So, I have finished one of my papers, sort of... I have written all 5,000 words of my stustainable landscapes paper (which is on urban parks), but I have to wait for some feedback on the first 2000 words, and change what they suggest. Interesting thing I learned while researching for this paper: Minneapolis has one of the best parks systems in ( Read more... )

Hello everyone! So the last week has pretty much been a good one. There was a lot of time spent on writing a paper, which wasn't so great, but it feels good to have it done. I've got 2000 words of it done, and another 3000 to go. I've got enough research done for about 1000 more words, and I know what I'm going to write, it's just a matter of ( Read more... )

My apartments suck. Ok, so the apartment doesn't suck, but the management does. Since the beginning of March they have been having so many difficulties with the internet, it's ridiculous. It was really slow, and it would only let you onto some sites. At the beginning of this month they finally got it fixed, and everything was running pretty ( Read more... )

So the birthday weekend went pretty well... Saturday night was the night for celebrating. We started out by me, Cam, Josh, and Roxanne going out to dinner at a place called University Cafe. The food wasn't all that good and the service was TERRIBLE. But whatever. While we were eating, Robin walked by, so she came and sat with us for the rest ( Read more... )

I must say that I did pretty good, but I still spent all of Wednesday on homework as well. Other than when I had to be in class of course. ( Read more... )

While the first global environment metting of the elite was taking place in Stockholm in 1972, the first grassroots ecology movement was ( Read more... )

Hello all! So this last week has been a little crazy, and there has been a lot to do. Classes are in full swing now. Lots of reading to be done, and now I have to start thinking about what I want to do for my papers. I hate thinking of paper topics, usually it's the hardest part about writing papers. Once I know more about environmental issues ( Read more... )

I know, I know, I know, it's been forever since I've updated. But I am going to argue my case. 1) Lots of computer problems. It's really really really slow, and therfore it craps out before it uploads my post. Also there was a good week in which I just didn't have any internet at all. 2) School started, I actually have things to do other than ( Read more... )

It was brought to my attention that none of you could see my Sydney pictures. I did put them up, but I forgot to make them public. They are now public and you should be able to see them. Sorry about that!
