Professional and Technical writing...

Ok campers here's where collegiate meets reality...if only blogging would qualify for peer reviewed writing...I love the 3...'s instead of commas and semicolons...or thought spaces....et al...

Met with my faculty on Wednesday afternoon, conferenced about writing skills and techniques. Wrote 6 revisions of my Spring Activity Grant, had my boss do final edit and submitted with 1 hour to spare. Holy moly batpeople....received a confirmation email of receipt...slept like a baby...thank the maker...

Today REI...yahoo...new rain pants that actually zip fully up the sides so I can get them over my boots in the field, new rain light weight rain jacket that won't fall apart after 3 uses, polartec under layer bottoms, gators, lightweight snow gloves and snow baskets for my trek poles...saweet....

Tuesday we leave for Pack Forest...on the way we go to some kind of wetlands/swamp and tramp in the mud, later pull out some scotch broom ( oh la) and then to dinner and a lecture..

Wednesday...snowshoeing....snow cave building....field journals...tracking...etc....

Thursday...reverse Wendesday....

Friday...role playing ....oh goody...processing the trip...then homeward bound.

The really cool thing is I get to scope out one of the sites I will use for my Spring Project...ha ha ha....not letting that out of the bag just yet...

So campers...cold tonight up in the PNW...maybe some snow on Monday...oh that's tomorrow....ha...and we will be watching the avalanche reports closely...don't worry any danger...no snowshoeing  (booo!)

Till then...grind the coffee tonight in case of power outage and pack for all contingencies...I think I need a sherpa...

Peace out.
