This week was thankfully much more eventful than last week. Monday I finally got word from my advisor about registering classes and my advisor took care of it. It's not my ideal schedule for sure, but at least I finally got all classes I needed. That morning I went to do observations all morning. In the afternoon I went with Matti on a game count. We saw an ard wolf and a bat-eared fox! It was surprising because normally you see those much later at night and we s...

This week I had to register for classes for Fall term this year. I got to work early to do it Monday morning only to find that I still hadn't received an e-mail from my advisor with my PIN to register. Meg and I spent the morning sorting cheetah poop for the genetics lab. We were a little annoyed because after sorting them by date into the bins we were then told they needed to be put into other bins. Had we known that we would have put them there in the first pla...

Meg and I had a lot of fun fee...

He found both signals and at one point we were about 500m to 1K from one he thinks, but we can't go by foot through the bush to find them. Nevertheless it was a pleasant drive a...

Things haven't been the same with Allie gone. It certainly is quieter for sure. Meg hasn't been feeling well for a while and it seems to be getting worse. Many people here have all been having some sort of stomach problems that come and go. One person was in the hospital for a couple of days, another was just given some antibiotics, and another was told they had roundworm. No one really knows for sure what it is. Monday Meg just stayed in bed the whole day bec...
