I'm getting ready to reenter the world of field biology: tent living, buggy, lush wonderlands and lack of refrigeration.
I've cut my hair,prolly 10 inches or less — there's still more than enough to spare. That was so that I don't overheat in the rainforest. I've also managed to buy WAAAY too much equipment from REI; packed and unpacked and repacked and unpacked and overpacked and am trying to underpack because there's no way I can hold every toy I want to bring.
What else..Oh! I've also recently been in an altercation with a massive raccoon, the matriarch of her tribe and I, somehow, came out unscathed. Somehow I felt like that was a challenge I was put to overcome to see if I was up for the greater challenges presented out in the Amazon. But seriously: I'm excited. And ready. Ready, ready, ready.
