I'm a bit behind in my reading, so I really don't have anything that will really get you fired up today. If that's why you're reading... sorry. The weather has been too great and the homework assignment too long. Weather-wise, it ranges from 55 to 68... from 5-9 in the AM there is not much wind, and then it picks up during the day as the air over the land warms and rises. Sunday morning I went for a 3 hour run, walk, sit excursion... I'd jog for a while, then sit down and watch the ducks and cranes land and take off... they're really fun to watch. When they begin to take off, their wings flap against the water creating a clapping sound... the clapping becomes less and less as they begin to get lift. And when the land, they throw their head back and put out their webbed feet... for just a second they look like they are water skiing.
I'm plotting a hydroponics garden... I think that I can grow vegetables in my bedroom this winter, and having a little fresh produce in January will be worth the effort. Hydroponics means that it will be water-based rather than soil based... which means 1) I won't need any dirt, and 2) the plants will grow and produce much faster than if they were in dirt. It's also a bit challenging to find the things that I need -- when I went to the garden store on Saturday and asked if they had any seed, they looked at me like I was crazy... the only thing they had was blueberry seed... since you plant them in the fall. I've tried to order seed from a place in the UK, but they are not responding to my online order nor my email... so I'm not sure where that leaves me. Guess I'll have a nice little fountain if I don't have a garden...
Ok. I'm going to go read now... have two chapters in our textbook and 7-8 articles to read this week, and my calendar is filling up quickly with extracurricular activities and extra group discussions.
