Im ready to go home I have loved it hear when I whent to senegal I became so scared to go out of the contry far away from my home and this jsut made me relax so much more I wasnt as anxious. I did well on the powerpoint and I got an award for the resident artist and I love it. Im NOT excited for the trip tommarow but ill get home. We whent for a final open ocean swim and that was so pretty I loved every moment of swimming swimming without a swimsuit felt so freeing I could just dive in and out. We did go out for another snorkel however it was so shallow and I whent without my wet suit so I was super close to the coral and it was kinda creepy then I gout surrounded by cone shells and that was an absolute hell tf naw. I would say today was successful and so was this trip cant wait to see my family Neppy and Lucca.

Today has been good I had alot of fun in the open ocean I got some fantastic videos and got to see more box fish I think they are the funniest things. we where also getting thrown around a bit by the waves that was pretty fun. I whent without my wet suit and it was so much eaiser than before I had alot more fun I almost got to see a manta ray but sadly didnt get to see it it swam away. After that it was just a blur of typing thats about all I did for the rest of the day. Only two more days I have to present tommarow im pretty nervous. but i think ill do fine.
Oh boy I am tired im not sure why we didnt do much today whent out to the docks again i got some amazing pictures. We whent out into open reef today but there wasnt to much to see I saw a shark and a turtle tho. we whent out to collect data but we couldnt find the pink belly sea cucumebrs soooooo we need to figure that out. I ate beef and now I feel sick rip idk why i did it lol. I miss home
I feel like my counting is off because I have like 4 days left like I love this island but I wanna go home I also have not burned yet OR TANNED at this point its a miracle niether have happened yeah I got a bit darker but not by much i think im a little dissapointed but it is what it iz we whent out and messured sea cucumbers it was super peaceful just going out to shark beach no people just me and my partner messuring these sea cucumbers rip my partner who got stuck in their intestines they where way stickyer than either of us expected pretty gross I also got to relax in the sun just listening to music and watching the birds they are just goofy af one came up to me while I was tying my shoe and acted like I was a new object for it it was so facinating to watch him tilt his head back and forth. I had a very peaceful day I really wanna buy a hoodie but ill need to see how much money I have after the dive I think I should have enough they are super cute and I can add to my collection ehhehehehhehehehhehehehe. Im finally not tired by 7pm though which makes me really happy I stayed up till 9 last night tommarow I will be going scubba diving im super excited Im gonna go draw now.
Today was a very chill day and I was happy with it my body and my mind I ment to go for a morning swim but ended up falling back asleep oops lol. We later whent out to see how healthy coral was and I got to see a black tip reef shark it waws funny when me and my partner both turned to eachother and did the sign for shark at the same time. But I also got scared twice by Cow tails first time I had to back away slowly from them because they where so close second time I was writing and in my view i see this cow tail right in my face maybe about a foot away max I jumped. Anyways we whent back in had a lecture ate and had free time for like 4 hours and I took the time to just relax and draw it was cold outside so i couldnt sun tan what a shame it was a bit cold too. I think today was good im not as tired as my other days but now we can do our own lab im pretty excited. Love to my family and friends.
Been extra tired today not sure why maybe all this swimming is making me tired but who knows I have my test tommarrow I already am having a bunch of anxiety so ill be studying a bit more, honestly today was just a blur we whent out and did some tests today we swam out to see how many fish where in a specific distance and i swear the ocean had it out for me today I was being thrown around like a chew toy even getting out it wasnt done with me i was being thrown to the rocks just trying to get my damn flippers off. Then we whent later for the low tide test and I thought the oceanw as done with me but NO it gave me a coral cut. you may win this time ocean and I will probably never get back at you but I spit in your seas. Still need to try vegimite maybe tommarow a little treat after the test... rip me.
Woke up early again this morning I Kinda wish I slept in but eh.... breakfast was pretty good however highschoolers have entered the island and most of us are pretty annoyed already. Our lab was fun we whent out and collected sand at different distances we also learned about invertebrates that was cool and thats what we where looking for in our lab. There where walking sharks but I didnt get to see them. When we wehre coming back we kept seeing cone shells and we where all freaked out with how many kept coming like I dont remeber seeing any going in tbh Im more scared of those than sharks atleast I can see a shark clearly. Anyways we found a shrimp thing and a large worm in our bags of sand that was fun. We whent for another swim after and I kinda wish I had stayed back (to study)and I had a massive whole in my arm pit but im also really glad I whent out because we swam right in the coral and I got to see a spotted eel and the MASSIVE logger head he was bigger than my arm span. Today was a good day but I do have to wake up early again tommarow so :/.
So turns out 5:30 is to early for me who knew (this is sarcasm). Nothing on my roomate it wasnt her fault im blaming my brain for not letting me go back to bed. Still didnt sleep great I was in and out of sleep all night long and I still froze ill be piling more blankets on tonight its a skill for me to be able to pile on so many blankets on me. But we whent out for a morning swim it was cold but wet suites help thank god there where so many sting rays its crazy apperently its called a cuddle puddle such a cute name for something so scary. I swam 2 feet next to a lemon shark that was a vibe. The amount of salt water I inhaled was awful every single time I swim in the ocean I swear it happens its like a curse. They really arent kidding when carbs are the only thing eaten for breakfast though I didnt mind it but I would really like some meat (mmmmm bacon). We got some extra free time that was nice I decided to work on a drawing and I tried out a new style im really liking it but it needs improvment. We had a lecture on the corals that was fun they are odd creatures. Anyways we whent to do a lab my group was chill. I was pretty scared because we had to watch for cone shells and I couldnt see anything in the water because of the ripple so yikes. But we had to mesure and look at stuff it wasnt hard to do but the waves made it hard. I almost slipped and hit my head but i scraped my hand but thats not to bad. I think im tanning though thats nice my hands are two differnt shades Im not sure how to feel about that (rip my hair). Im having fun here though I like the people I also listened to more rap one of the guys wanted to show me more music but eh.... still not it for me I think ill stick to my "modern swing". Please let me sleep better tonight.
