This weekend, I went on a hike to Otter Falls. Other than the last 1/2 mile or so to the waterfall, it was a very easy hike. And the waterfall was awesome. The hike was about 9 miles round-trip and took us about 6.5-7 hours. Granted, it would have been faster if we didn't have an 8-month-old and an almost-3-year-old with us, especially since ( Read more... )

Happy birthday knova!

After book 3 or so, they got far too ( Read more... )

It's funny that I don't update my journal when I'm not at school and supposed to be working ( Read more... )

I finished my group presentation this morning, which means I don't have to deal with my obnoxious/useless group members anymore. Also, our presentation went well - my group members didn't get any important details wrong or leave anything major out, and my labmate and I explained the important stuff. Also, our system was one of the hardest that ( Read more... )

Today is my iguana's birthday. Indie is 7 years old. She's getting a banana tonight.
