I’ve been living with this girl for 174 days now. Crazy.
But you know what? It doesn’t even feel like it.
Our days go by like two best friends who are just hanging out all the time. We don’t argue, we don’t fight. We’re a team and we work towards goals. It’s not often that we get to do very many spectacular things (at least not like we did in Oregon) — we’re been busier than we were then. But it works, because no matter what, we have each other. We’re going to travel when I’m done with school, and build a house, and start a farm and not be in debt to anybody. If I told you how much money we’ve already saved up in just 6 months you wouldn’t even believe me (trust me, you wouldn’t)… and that doesn’t even count the money that we already used to pay off our 5-figure student loans.
We have plans, and we’re doing it. BFF!
I’m so so so lucky…
A group of us from NCSU went to Uruguay from December 7-17th to visit a variety of organic farms and to establish relationships for future studies. Since the climate there is similar to NC, there are a lot of practices that can be used in both places. We saw a lot that impressed us, and a few things that could be improved. This year, a few Uruguayan students are coming to NCSU as part of an exchange program. Yay!
Here are some pics.

I went to Mexico over the fall break (11-15 Oct) with several other people from my Sustainable Agriculture class. We visited an eco-friendly farmer’s co-op near the coast (in Veracruz), had classes at a university in the mountains, saw some ancient temple / pyramid ruins for a few hours, visited a coffee co-op, spent a day with a coffee farmer learning about his farm, and got to see a teeny tiny bit of Mexico city. It was fun, even if we did spend 12 hours a day learning and had little free time.
