Turkey Run State Park

This past week I was attending a Sustainability Workshop at Turkey Run State Park. It was a long week and now it feels great to finally be home. We were able to go to a lot of interesting places.

Turkey Run is famous for its trails. There are lots of canyons, waterfalls, and a really neat suspension bridge.

Here is Sunset Point. It gives you a perfect view of...well, what else?...a sunset!

We also made a trip to an Amish Farm...

Here are some pictures from Shades State Park which was just up the way from Turkey Run. You can't tell from this picture, but there is about a 50 foot drop to the left and right of me. We were on our way to climb Devil's Backbone.

Here I am with a couple of my colleagues from the Children's Museum - Sean and Michele. We made our way to the bottom of the canyon to a stream and looked for crinoid and brachiopod fossils and geodes! It was about 15 degrees cooler and quite a sight.

All in all, it was a really cool place and had a great time!

Spring Semester is Finished!!!!!

Well, I have to say that procrastination has a whole new meaning for me. This semester I had to take a museum architecture course. Being a biology major, this was definitely out of my comfort zone. I started off the semester on top of things...reading my articles, writing papers on time, etc. Then I realized that I do not enjoy learning about architecture and started putting things off until about one or two weeks before a paper was due. Well, today was the due date for my last unit. Let me tell you about procrastination...I finished writing my second - and last- paper about 5 minutes ago. There were some late nights typing. Anyway, I am glad it's over and done with and only two more semesters until the Master's is complete!

Dustin and I are still looking at houses. We hope that the set of houses we look at on Monday will be the last ones and then we can make a decision on where we want to live.

Any-hoosiers, I thought I would share my excitement in finishing my semester with everyone and now it's time for a celebratory drink!

Have a great weekend!
