Intro

I've decided to start this blog to catalog my adventures while doing research this summer in Portland, Oregon. I need a place to document all the fun I plan to have! Plus this way I have a place to point people when they start asking about my summer. :) 

This is the deal:

I'll be doing research all day, every day, five days a week, for twelve weeks at the National Center for Rehabilitative and Auditory Research (aka NCRAR) in the incredible Pacific Northwest city of Portland.

My goal is to blog at least once a week, hopefully twice, depending on what I'm doing.

My partner-in-crime for most of the summer will be M (whose permission I need to get before plastering her picture and name all over the blog). 

Hopefully I won't talk too much about my research, because while I happen to think it's fascinating, I've definitely seen people's eyes glaze over when I get going. 

So this is what I'm bringing to Portland. Two completely stuffed suitcases, a backpack and a tote. I'll probably (definitely) be repacking/reorganizing/eliminating before I actually fly out on Sunday, but it definitely helps having somewhere to start.

Thanks for following along - hopefully you'll enjoy my adventures as much as I do!
