Leaving on a jet plane...

The semester ended for me with the usual frenzy of projects, exams, papers, and tasks to get done in a small amount of time allotted. But it is over. I also had my first committee meeting and basically have two more courses to take for my program. In a few days, I hop on a plane to China and will begin pursuing my research interests there for my dissertation over the course of the next two months. My wife and kids will be in hanging out with family in Utah for the duration of my absence.

Somewhere in early April, the weather warmed up considerable and we enjoyed a marvelous weather for the month with a fair amount of rain. Along with the change in weather came the pollen. For several days the sky and air was filled with pollen from all the trees around the area. Cars parked outside would have a thin layer of pollen covering them within a short period of time. Fortunately, my hayfever medication worked fine in the new area.

Posts on or blog may be scarce for the next few months as the Great Firewall of China tends to block all blog sites. But I hope to post pics and info upon my return.
