The last in the series of posts about my adventures in the Alvord Desert. My tips for roughing it in the desert and a few of the highlights from my research trip, in no particular order. To read more about what I actually did in the desert see:
Now that my blogging course is coming to an end I must decide what to do with this blog. Fortunately for you I chose a topic that I knew I would want to continue blogging about. There are precious few things I enjoy more than looking up pictures of lizards, learning more about them and seeing a new species for the first time. I won't make any promises about the speed of my updates but I can tell you that I plan to continue posting and I even have a list of future posts in mind.
This has been my first time venturing into the world of blogging and I have been pleasantly surprised. It's been hard finding the time and motivation to do the research and writing for the posts but I have enjoyed learning new things and developing my voice to reflect the craziness that is my mind and releasing into the unsuspecting world.
Anyway, with this plan to continue the blog I may need some help coming up with ideas for future posts, so I ask that you comment below about anything you think might make a good post or that I might enjoy knowing about, it could be a cool animal, questions or clarifications about lizards, college, herpetology, my experiences, your experiences, pretty much everything is fair game. And in the spirit of sharing, I will show you what has made my rather awful day just a little bit better even though I am overloaded with studying that really needs to be done. Can't wait for this quarter to be over already...
I am not fond of spiders, I like to think that I'm made of sterner stuff but I will and have been know to shriek like a little girl when an overgrown spider finds it's way into my bathroom. I'm ashamed to admit it but just a few months ago as the mature, independent, 21 year old that I am, I made my daddy to get a spider out of the bathroom for me...it was not one of my prouder moments. Anyway this video made me smile and from now on I will always hear this voice whenever I see a spider. Enjoy.
