Celebrate, and don't freeze your toes
I went in to work today and guess what? The managers finally spelt my name correctly on the Day Sheet (where we see our day's schedule for breaks). About time, especially after 4 months? Even Ganga and EA were congratulating me. Somehow, they caught on with Chihoe-Ho-Ho-Ho nickname.. It feels like Christmas all over again!
Thursday saw me do my first field work with the Surface & Groundwater Ecology Research Group after spending the last semester in the lab. We drove all the way to the west of Toronto, a good two hours from campus. It felt weird being in the countryside on a school day, yet it was calming to see farms, horses, and cattle out in the open (in the cold and with the snow). Despite wearing the long, green, field boots, my toes were numb with pain from standing in the intermittent stream most of the time. At least I now know what's to come for the next trip out.
An essay time-bomb is ticking in front of my face, and yet I'm not motivated to work on it. I say, when the time comes..
