A beautiful sunset outside my window.I am!
Anyways so since the last post I have been very busy, the animal welfare forum was so good. It was a full day event. In the morning we had 3 speakers come in. The first spoke about the welfare of animals in the organic food industry. The lady who came in and spoke was from whole foods, which is an exclusively organic grocery chain. Basically the bottom line of the talk was that the welfare of organic animals in north america is lacking, but it's not quite the death pit most people make it out to be. Another speaker was from proctor and gamble's pet division. He spoke about the importance of different types of fiber in in dogs diets. The last speaker was a 3rd year veterinary student who had done work with vets without in Thailand. She spoke about the welfare of elephants in Thailand and how it differs so drastically from welfare here because of religion and culture. In the afternoon there were two more lectures. The first was comon surgeries, and what can be done to help prevent your pet needing it/ what the symptoms are. The other was how to better communicate with your dog.
Since the last post school has taken a hold, I had four tests in econ and 2 summaries and a paper in psych . Fortunately they were all the tests were online and not timed so i could use my notes and take as long as i needed. So it was more like 4 homework assignments.
Johanna and I have joined the rock climbing gym at school and we're having a blast with it. I'm not a huge fan of he walls but i really love bouldering.
On Saturday Jo and I headed out to XS cargo, which is a discout overflow/overstock store and we picked our selves up a DVD player for the apartment and a lovely roomba vaccuum. It's so nice to turn it on when you leave the house and come home to nicely vaccuumed floors. We've named ours Percival. We're strange like that. we name everything. Our plant in our kitchen is named Agador both of our computers have names. We're just strange like that :)
As always here are some lovely photos.

Hey,
So glad you put in a picture of "bouldering", I had visions of a room piled with rocks which you climbed over. Your version looks much more fun...and strenous!Good job cramming seminars, academia and fun into your schedule! Each holds an important place and you seem to have found a good balance. Hope to see you Thanksgiving!
