i have discovered that there are dead animals in the freezer in the back of the lab, including one beaver. the rest are wrapped in newspaper and are unidentifiable. the reason i discovered this is because the freezer is broken and now melting all over the floor, which means the dead animals have begun to thaw. i hope they fix it soon, before the bio floor reeks of dead carcass.

i am writing a paper on orcas for my boreal ecology class. they are so cute i love them so much. this is a picture i took in alaska, and i want to hug the baby orca. i kinda wish i didn't really have to write a paper at all about them, but at least they are fascinating to me.

3 days and counting till i go home!

i can't wait to go home.

i miss my family. i miss my animals. i miss my boyfriend a LOT. i miss sleepy summer days and crazy nights. i miss the beach and being barefoot.

josh came to visit this past weekend, which was a-maz-ing. i love that boy so much. we went to a drive-in theater and to buffalo and to red lobsterrrrr and played outside at the waterfalls and threw the disc and ate waaay too much food and just plain went crazy.

i've already read seven books this summer, and finding another one is eluding me. any suggestions?

i am in the middle of planning an escape route for the frogs stuck in my window well. their plight is sad but real, and i am trying to help.

the adventure begins.

i love my kitty. mmeeeerrrrwwwwww. he gets a strange satisfaction from attacking the grass.
