Day 1 (June 9^th)

I flew into Boise, ID from Colorado Spring, CO this morning. Dr. Liberty met me at the airport and drove me back to campus where he showed me his office and introduced me other faculty members before going out to lunch. We ate lunch at a small bistro type restaurant in the heart of downtown. After lunch Dr. Liberty gave me a quick tour of the downtown district and campus. We then spent the remainder of the afternoon running around trying to get a campus ID. Although we were unable to get the ID, I was finally able to get into the apartment and drop off my bags before heading out to Dr. Liberty’s house for dinner. It was a very pleasant evening, with good food and good company.

Day 2 (June 10^th)

I woke up this morning with the realization that I was going to have to procure a blanket, the apartment was a little on the chilly side for only the sheets provided by campus housing. I headed over to the office around 8:45 while attempting to eat granola out of my Nalgene. I began working the a couple of data sets from Puget Sound in which we are going to attempt to determine effects and possibly remove out of phase arrivals resulting from side scattering on the narrow walls of the channels. Today, I went thought the data sets and tried to pick out the data from the seismic reflection lines that we are interested in. Dr. Liberty was kind enough to bring me some cooking equipment, plates, bowls, cups, flatware, and a few blankets.

Day 3 (June 11^th)

Today I was able to begin looking at some of the different seismic lines from Puget Sound in Promax. Hopefully by the end of the week we will be able to have plots of the all the seismic lines put together so that we will have a better idea of what we have to work with. This evening went for a pleasant run along the Boise River. Dylan was kind enough to lend me a spare bike, which should make it much easier to explore Boise.
