hey kids,
so this week has been a bit stressful but of course we do the unwinding right. This week we had to turn in our preliminary proposals and be interviewed about them. My initial idea was a straight behavioral study but the professors think that may be too difficult, so they want me to study more bites and distinguishing scars and look at site fidelity and possibly behaviors. I'm so excited. I actually feel like a biologist. No one else has done anything on pink whiptails, Himantura fai, and it's definitely something I could follow up with later, may be an easy transition for a phd study subject. It's strange the whole, I am graduating and I am actually beginning to feel worthy of the biologist title. I am just so happy I have the opportunity to do this. I am very lucky.
The end of the week was my good friend Sarah's birthday. We partied like it was 1999 (we are both prince fanatics and we are fo sho going to the prince versus mj dj battle in sf when we return cause i will be 22221111111). It was an awesome night. I wound up getting a minor concussion, true to form of course. In my defence I was quietly sitting, watching people eat my baked good when half a curtain rod came undone and swung down and slammed into my head...it was solid wood and 100% not my fault thank you much.
Last night we were so lucky and got to have a tahitian feast. All local food and it was amazing. We then tried tahitian dancing, which was amazing...I have never seen hips move so fast!!! We get lessons tuesdays and thursdays so when I get back WATCH OUT I will be a tahitian dancing machine. It was a lot of fun, despite the diziness and throbbing head ache. I am a bit tired today because I have been being woken up every hour by my lovely friends who volunteered to make sure I don't pass out. But again, that is what I have to complain about? IM IN MOOREA DOING WHAT BIOLOGISTS DREAM OF.
did I meantion I am in heaven?
