Project, illness and everything else

Had the exam last wednesday. I'm sure that i passed, if not I'll start cry I promise! Well from tursday last week we started a project. three days in field, three days in lab and one and a half week analysing data and write a report. It's really fun and I really love this way of working! =)
My project is about photosynthesis, and how the efficiency of potosynthesis vary within a canopy, and how the efficiency changes with different CO2 concentrations. Relly interesting and if you wonder something just ask, I'm an expert*.. ;) *joking! well, the time in the feild was really great! first day was a bit cold (-4°C in the morning) but the rest of the time was warmer, but wetter! =/
It's good to learn how the instruments works, and to do everything by your self is really motivating!

 Cold morning!

 A LiCor 6400 were used for measuring photosynthesis

The needels we used for the measurments


The chamber were the needels were placed. In the chamber external factor, such as water and CO2, can be controlled 


Unfortunatley i've been ill all week. fever and sour throat, really a pity! well I hope i'm better befor monday.


Today I've built a bike that I can use this winter. It's a single speed with studded tires. It was a boring and ugly bike with gear.. much better now! =)




Last time has been nice. not very stressful and me and lars have spend a lot of time together. Really good! =) Last weekend we were picking mushrooms, found a lot! the best part is the picninc (coffee)!
