I'm terrible

I’m terrible, I’m sorry. I don’t really have any good excuse!! And the thing is, I actually kind of do have stuff to talk about!

Well #1 is: last week I was at this surprisingly great workshop at the Bahamas National Trust, entitled “Understanding and Using Economic Tools in Protected Area Research and Management”. It was given by 3 people from the Conservation Strategy Fund, which, as I understand it, is a non-profit organisation which uses economics to help developing countries.

Anyway, I learned an absolute ton! It was like a refresher of the Environmental Economics class I took in college (twice, cuz I failed the first time, lol). And I also made some great contacts! One of the lecturers is at Duke University in North Carolina, and he encouraged me to check out the Nicholas School at Duke for my Masters, and even said he would write me a recommendation! So, I’ve been research Duke the last couple days, and it really looks like a great programme! Master of Environmental Management (MEM). There’s even a joint MEM/JD in Environmental Law programme (that takes 4 years, butttttt), so I’m considered that as well! Gaahhhh! So much to do!

First thing I’d have to do is study for & sit the GRE! Soooo, today I ordered my GRE study books online, and hopefully I’ll have that by next week or so…anddddd the application deadline is Feb 1st, so that means I’ll have to sit the exam sometime in January. Gahhh!!
