This semester has been extremely busy!!!! As previously outlined, I am working on two projects- one relating to the Dominican Republic and one relating to renewable energy sources. A third project however has stemmed from my Dominican Republic research. While in Human Dimensions of Wildlife in the College of Natural Resources, I have completed a survey project on water use throughout campus. This ties to graduate student Tammy's work on student water consumption very well. This week I am compiling my results from this study. Then I am going to finish my report on renewable energy and finally, I will collect and organize all of my information on the Dominican Republic project. I cannot believe this semester is almost over. Also this week, Heather and I both applied for the ACC Research Grant. Hopefully both of us will be funded for our work next semester. My proposal detailed a second trip to the Dominican Republic- but this time to the northern coast, instead of the eastern coast. This will add a new element to my DR project. I love research and I hope this project gets funded!!! I think about the importance of water resources every day and I am so happy to be working in the field of water resource research!
