    December In Review

    What a way to close out the year! From mid-November to mid-December, I was in a permanent state of stress over university work (well, more so than usual). From my year abroad, I learned that you’re assessed much harsher in the U.K. than in the U.S. and you have assignments worth your whole mark. Even…

  • November In Review

    Another month come and gone, can you believe it? Monday was my last proper university lecture for the term, but I have to crunch down on a literature review, essay and practice grant proposal by the middle of next month. November was a big month for gigs. First, I saw Rise Against in London. I…

  • October In Review

    October was another massive one, I can’t believe this year is coming to a close so soon. This month, I properly started my lectures after a bit of timetable confusion. Normally, I only have two face to face lectures a week, but we’re expected to do a lot of work outside of class, especially in…

  • September In Review

    September was a whirlwind, where did the time go? I started off the month on holiday with my dad in New York and Washington, D.C. You can read more about my time there by following the links, but highlights included: The American Museum of Natural History, Kinky Boots and the Brooklyn Heights promenade and walking the Mall and walking…

  • August In Review

    This month, I did a few outreach weekends with work. The first one was the Southwest Wings Birding and Nature Festival in Sierra Vista, where I stayed the night (my first big girl business trip) and spent the weekend manning our booth. Traffic was slow, but our booth was near a bunch of live animals…

  • July In Review

    Work has been fine this month, I’m quite enjoying it! I do a lot of different things and my plans often change at the drop of a hat, so that always keeps things exciting. Aside from administrative things and errands, I did a few days of field work this month with Game and Fish. First,…

  • June In Review

    June started out landing in England after about a full day of traveling. A week into my trip, my boyfriend Dan and I broke up. It was hard at first, having to deal with the emotional side of things while also dealing with the logistics (picking up my stuff from his parent’s house in Oxfordshire,…

  • May In Review

    May In Review

    The first few days of the month were especially busy with finals and final projects due in, which all went well. That week, there was also a luncheon at one of my jobs to show appreciation for graduating seniors. Like myself, a lot of the staff members have been working at Gammage since their freshman…

    April In Review

    April was a mad one! Where did the time go? After a two weeks of exams and projects, I went home for Easter for my first full weekend off in ages. While at home, I did homework, hung out with my family and went out on the town for the first time with my best…
