I&#8217;ve also come to the conclusion that crayfish are really quite cute. Now, though, we are beginning our independent projects for animal phys, meaning a project that we work on with a partner that we come up with and conduct ourselves. It&#8217;s pretty awesome that we get to do that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111004_141038.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2164 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111004_141038-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111004_141038-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111004_141038-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111004_141038-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111004_141038.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I also went to my second ever Sounders game this past month.

Not so much. The weather has made a liar of me. Although there were some rainy days, most days have been sunny or overcast but dry. Granted, it&#8217;s still cold enough for me to complain about my body not being able to handle it because I&#8217;m from Hawaii, \u00a0but not too rainy. However, on one of the particularly rainy days I saw this massive puddle on campus and had to fight my inner five year old not to jump in it. I managed to refrain from jumping in that puddle, but I will not deny stomping harder than necessary in other, smaller puddles on my way to class.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111011_170351.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2166 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111011_170351-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111011_170351-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111011_170351-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111011_170351-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/studentlife\/files\/2011\/10\/IMG_20111011_170351.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">But that&#8217;s what\u00a0rain boots\u00a0are for, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The semester is already halfway done!
