Research and Green Beans

Starting to get everything together for my research... At some point, I will take a picture of the massive amount of gear I am accumulating. Until then I will keep you in the dark on what a huge nerd I've become.

Went to Home Depot tonight to try and find something to use to transport my samples. A member of my committee suggested those blue electrical conduit boxes, so here I was looking at them in Home Depot when a guy come up to see if I need any help. I explain to him that someone suggested these to me. His response, did you try Michael's Arts and Crafts? Now I know I was wearing a skirt today.... So then I proceeded to tell him that I am a geologist and need them to be sturdy because I have to hammer them into an outcrop so that I can transport them back from Africa in one piece. Oh man you should have seen his face.

Since I'm telling funny stories today...  For some reason, the day I got a green bean stuck up my nose came up today. Sometimes I snort when I laugh. Sometimes beverages shoot out of my nose, and sometimes when I eat green beans and snort they get stuck in my nose. This was in high school at a dinner before a band concert, and somebody said something funny.  So I snorted and the green bean went up my nose. Only it didn't come back out right away. It waited until I was on stage during the band concert to fall back out while I was planning the saxophone. Let me tell you green beans burn.

Enough randomness. Back to term paper.
