happy friday

I'm trying to finish up my final draft of my research proposal. The title is, "The effect of water level variances on wild rice of Lake Ogechie, in central Minnesota".

I'm going back to the lab in Minneapolis for the summer. I'm not sure what research I will be doing there yet. It's going to be a good summer, especially since my buddy Jeff will be at the lab, too.
