Mid Term Time

Since I don't have much to write about today, I will post a bunch of pictures of things I did up until this point that I haven't yet posted.

This is what the conch looks like out of its shell before you cut anything off.


This is me and Naomi skinning our conch after we got them out of the shells.

This is Scott eating the conch verge which is it's male part. He said it didn't taste too bad, just kind of rubbery.


This was us at children's day. I am with Nick and Courtney and a bunch of the kids. They were the ones that tried to give Court dreads. The girl with the pink shirt next to me is the one that was very disappointed in my hula hooping abilities.

This was a bunch of us taking freshwater showers from the leaky gutters. It poured that day and we all smelled so we grabbed our shampoo. I am on the left, Devynn is in the middle and Liz is on the right. Courtney and Scott were playing frisbee.

This was on our trip to Middleton. Courtney was trying to make the best of the situation, I look exactly how I felt, as does Katie.

This was us walking home in the rain on Friday. We were coming back from Chicken Bar, which is only like 5 blocks away, but it was pouring. From left to right: Nick, me, Alyssa, Christina, Katie.

This was us playing volleyball, look at that form. Juston is on the left, then me, then Ashley, Danielle was up at the net setting.
This is Team Mangrove, the ones we lost to. Mitch is the ridiculously tall one, Steve is in the dark shorts, Gabe is in the red short, and Kyle, one of the interns, is in the khaki shorts.


This week has been very boring so far. We have mid terms starting tomorrow so we've had study time and directed research time all week. We have had optional snorkels every afternoon as well. Good thing I did not go on the snorkel yesterday because they got stalked by a barracuda the entire time and they went to a place that I have been to twice already.

Last night we had the volleyball tournament. My team went to the finals but we ended up losing to team Mangrove. Their team wasn't that great, but it was made up of 4 guys that were 6'1, 6'5, 6'3, and 6'7 and the net was probably only 6 feet high. It was quite funny to play them though, at the beginning of the game they played some really dramatic music and walked out onto the court, it was hilarious.

Our finals schedule is: Environmental Policy on Friday, Marine Ecology on Saturday, Resource Management on Monday and Directed Research on Tuesday, then we have break.

Oh, I almost forgot, turtling got canceled on Tuesday because the winds and currents were too strong. We are eventually going to go, we just don't know when yet. Well that's about it for now, take care!!
