Grad Schools

Merry Christmas to y'all

Another Saturday on the computer.  So after spending the better part of the afternoon with my family, (and eating lots of food, the deserts kept coming with no end in sight, and lots of empty wine bottles on the counter) at home, resting, and searching through a small list of grad schools that I've found, or talked to at a conference I was at at the end of October (ASA-CSSA-SSSA Meeting in Long Beach CA 2010).  Of the dozen or so schools that I talked to, only about 5 really stand out to me.


Like I said on Twitter just a little bit ago, I'm looking at them, and open to a few suggestions, let me know if there is any school that you recommend, especially if they are working with bioenergy projects, from seed to fuel (or production of corps to fuel in you car) 


Night y'all, work in the mornin'

A Late Saturday Night

OK, it isn't that late yet (9:30 pm ish here) but considering that my alarm is set for 4:20 am, it is getting late for me.  Of all of the things that I could be doing on a Saturday night as a college student, looking up milk testing equipment isn't one that is high most peoples list, but there is a reason for it, I insist.  A few months ago, while I was thinking of grad schools, and what field to go into, I had a smart idea, go to grad school, get a Ph.d, and find my way back home and start a farm and be a partner on this new farm (even if it is an extension of the one that my family owns now).  Since I'm a sort of a scientist at heart, why not use that to better advance a farm, and do research that is more applicable to the specific farm.  Time will tell if that comes out like that or not.

Night ya'll
