I am not still in Ecuador

I might go down in history as the worst blogger to surf the blogosphere...ever. But life's been busy so what can I say. When I looked back at my last blog, those who may not know me would think I could STILL be in Ecuador...oops!! I had an amazing trip, that deserves an entire blog let alone an entire blog post and I will get to that.. one day. Probably next winter when I am really missing those islands more than ever. Other than that, the last 2 ish months have been busy.

I've done lots of things including officially designed my entire PhD project and am so, oh so close to the submission of my MSc manuscript. I finished my course in teaching and learning and have started the process of creating a teaching and learning discussion group for grad students and faculty in the fall. I registered for the oCUBE conference in May, which will focus on teaching undergraduate biology and I wrapped up (minus final exam marking) the courses I TA'ed this winter term. I have had a few fundraisers including Bowl for Kids Sake and Bowl for the Animals and have done some other fun stuff including curling, a cooking class, marsh monitoring and did my first ever guest lecture. I am exhausted reliving it all.

Now, within the next two weeks, my field season will be in full swing and I'll be doing field work for the next 5 or 6 months. I cannot wait to get outside and get my research underway.

I will be better at blogging. I promise!
