a hard day's work

had a tough day at work yesterday. we have lost 4 of last year's juveniles plus a few other birds, so had to fly around and try and pick up a signal from their transmitter. this involved spending 4 hours in a helicopter, flying around half of fiordland radio tracking whio!!! a tough job but somebody has to do it. ended up getting signals for at least 2 of the 4.

trying to organise going to uni stuff over the weekend. all that boring stuff like student allowances and community services cards and the such like. sounds like joesy has found us a house which will make things a bit easier. found out that i didn't get a scholarship that i applied for because my GPA wasn't good enough. not sure how you get better than straight A's but apparently it's possible.

Sucks about the scholarship - maybe they didn't know enough about Athens and treated the A's like they were Waikato A's (i.e. C's at any real university).
