There's only two more days and one more midterm until reading break! Hoorah.

Today in 260, we talked about "The Arctic Forest of the Middle Eocene"; turns out that well above the arctic circle (78.06 degrees N +/- 1.6 degrees was the the value given), around 45 million years ago there was a fairly productive forest... even though there was 115 days continuous darkness ("winter") and 130 days continuous light ("summer"), the mean annual temperature was around 12 C, and frost was quite rare.

We switched profs for this class too; they both share the course. I really like his style; he gives us a paper to read, but instead of us blindly grasping at straws, he actually gives us a list of questions to ask ourselves while reading it. His name is Kim Juniper; I have had him once before in first year and really enjoyed his class.

The ChemSoc meeting today went pretty well... I'm helping out with filling the candy bags tomorrow night around 6. Should be fun! I plan on making some delightfully cheesy valentines and stuffing them into people's unsuspecting bags, bwa ha ha ha ha.

I made mushroom risotto for dinner. It was quite good. I am going back for seconds soon.

Nom nom nom!
