Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find? - Ridley Scott
This blog will act as an attempt to chronicle what is sure to be one of the most ridiculously confusing, interesting and wild years I've ever experienced.

By compiling a series of 365 black and white photos and accompanied text you're invited to follow along the ride of an undergraduate student with severe biophilia. This year will mark a year that I leave the continent, graduate from my Bachelors degree, start graduate studies, try to make heads and tails of life and and search for an elusive tiger beetle.

Feel free to post feedback, ask questions, and give suggestions. Hope that your 2013 is looking to be a wonderful, wonderful year.

07. Crummy weather for credit

When you're in school it seems that you have field trips on the crummiest days. Hurricane season? Let's go to the beach to study succession! Lightning storm? Put those hipwaders on, it's time to go sample for trout habitat. Freezing rain? Why not evaluate microclimate effect of evergreen trees.

Sometimes though, this is not the case. Today was one of those days. On a cool, but bright winter day we took our first measurements for a lab on cold dormancy for apple varieties. Continuing with the grand tradition of nice days, our lab lasted about 30 minutes, and I managed to take this lovely photo of my friend Susan enjoying the powder that we pushed through to get to the orchard.

Hope that everyone else is enjoying this beautiful snow!
