My brother sent me this a while back and I have yet to grow tired of it.

...have the capacity to sting when they are rubbed against.
After sampling today I have decided that I'll take sampling in rhodo hell over sampling in wood nettle (Laportea canadensis) any day! If you scream in the woods and no one's around to hear it, do you make a sound?

You just can't win
So we finally have some rain. We're getting the remnants of Fay and so it's rained non-stop for two days...the first rain I've seen here in I don't know how long. Still not enough to get us out of this drought, but needed nontheless. Yet, I want the rain to stop. The time to do my veg sampling is quickly running out. The leaves have started turning and that's bad news. I'm in a perpetual tense state and unfortunately, my boyfriend bears the brunt of it. :o( I'm sure everything will work out in the end...even if it does mean I'm in graduate school for and extra semester or two.

A couple of thoughts
When you're in the woods for hours on end by yourself, you have a lot of time to think.
#1 I really should stop watching crime shows...I have very little doubt that I'll stumble upon a body someday.
#2 They call dense patches of rhododendron "rhodo hell" for a reason.

My Campus Ride
Here is my ride to campus about which I've been talking:

Oh, and don't let me forget by golly--I have to give a shout out and props to MY BIG BROTHER for referring me to this awesome website. If he hadn't told me about this site, I can guarantee I wouldn't be where I am today. :oP
