Happy Halloween!!!

These are some of the coconuts we painted.

This is Gabe, he was hurricane Katrina.

Kyle, one of the interns, was a tennis player.

This was one of the "scary trees" and our painted coconuts.


This is the bar looking amazing.

Katie was a conch boat, Liz was a pencil tree, Danielle was from the 80's, Britta was a rubix cube, and I was someone that just woke up.

Mitch was a palm tree and Steve was a girl with coconuts and a grass skirt.

These are the coconuts I painted. One is a pirate and one is Stewie Griffin from Family Guy.

This is the staff here. They were all sorts of fun things.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

So yesterday was just a chill day. We looked at all the damage from the storm; 3 busted boats and several chunks out of the pier. The storm wasn't as bad but the waves were still rough and it was still windy so we couldn't go in the field to do anything. Instead we just had class and then time in the afternoon to plan for the Halloween party and get some work done. I am on the Celebration committee so I was in charge of decorations. We made signs with fun Halloween facts and hung them around. We also put up streamers and fake cobwebs and Halloween lights. I had to go help Kate, the student affairs person collect coconuts yesterday so we could paint coconuts today for Halloween. While we were at East Bay doing that, we found some "scary trees" to put around the place.

Today for our Halloween party we had coconut painting, a Halloween charades game, a costume contest, lots of fun snacks, fun music, and capture the flag. For my costume, I was someone that just got out of bed. I had bed hair, messy make up and I had my pj's on with a sheet wrapped around me. Two of our professors; Richard and John, went as the Cassiopea, one of the boats that got ruined in the storm. Steve, the director of the school, went as a creepy old man and was very successful at it. A few people were sharks, one guy was Hurricane Katrina. When we did our coconut painting, I made a pirate and Stewie Griffin.....they look amazing. Some others were a mouse, a hedgehog, an elephant, some pumpkins, some ghosts, Frankenstein, and a monkey. We still don't know who won the costume contest....I think most people forgot about it.

For class tomorrow, we are giving presentations. My group is presenting on sediment; the basic problem with it, types, sources, and the situation in the Caribbean. I know so much about sediment right now, I could probably bore someone to death. Bottom line though, is it's bad. That's pretty much all you need to know. Well, that's about it for now. I hope everyone had a great Halloween!!!
