So, I've been a little MIA lately. But I've had a lot going on.

Where to start?

I took another visit to the Chancellor's House and got to hear the director of the NC Council for the Status of Women and got to have dinner with Mrs. Woodson, the chancellor's wife.

I contacted the director of the Nature Research Center, Dr. Meg Lowman (world-renowned rain forest canopy researcher) to see if I could take part in a mentorship with her and if there were any opportunities at the museum for me to gain experience in research. I stopped by right before Thanksgiving break and took a tour of the biodiversity lab. I ended up running into my old bio lab TA who now works at the museum and will likely be working with her come January.

I am declaring my German minor tomorrow.

I am moving off-campus for the spring semester and living in a house with my cousin (who goes to grad school here) and her roommate who is a vet student. [For those of you who have been following my blog, you know my experience last year with on-campus living was not great. I thought I'd give it another go and it was still not great.]

Next semester, I will be a Teaching Assistant for my Companion Animals class.

I hope you guys all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I spent it with family, friends, and my boyfriend. He and I went and watched Skyfall, I also shot a gun (two actually, a 12 gauge and a 22), and my grandmother turned off the oven with the turkey in it for 2 hours without anyone noticing.

At least it makes for a good story.
