Jenny,
Hang in there lady. Your ENTS family is behind you. Ahh, maybe you should show them what dirty really is. Spread some bird doodoo around! Mix up the species doodoo and ask everyone to identify each species type. We'll then compute a doodoo index for each person. Who the heck are those people?

ENTS, Okay, I'm really irritated after 3 days of talking 90% of the time about soil and drainage in this Forest Ecology workshop. I KNOW this is important, but what about everything else??? We don't don't about mice or voles or birds or deer or moose, or insects, or even the bacteria or micro organisms that break down the organic matter. Very superficial coverage of species interaction. There was an incomprehensible hour talking about calculating biomass with a prism. And THEN, to top it all off, one guy in the class said "gross! that's so dirty!" when I picked up a gull feather, and someone else chimed in "birds are so dirty". I told them they had no idea what they were talking about. And there are 2 more days....I have to go eat dinner with these people now. AAAAH!
