After more than a year of waiting (not to mention a couple years of work prior), my thesis has FINALLY been published - I am lead author in a scientific paper!! For anyone who is interested, my article is entitled "Nest Ecology of the Southern Two-Lined Salamander (Eurycea cirrigera) in Eastern Illinois," and it's published in the journal Northeastern Naturalist. WOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!! That's another thing to add to my resume and yet another reason I wonder what I'm doing in real estate. Each day, I wonder more and more what I'm doing and if I'd be happy here. More and more, I think about how much I love biology. Still, I want to at least break even at this real estate thing before doing anything else...ONE HOUSE...MAYBE TWO!! I guess if I got that far, I might not be as down about it as I've been. Oh well.
In other news, I'm back from Chicago...I was only there briefly to get my eye re-zapped, so I'm sorry if I didn't get to see everyone. I mostly just wanted to recoop and visit with my family whom I rarely get to see when I'm back. I am really glad to be back, though...Illinois just harbors so much negativity for me. New Mexico really is a breath of fresh air. I'd hate to think what would have become of me had I stayed back in ol' IL.
Well, I better get back to unpacking...lots of work to do today yet, and most of it is hidden in my suitcases!!
