It has been an interesting weekend. I feared it would be unproductive but it wasn't as bad as I thought. While Saturday was mostly a write off I can proudly say that I accomplished everything I needed to today. I finished my manuscript edits for a meeting tomorrow and even set up all of my interviews for the new fall lab assistant. This week will be a busy one... trying to get my experiments ready for their next stage (the Roundup stage) and still working on that seed collection. I now have roughly 8 species I am confident I have 50,000 seeds of. Processing them has proved to be a lot of work and I am very lucky to have all of this help into the fall.
Those of you who use R know.. that program is brutal. Coding might be the worst thing in the world. I spent most of today fiddling around with R trying to try some different stats for my paper. I forgot how close to a nervous breakdown you get when you use that program. I am trying to sort through my seeds now and I am not sure I am getting anywhere. I have SO many bags and no idea where to start... I will leave that task for another time! At least I have Blake Shelton singing sweetly to me to get through the day!

A peek at what seed processing involves... breaking
