Oysters and Battlefield

Graduating from college without immediately going to graduate school has left me with a lot of time on my hands (not to mention the less than favorable part time job market).  Thus, I have been utilizing my time by volunteering at Florida Oceanographic Society, where I participate in Oyster Reef Restoration research.  

We just recently begun our weekly assessment of a particular reef in the St. Lucie River near the Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart, FL.  If all goes well, our data will be used to better cailbrate the fresh water discharge from Lake Okechoobee into our beautiful Florida Rivers, thus making our rivers more habitable for native life.  The research is a lot of fun, I get to go out in the field every time I'm there so I can't complain, I know that a life of lab work is likely ahead of me once I start my graduate career into Molecular Biology studies, so being able to spend some time doing field based biology is a great experience.

Other than the research, my XBOX360 has been quite active (and apparently has a blog too).  Two games which are quite difficult for me to put down right now are Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Red Dead Redemption.  The latter of which had me quite depressed for a few days, yet I won't disclose any more on that specific plot (just play it!!!!)

Well that's it for now, until next time....
