Wow I'm posting so frequently...is that a good thing or a bad thing? Whatever. Well, I know you've all been anxiously waiting my next update for the last three days, so here it is:
I've decided that there are a lot of wonderful things about this trip that I have neglected to mention, because they are not flashy enough to warrant a post all to themselves. Which seems unfair to them, since I enjoy these little things nearly every day. So I decided to list them here, and hopefully you will all get a better idea of what day to day life at the Center for Marine Resource Studies is like:
THE LIST:
1. Honey Nut Cheerios at breakfast. I love those things.
2. I can go to class barefoot
3. I can give group presentations barefoot
4. I can go to meals barefoot
5. BAREFOOT ALL THE TIME!
6. There are four dogs that live around the center and follow us around, and they are wonderful
7. My mosquito net makes me feel like I'm sleeping the canopy bed 9-year-old me always wanted
8. Foosball table
9. Egyptian Ratscrew (except no red 10s, so I look like I have a twitch every time one is played)
10. People play dominos at the local bars
11. Dominos is awesome
12. The sea wall is lined with conch shells
13. There are two cannons next to the pool
14. HAMMOCK NAPS
15. Perfect sunsets every night
16. Lots of hemp for cool sea glass necklaces
17. Everyone here likes Mumford & Sons
18. Comfortable breeze pretty much all day
19. I haven't gotten sunburned!
20. Murals on the walls
21. The houses in town are often painted bright colors
22. Everyone says hi to each other, whether you know them or not
23. I can do homework while staring at the ocean
24. My lab practicals are snorkeling trips
25. Delicious baked good for snack every day at 4
I think that covers it for now, I may start keeping a running list in my journal if I think of any more. Also I'm going to take more pictures soon, and hopefully post them. Or I'll just steal pictures from other people because they have better cameras than me...
Okay, so #2 -5: awesome. Super jealous. I'll let you know when it gets warm enough for me to take off my Bean boots here (hypothesis: June).
ReplyDelete#6: NO WAY! I think I'd steal one.
#14: Unfair. I think I'm changing my major to environmental studies and studying abroad there as a senior. Life plan? Yes.
#23: You are certainly in your element.
#25: Yum.
I'm SO jealous of your life right now! :) I'd say, "Hope you're having so much fun," but I already know you are, so.... keep having fun!
