I'm BAAACCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey y'all. It's been FOREVER since I last posted on my blog and the reason for that is that I have been insanely busy with schoolwork. I have to write so much for classes that I never feel like finding something to write about in my evenings. However, I'm bored right now and decided to write a post.

So some interesting news, I am staying here in Maine this summer because I recieved a research fellowship. My project is recording the vocalizations of the Harbor seal pups that some through MARC. I will then examine the vocalizations and see how they change over time in each individual. Moreover, I will be looking to see how unique each pup's calls are, what's the same between all pups and what varies. I might also look to see if behavior changes their calls or if they recognize their own vocalizations. It will depend on the time and data that I can get. It should be LOTS OF FUN and I can't wait to get starts. Thursday, I am going to practice recording some vocalizations from a couple Harbor juveniles, Grey seals, and a Harp seal. :)

Some othe exciting news is that I bought myself a new laptop yesterday (though I wouldn't get it until the beginning of May)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a Dell Inspriron and really cool looking. I can't wait to have it because my current laptop is a complete idiot. The keyboard doesn't work half the time and it freezes at the click of a button. Half the time I feel like throwng it out window. :) It has lived so far, but we'll see when I get my new one. MUUUHAAAHAA!!!!!!! MUUUUHAAAHAAA!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm going to go back to watching Gilmore Girls, which is one of the greatest shows ever and completely hilarious. Now we own all 7 seasons. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!

I'll try posting in less than three months. lol. In the famous words of my brother: peace out, beansprout.

"That's All Folks!"

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

Charles Dickens' opening line to 'A Tale of Two Cities' certainly holds true. For what you ask? Well it definitely captures my thoughts of the beginning of the movie G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. Does that surprise you? Well let me explain...

In the beginning of the movie,  a team of American soldiers is escorting newly developed weapons. Along for the ride are a couple of AH-64 Apache Longbows. [If anyone is not familiar with the Apache, it is the most awesome and kick butt attack helicopter out there. I'm completely obsessed with them. I have two Apache t-shirts, a giant Apache poster, an Apache sign, Apache magnet, and Apache postcard. :) lol]. That would be the best of times. Then sadly enough the two Apaches are blown to pieces. Cue the crying. That would be the worst of times. :( :( :( :( :(

AH-64 Apache Longbow

The best attack helicopter

That's really all I have to say for tonight. Hopefully I will post again soon (but we'll see. I might be the worst blogger out there. lol).

"That's All Folks!!!"

Psalm 108

       "My heart is steadfast, O God;

                         I will sing and make music with all my soul. 

                    Awake, harp and lyre!

                        I will awaken the dawn.

                    I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations;

                        I will sing of You among the peoples.

                    For great is Your love, higher than the heavens, 

                       Your faithfulness reaches the to the skies.

                   Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

                        and let Your glory be over the earth."

                                         - Psalm 108:1-5
