I'm going to lead the posts from now on with the date since I'm so behind on all of my updates. Today was the last day I did a Corm count, last day I did any data entry work, and I turned in all of my gear when I got to the lab in Newport. It was weird turning in everything. It was weird for all of it to be coming to an end. I think I almost always stayed stressed out the entire time I worked for Cheryl. I will tell you why. She is soooo detailed and awesome at what she does, I wanted to be awesome for her. She is so intelligent, and has a better work ethic than I do, which I didn't think was possible. <---I don't ever toot my own horn unless I feel its okay, and I do take pride in my work ethic. Anywho, it was over, and I didn't want it to be. After getting all last minute stuff turned in, I hung out with my coworkers while Cheryl ran last minute errands. We had all planned on a lab beach bonfire that evening to celebrate the end of our field season.
We went to a beautiful spot at Agate Beach, took pictures, talked and laughed, ate smores, and played Frisbee. I was soo dreading playing Frisbee with everyone, because I have NEVER been good at sports. I tried soccer and softball when I was younger, but I've never been naturally good at that stuff. So, I did surprise myself when I was able to throw and catch without looking too stupid. Ha! It was a blast! I had an amazing summer working with these people, and I had an amazing time just BEING in Oregon. I wear a hoodie ALL SUMMER LONG! Now that's the kind of summer I want. I will say this, I love Oregon, I love the PNW (Pacific Northwest), and I would move there in a heartbeat. What a great and fun place to be. Enjoy these photos.....

So we tried doing funny pictures, and decided to try and do a jumping picture. Here is all of us getting ready to jump.
Almost all of us made it up in time. We never got a picture with all of us up in the air.
