so yeah, i guess i should explain what i have been doing this week that has made it so awesome. one of our major projects is this huge restoration near rainier beach. it is a place called pritchard beach, we are making a meadow, a huge wetland area with a pond, an alder gallery, and a forest. so basically it is nuts. it is a huge thing, and very diverse, so every year we do this thing called monitoring. we take a selection of plots that will basically represent an area, and monitor it to see what plants are there, and whether the plants we planted are alive still, and whether the place is over run by bad plants, and such. then we can compare it to the last year, and the year before, and etc. to see if what we have been doing is working. it actually is really helpful. but yeah, it basically takes a week to do all the plots. it is also pretty slack, because we stand around in this 1 m circle naming off all the little plants we see (the herb layer). then we move out to 3 meters and do shrubs, then 5 meters and do trees. the herb layer takes the longest, because there are usually like 10-20 different little shits in there. so yeah, my plant id is pretty pimpin right now. today was awesome. it was me and 2 of the girls i work with. they rock. it was awesome, because they think they are too bossy, so i was in charge the entire time. so i got to boss them around, it was hilarious. me, in charge, again :D and we finished our things first, and they were impressed, because what i told them to do actually made sense. most of my co workers are really cool, i am thinking of inviting some of them to the party on friday. so yeah, i was counting plants all week, booyah. it rocked.

on a sad note, one of the guys i really liked is leaving tomorrow. he was a cool guy, and he knew a lot about plants. also, the first time i worked with him, he layed down for a nap after work, which basically started ryan and mines whole sleep all the time. but he is leaving for greener pastures. anyways, i took a 2 hour lunch on the clock. woot

we have a roomate x, for part of the summer at least. ryan is going to be pimpin up in heah. oh man, my life is over ;) living with the dudes i am with, and now ryan too. holy fucking shit, this is going to be the best summer ever!!!!!
