Time's a tickin'

Wow.. I have so little time to figure out exactly what I want to do in life.

I have to figure out soon (within the next two weeks) how I want to spend next year. And by this I mean which lovely professor I shall be doing an honours thesis with. Of course there have been many reasurances that "everyone gets a placement" , but it may not be one of your top choices, since its a very competitive program.

I assume that only a handful of professors get about a million emails asking then to be supervisors, while the rest get only a few, and wait for those students who weren't assertive enough, to fall into their laps. Being one of these less assertive students myself, who didn't volunteer at any labs, nor talked to professors much ahead of time, I may just have to settle for a thesis that doesn't necessarily interest me outright. Although I do have hopes that I'll learn to enjoy what I do no matter who I am placed with :)

On a lighter note, once this is over I can relax and try to concentrate on finals/ finding a job for the summer/ volunteering in some sort of lab/ starting my thesis! *phew those sound much less stressful*

Also there is my field course to the Bahamas in August (I got my first pick of places) to make me feel better! :) Gonna be on Harbour Island looking at "Tropical Island Ecosystems: Ecology and Conservation"! So that should be fun!

I've never been to a tropical Island before, so that should be an amazing time! (Although.. those spiders *shudder*) hehe I'll just have to get over my fear while i'm there! Can't be running for cover at every sign of a spidey.. I'm sure there will be lots!

Well that's about it from me, for now!
