We love ice cream

Val, Alice, and I ate almost enough ice cream to make us sick last night. But we just can't turn down a trip to the Dairy Bar. Janice needed to celebrate because she just presented her proposal to the Earth Sciences department. I heard through the grapevine that Janice and Nathan both did a great job. Janice is studying coarse-grained sediment transport in the lower Piscataqua River, and Nathan is looking at using GPS data to find the separation between the WGS84 ellipsoid and the tidal datum in a specific area (Bay of Fundy!).

Mystery Tree

John, Kurt, Val, and I went to check out the greenhouse at the Thompson school on Saturday morning. It was really fun, and while I was there I picked up what I thought was a cool looking plant/tree. A guy that worked there said it was a coffee tree, but I can't find any info on it on google, and an image search doesn't really bring up anything that looks like what I have. If anyone can identify this plant, please let me know. If you're curious, click on the image above to link to my greenhouse album on picasa where you'll find more photos of the mystery tree. If you can tell me what it is, I'll buy you an ice cream!! Note to Andrea: the picasa album has a picture of Trogdor!!
