I've been sitting with Hanna and Dylan for over an hour and watching them do their project is one of the most entertaining thins I have ever done. It is currently 10:56pm which is the latest I have been up or at least out of bed for the past couple of weeks and it is hitting me hard! Audrey just came into the study room told me she was fluffy as we hugged and then went to bed (might not be exactly how it happened). I'm sitting here trying really hard to think of something to write about and thenI realized, I have a lot of things to be thankful for. As I cross days out of the calendar and leaving the Island gets closer I realize how much I have enjoyed every minute of this trip. All the weird things we talk about, the occasional fart/burp you hear but are not quite sure where it came from and when you are it's far to awkward to acknowledge, all the different personalities we have that still get along, and the facial expressions Trisha and Edd have of "what did we get into" when they hear our stories our thoughts about our daily adventures. I almost feel like we will all become a series of dinner table stories they will tell their family members which is something I hope actually happens and hope if fills up all those awkward silences that happen at dinner tables far too often. In different ways everyone here has taught me something but one of the best things I've learned in this trip is that there is always something to laugh about. We don't take ourselves too seriously which I think is something that has helped us get along so well. We spent half this trip laughing, mostly about Hanna's weird/great obsession with ferrets and #FERRETFINGERS, and the other half learning cool things about corals, fishes and the ocean. I am thankful for each and everyone of my WATS 3450 class mates and instructors but most of all I am thankful for Robert (the sea hare at the touch tank) who lets me man handle him without inking on him...yet.
P.S. This is a picture of Robert's cousin, Richard. Unfortunately Robert is asleep right no so I'll have to wait to get a picture tomorrow. Meanwhile enjoy Richard The Sea hare. :) You are welcome!

MelissaI am Colombian, if you scare me I will scream in Spanish... trust me it is possible. I am an Environmental studies major and I really like cake preferably vegan. I apologize in advanced for my horrible grammar and spelling, I could lie and blame it on the "English as a second language" thing but It's not that it's me. |
