Neat, I can post to this journal via email!

– EMT class canceled today. The power went out earlier in the day (and
soon went back on), and my second-favorite instructor (out of two) decided
it was okay for 20 students to drive from all over the metro only to have
to turn back and go home despite wanting to prepare for out national
practical examination two weeks from now. Oh well…

– Currently trying to learn “Down by the Sally Gardens” on the harmonica.
It’s hard, though!

– Becoming more and more psyched about a semester in India. I’ve been
reading the research papers of students who went in past years and I must
say, studying at Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary and the Vector Control
Research Center sounds much less daunting after seeing the actual
hard-copy result of a student’s project there. I’ve even found a couple of
books at the St Olaf Library that include published research papers from
R. Sukumar, the elephant researcher and head of the Mudumalai research
center.

– I found a bunch of National Geographic articles on India that have lots
of pretty pictures, which are always nice of course.
