Saturday morning we volunteered at Old Bill's Fun Run, a fundraiser to support non-profit organizations in the Jackson area. Grad students and Americorp interns acted as traffic controllers, to make sure everyone was safe. People were dressed up in crazy outfits, which made the whole day really fun!
The rest of the weekend was spent finishing up geology projects and starting our reading for Community Ecology this week. Ashley and I explored an art fair in Jackson on Sunday, and did some errands around town. Then we went to Stagecoach bar with a couple other people as well! That was such a fun experience. We met about half the town of Wilson, and had fun dancing/watching dancing!
On Monday we started our Community Ecology class, which I am loving! This I understand way better than geology. We even have a plant ID quiz at the end of the week, yay! It's been both some review and some new info. Today we came across an elk carcass that has been around for a couple years.

This week we also get to observe our first morning or evening program for the Teton 5th program. In the next month or so, every 5th grader in the county will come to TSS to participate in the Teton 5th program. As of right now we are observing the programs, but next week we get to start teaching! I observed our Murie Museum program last night, and had a blast! I can't wait to try it out next week.
We're all a little swamped this week, what with class as well as observations, but we finally feel like we're in grad school!
