The new quarter has started. Well... on Tuesday, so this is a bit behind.
I was freaking out in the beginning, but I've begun to settle back into things. I feel like it's going to be a pretty insane quarter as far as the amount of time I'm going to be spending on things. Two real classes - Biological Oceanography and The Climate System - which both have term papers and problem sets, one of which has a midterm and a final. TAing - teaching 4 sections! Yikes. Plus, Jim still has me reading papers and all that good stuff. And this might actually be the quarter when real work begins. Wouldn't that be shocking?
In other, but related news, there is going to be a new graduate student next year. A Rachel Brown. Don't really know anything about her, but it's strange to think that I won't be the baby anymore. I'll be one removed from the bottom rung! Somebody may come to me for advice, answers, etc. Crazy, right? Kind of makes you feel sorry for her! Hahaha.
Oh, AND, I got more info on the China trip. It's going to be interesting. There's so much stuff going on during the conference. Tons of talks, poster sessions, field trips, etc. There are some really neat tours that I'd love to do, but I'm not sure how much time I can spend doing the stuff. Although, perhaps I can extend my trip a bit to check some of the stuff out. I don't really know how this stuff all works. Heather and I plan to ask Jim about it tomorrow at our impromptu lab meeting tomorrow.
Hm... and since school is basically my life I don't really have much else to talk about. Hm... Tragic...

Real work! That IS shocking. Maybe Jim will actually remember what kind of work he gives you!
...or maybe not. Hahaha!
