm and do field work, sometimes I do experiments in the lab, sometimes I'm a secretary; sometimes a maid; sometimes a TA. Right now I'm analyzing nitrous oxide samples with the Gas Chromatograph. Say that five times fast. Actually, I just did and it wasn't that hard...

Basically my job is a lot of hard work, but it's super fun. And I am just happy to have it :)
