Getting close

No real news, but it's a little less than two weeks until I leave so I thought I would add a post. My graduation was Saturday, so I've now officially jumped all the hurdles to becoming a Ph.D. I've finished up the paperwork to get into South Africa, and I'm waiting for my Visa application to be approved. Andrew has gotten all the necessary approvals for the elephant shrew shaving project, so we should be able to start that very soon. It also looks like the trip to the Namaqualand is shaping up, so I will be traveling to the western side of the country shortly after I arrive.

I will be using Skype to stay in touch with people in the States, so if you want to talk to me while I'm there, you'll have to download it and sign up for an account.
