Hola,
So yesterday I had my last id test, I don't know how I did yet, but I think that was the worst of the three. Other than the test, we just had class and a lot of homework.
Today I am student of the day which means that I have to refill the water and the food in the fridge and in the cabinets. It doesn't sound too hard, but we got our shipment of food in today so everything was empty this morning and I had to refill it all in like the 10 minute break we had between class and lunch while I was trying to set up for lunch. Although the food came, the dry goods did not so we are down to using kleenex for toilet paper and all's we have are the little travel packs....I also had to come up with a game for all 40 of us (that is staff and students) to play. We ended up playing animals which I can explain to you once I'm back home. All in all, it was a fun game that everyone enjoyed.
Tonight half of us are going turtling. I am not, however, since I cannot free dive. When you go turtling, you look for turtles and when you find one, you dive down and grab it by the back of the shell by the neck and hang onto one of his back flippers and ride the turtle to the surface. Once at the surface, there are people in the boat measuring them and tagging them. Since I can't free dive I think I'll probably end up being one of the measuring people, but we'll see.
We are basically done with classes until after break. Right now we are just working on our research projects and having field exercises for class. Tomorrow we are going to the Cox development, the only hotel that is up and running right now. We get to ask them all sorts of questions about their business and later we will present to the class what we found out.
Well, that's about it for now, I will post a pic of the boat we get our food on when I get a chance.

Hi Michelle,
OK somewhere along the way, I missed why you can't free dive. This turtle thing sounds so awesome!
Nice to hear that you're doing manual labor -- student of the day sounds quite honorable!
Don't worry about your tan - it will come back quickly when the sun returns. You've still got 2 months to go!
Miss you!
:+)

p.s. Larry wanted me to ask you if you're available to "big-girl sit" Julia & Samantha & MM & Spirit on Dec 14? (jk!)
Hey Lynne,
I cannot free dive because of my ear and sinus problems. I am not able to clear my ears because of it so I can't dive in any more than like 6 feet of water.

PS: I am always happy to big girl sit!!
Hey Chelle,
Sooo I decided I was going to make a road trip to see you in my car. And I was going to make my car into a boat or submarine so that I could see you cause I miss you lots. Julie didn't like the idea to much but mom said it was a great one!! She said I could sing Yellow Submarine as well lol. Everything sounds so much fun!!! I can't wait to hear how that turtling stuff goes!!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!
Love,
Your favoritist sister!!!
awwwwwwwwww, sarah......you should still take your car here to see me. I'm sure you could find some nice man in Miami to take you and your car over here by boat, or you could be a stowaway on our food ship, then you could sing the Gilligain's Island song. It leaves on Tuesday so you better hurry. I miss you guys too, but don't worry, I'll be back before you know it!!! I hope vball and school are going well.

Um...I actually liked the idea to make her car into a boat, but I'm thinking mine would be better since it's bigger. Aaaand only you and I can sing the Gilligan's Island song, fyi...hahaha. I'm glad your classes are almost over, but you haven't been online lately...I miss your daily highlight of the day, haha. Hope to hear from you soon...and I'm excited to have Chloe for a few weeks in November, haha.
-Your beautiful older sister
