Nacre

I am being forced to take a biology class at a community college as "continuing education." I got 101/100 in my first exam and I find myself weirdly proud . . . of scoring highly in one exam at a community college . . . when I already have a masters in the ecological sciences from a real university. I am dumb. 

I've just been told I will be spending the rest of the summer in a small native fishing village in Alaska with no television or reliable internet access. They couldn't have waited another month to do this to me?!?
