Tree Town updates

The snow is almost gone, but it is still cold... check out my house in February:

Only been in the country 2 months and have worked my way up through three jobs. Scrambling to make some quick cash I worked at Banditos Mexican (terrible) and Sylvio's Organic Pizza (highly recommended), but just started at NSF International, A non-profit organization that certifies companies for quality in food and water (among other things). Full time, good money, work experience, something to do with my time.

I cut my hair so as to appear more professional, and it very well may have got me the job.

In other news, I was accepted to the University of Michigan PhD program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, in which I will potentially continue research in coffee agroecosystems as I did last June/July.

Still waiting to hear back from a Costa Rica-based program in International Agrobusiness Management and Sustainable Development.
