Well, Now I feel like I'm actually making some progress with my project.  I am feeling right at home at NMT and getting to know people in the computer lab.  Cathy, my advisor, decided that the route that we scouted and planned for our survey isn't good because its along the interstate, so Sandra and I are going out to scout another route.  LIve and learn!  I have sucessfully created a map of the area with GMT which I am incredibly proud of, though, its still a work in progress.  I am also learning a lot about filters and creating them in Matlab.  I'm learning how to use some of the theory that I have learned in class in Matlab.  I can't wait to go back to school and show off my super cool Matlab skills!

Socorro is definitely an interesting place.  Its got great mexican food.  I also have seen several roaches.  It turns out that they really are huge and gross.  There aren't any in Montana, a guess because of the climate so I've never seen any before.  I am amazed at their agility.  One came right out of the drain of the drain of the sink.  Interesting...  And, the weather is beautiful every single day. But I do hope that the monsoon that everyone has been talking about comes pretty soon.  I've also found some really cool rocks around here.  Fun.
