Thanksgiving adventures!
Hmmmm yes so it has been forever since my last entry. My only defense is I have been busy I guess. For those who don’t talk to me very much, I am currently home from VE and living in Southern California working at an outdoor school as a science educator. So basically I take 5th […]
Avila National Park!
11-9-06 Friday night the group of us went to Caracas to meet up with a “friend” of Javier and to go to a bar and hang out some. It ended up being a 20 mil cover charge (about 8 dollars I think) but that got us 6 drinks each of the foofy girl kind (none […]
Mini Course – finally LEARNING about the butterflies we kill
Back in IVIC I found that we do in fact have housing! We are staying in Casa #1 which is closer to the Centro de Ecologia where we have classes and work. It’s really nice, a little bit smaller and more personal than the last place, although there is no (easy) access to the roof […]
Salida #4 (para mi la ultima)
29-8-06 This morning early Javier, Tatiana, Sergio, Jose, a choffer, and I left to finish up several transects. The one that we did today was in the Llanos, near Villa de Cura. Basically a lot like the other llanos transects except not QUITE as muddy. Lots of scrubby vegetation and a few houses. We only […]
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!
Sooooooo…. this isn’t for sure yet, but it is looking more and more likely that I will in fact be RETURNING to the US on Sept. 25th, instead of staying here indefinately as I had hoped. This is largely due to all of my friends ganging up on me last night to tell me that […]

Schedual!
Ok, I have a tenative schedual for the next few monthes!!!! July 10th: Leave IVIC with half the class, and head west to begin sampling butterfly and dung beetle populations. We will be driving, then staying at various locations for 4 or 5 days each. For those of you not intested in biology, skip to […]
Classes have begun!
I have now completed two days of classes here at IVIC. I’m actually being able to understand nearly all of it! It helps a lot that they have a written outline on the projector and that he talks kinda slow because he’s lecturing. Also, I’ve heard most of this stuff before in one class or […]
