And then there were six...

As classes are winding down, our apartment is getting quieter. Today Molly and Micheal left for the countryside with the University's Psychology department. They will be gone for at least two weeks in order to conduct their surveys. Tomorrow, I will be heading out with the Anthropology department! I finally get to start digging! The exciting news is I'll be going with a group of Mongolian students and will have ample opportunity to improve my language skills. I got some bad new from home this morning, so this may end up being a long twenty days of personal reflection. Hopefully, I will be kept occupied and busy for a while.
The apartment will soon be missing a few others as everyone is venturing out to other regions of Mongolia. Allie and Melissa will be heading out to do some biology field work, testing rivers by using plants and animals indicators to test water quality. Emily will be starting her Ecotourism research when she goes to the countryside. Evan and Tim will be heading out of UB soon too! Almost all of us are planning trip out of the city. Just Pitt's effort to off set this problem of urban migration to UB!!
