I skipped on studying for my Friday final to stay home so that I could sign for the package thinking the UPS man would be by around 2 or 3. But the hours went by: 3, 4, 5, 6… Around 6:30 I started to get a little worried that UPS had failed on their promise of delivering it today. However, at exactly 6:57, just 3 minutes before end of business for UPS, there was a ring at the doorbell. Apparently I was practically the LAST delivery of the day for my local UPS delivery man. Got annoyed at how long it took, but at least I got it, and am so excited to get to use it out in the field!

Here’s some test footage that I took. The detail is amazing!
 

 
In other news, just 2 more finals to go, only one of which really means anything. The one tomorrow is ALL on excel, which means we’re allowed complete access to notes and previous tests/quizzes/homework. The only one left that I have to study for is my hydrologic science exam which is on FRIDAY. Ugh why did it have to be so late in exam week? I can’t believe that in 4 days I will be officially a graduate of the University of Oklahoma! WOOHOO! Grad school here I come!
