I've still got it. What a relief!

"It" being the ability to be a good student. I was afraid that after two years in the real world I'd go soft and all my smarts would be replaced with mental snapshots of plankton. Fortunately, that seems to not be the case. I got the highest grade in the class on the first exam in the ecology course of death. I also impressed a few people with my NSF research proposal. That whole application is done (provided that my letters of recommendation get sent), so I can breathe easy there.

Nothing too interesting on the horizon, just doing my thing. Looking forward to Thanksgiving, I guess?
