This past week has been a wild start to the school year. My Environmental Contaminants class, which I was really excited about, ended up getting cancelled. I had the absolute craziness of trying to figure out what to take and was excited to see Environmental Chemistry. Going to class I determined that this was more of a class for engineers who don’t know a lot about chemistry… and I have a BS in chemistry. I ended up in a carbon cycling class and I think it is going to be wonderful.
I feel like I am already behind at the start of this semester, but I am excited to get into it. My classes are going to be good, and I am excited to engage with the material more. I can’t believe I am almost done with my master’s degree.
On a more personal note, I just wanted to give a mention to my niece doggy Nymeria. She had to be put down today and she was such a lovely girl. I just wanted to share some of my favorite pictures.

Goofy little blep
Wanted to get on the bed
Her majesty
Rest in Peace Nymeria, you are loved.
