For example, within the last 48 hours, I have spontaneously joined a field trip to go to New York and help Professor Felson (Professor of Arch and Forestry) with an urban restoration project. Professor Felson is a landscape architect who works in urban ecology, urban planning, and architecture, and it was such a great opportunity to spend a day with him and pick his brain about all those things that I'm interested in! I realized that I really enjoy getting off campus and spending the day with people who expand my world view and knowledge base. I learned what a parkway is (there is one from NY to New Haven), what a bio-swale is, and even came up with an idea for my GIS project! The actual project was pretty fun too. We waded through a swamp all day and identified plants. The weather was sooooo beautiful!
Today, I woke up early, and after getting a text from Macrina, just hopped on a bus to go on a Yale Farm Tour. We ate a scrumptious breakfast at a local Connecticut farm and then picked apples! :)
THEN! My suite mates and I had a photo shoot in JE. We dressed up in swanky black dresses and all looked very hott. Best Saturday ever!
