Act as if it is not raining

Well, the heat has finally left us. It rained all morning and a good chunk of the afternoon on Tuesday. Our classrooms are a 1/2 mile walk from the "D-Fac" (dining facility) and we are instructed to "act as if it is not raining". What does that mean? It means no umbrellas. Our issued rain gear is acceptable but since we are going to the field next week all of our gear is packed. So, we walked in the rain. Not like a light drizzle but similar to the CA rains those of last year. You know, the really hard rains. The roads were like SoCals, flooded. There is no drainage here. It is crazy.

Tomorrow is our final day to prep for the field as we will have to load all of our gear onto some trucks Friday afternoon immediately following class. These next few days before the field will be spent finishing some homework and preparing for some presentations that are due while we are away and right when we get back.

I am hoping to be able to get some cool pictures while out in the field. In caes you were wondering, we will be at Camp Bollis. I am sure you could Google Earth if to see where we will be.
