F-I-J-I

What does that spell!?!


FIJI!

So folks. Great news today.  I have the first 2-3 weeks of Summer 2012 planned out.
Making biodiesel from coconuts for the people in Fiji.


Beaches, engineering, coconuts, service, credit applied to graduation, friends, travel....all rolled up into one burrito.

Stay around for the updates, coming Fall 2011/Winter 2012 when I start working on my project.  click here to learn some more.

Later days!

BRAGGING RIGHTS

Sorry, I just have to spill my happy secrets today.

Two of 'em.

Ready?

1. I might get to be a co-author on this biology research paper that I have been assisting my professor on all summer.

Yes, I will attach my name-Me. Sarah- To an actual piece of science. For better or worse (concerning my reputation in academia).

2. I secured a possible engineering internship (I say "possible" because I haven't committed yet) with a company that makes devices for biology research.

 Yes, this was a connection from my summer job.  The vice president was impressed when I wired the data loggers correctly.

Maybe this is why I am not ready to go back to school--my brain has been thinking and reasoning at maximum capacity during the past three months.  I need to...veg out...or something.

Two cheers for Sarah's academic success this summer.
Ooof. "Academic" and "summer" should not be in the same sentence...

LIST #5-SUMMER BUCKET LIST

I know we all have 'em, but I feel like posting mine for all cyberspace to see....

1. Climb a mountain to the summit
2. Go tubing in the Provo river
3. Actually use the swimming pool in my apartment complex...I might as well get my money's worth out of my astronomically high rent...
4. Visit the hot springs
5. Go mountain biking... you already heard how disastrous this was.  At least I can say I tried.
6. Float in the Great Salt Lake -- I have heard it is possible because of the high salt content...So me and Jordan are going to have our own little episode of Mythbusters.
7. Fry an egg on a sidewalk
8. Have a picnic with watermelon, potato salad, corn on the cob, and all other foods deemed "summer-y" on a red checkered tablecloth
9. Spend so much time in the sun that my hair bleaches to platinum
10. Before I move out of my apartment this week I want to walk to Jordan's apartment from my front door and time it to see if it really is under two minutes.

I'll keep you updated on what happens next.
