Another odyssey

My second trip to Hawaii is coming up. Next Monday, 9:55 am local time, I'm flying out of Syracuse, heading for the Pacific... oh yeah. Just like last year, I'm going there to conduct field work for my research (collecting water from rivers and groundwater wells on the Big Island and Kaua'i) and to TA (which isn't strictly a verb since it stands for "Teaching Assistant") my advisor's class, Intro to the biogeochemistry of Hawaii. The major difference this time is that I won't be gone for almost two months but only 5 weeks. That's so much better.

The third odyssey: Philippines in December/January. Am currently pumping out grant applications to fund that fieldwork.

Being a geologist sucks, doesn't it?
