I am already in my fourth week of classes at IU \u2013 can you believe it?<\/p>\n<p>My last week at ODFW was spent finishing up my final report of my results. I polished the report, cleaned out my desk, and caught a glimpse of Portland on Wednesday before boarding a plane back to St. Louis on Thursday. Four days later, I was sitting in my Evolution class in Jordan Hall, IU\u2019s biology building.<\/p>\n<p>A rushed transition, to be sure (I think I am finally getting settled into a routine), but Newport has not yet left my mind, and I think a few thank-yous are in order.<\/p>\n<p>The crew at ODFW helped shape both my project and personal experience this summer. My mentor, Justin Ainsworth \u2013 along with other members of the Shellfish Division, Mitch Vance and Steve Rumrill \u2013 offered superb guidance, patience, and support. Carri Andersen, Marilyn Leary, Anne Vandewalle, and Adrian Cardoso made my data collection not only possible, but also enjoyable. They are, and will continue to be, missed.<\/p>\n<p>I could not have asked for a better group of Sea Grant Scholars with which to spend the summer and explore Oregon. Steph, Erin, Jess, Lexi, Collin, Angus, Justin, Ed, and Skyler \u2013 it was lovely getting to know you, and you made my summer what it was.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, thank you to Oregon Sea Grant for making this experience possible. Thanks to Sarah, Mary, and Haley in particular for running the program flawlessly. Such a special program requires outstanding leaders, and Oregon Sea Grant has certainly found them.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward: I will graduate this May with a B.S. in Biology (and some other stuff). After that, I plan to take a year \u201coff\u201d before applying to graduate school. For once, I am not sure what my plans are for the immediate future, which is thrilling. And who knows \u2013 maybe I will see Oregon again sooner than I expect.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4112 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/seagrantscholars\/files\/2016\/09\/IMG_3145-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3145\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2016\/09\/IMG_3145-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2016\/09\/IMG_3145-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2016\/09\/IMG_3145-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2016\/09\/IMG_3145-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/601\/files\/2016\/09\/IMG_3145-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am writing this from my cute little house in Bloomington, Indiana.
