Im Alive

Although I have not been the best blog contributor, I have rather enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I just got back from a fabulous trip to Europe (plenty details and pics on our blog- more than you would ever want to see) and am back to the real world. I am just getting around to finally cleaning about 5 months of dust around our place and catching up on all the things I neglected during the whirlwind of last semester. It is SO nice to wake up and not have any papers or stats homework hanging over my head.  Anyway, I won't start my project and fieldwork until the end of June, so until then I'll continue to read about all that you are doing.  Good luck to you all and I look forward to updates.

I heard Dr Page was your roomie for a few days- very cool.  We also drove through the Mont Blanc tunnel and I am still made about the 35 Euros we had to fork over... lame
