PICS
So it's finals week and as soon as that is over I'm flying to SC to spend the holidays with the fam 
. Not sure if I'll be able to blog from there because they are crazy southern baptists and god only knows how many blockers they have on their internet. But don't worry...I'll be thinking of you 
So in worm news land...My prof is going to keep working with me even though I'm not signed up for credits (which means she's not getting payed for it) on my cave worm project. We are taking it a HUGE step forward and she wants me to apply for a grant so that when the cave opens up in May we can do some stable isotope analysis and a survey to see if the worms are only in the cave or also in the surrounding area. LOTs of work to be done between now and May but it's pretty exciting.
on the bad news front I didn't get into the Notre Dame summer program at UNDERC.
but there are lots of other summer programs I'm going to be trying for. Hopefully I will have lots of field, research, and lab experience by the time I graduate. Which I will really need for when I'm applying for very hard to get into programs at UPenn and Harvard

Hey hey! Good luck with the grant applications... It's always some sort of russian roulette, but let's hope you get it!
In any case, I look forward to hearing all about your analysis!!
*mode scientist OFF*
Good luck with the internet access in your family! Have a nice christmas there anyway

Best wishes for finals, the worm project and the summer job. I suspect you'll end up kicking some serious ass.
