Sunburnt...

After a long day at work the cuddles from my roommates cats are seriously THE BEST. They are the cutest and so snuggly.

So today was a long, hear, fun day at work.
We started our day at 7:30 am with an adult group kayak and snorkel. The sun was shining bright and I was up on the kayak while they snorkeled to keep an eye on everyone. The morning sun si always what gets me. I put sunscreen on every morning when I wake up but Im not usually in the sun until like noon. Today, I was out with that early morning sun. It felt great (even though 7:30 is damn early to be at work!!).

After our Kayak and Snorkel, I was headed on the sailboat cruise because Amber decided to slice her finger open and couldn't go in the water. It was only my second time on the boat and I guess it went ok. While in the water, It was hard to keep everyone together so I could tell them stuff, but thats alight. We saw at least three green sea turtles and I got to bust out my reptile knowledge!

After the snorkel, we sailed a bit before going to St. John so we could do a guided nature hike. That was fun, I love talking to people about land stuff. I also was hanging in the back of the group with a woman who's son seemed to have a lot in common with me. Talking about myself is pretty easy haha.

But for real, talking to strangers is exhausting... I can't brain right now...

And I got sunburnt. I applied three times but I think it was that morning sun that got me right away. Everyone says they can't see it but for me just getting a little pink is a huge bummer I definitely am a bit red, especially on my nose and forehead. I can feel my skin is a little tight. Dont worry though! Ive got Aloe and Vitamin C lotion that I am going to slather on!

JAKE GETS HERE THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...

Summerfest Day 1

Amazing. I was just going tonight to hang and  see some bands, no expectations, but SFest delivered on its first day. My friend Alex and I got there a bit early so we walked around the shops and the smaller stages. We stumbled upon Five Knives which were like a hip-hop-y Ke$ha. If you know me at all you'd know that I probably loved it. They were pretty fun. Then a bit later when we were sitting watching a local sax band play, the fireworks started. I never NEED to see the big bang but its always a pleasure when I see it. I got great seats by accident sitting on a table. I always have a smile on my face when I watch colorful explosions in the sky. Then, the white out, massive explosion that is the epic finale. I couldn't see anything for at least a minute afterwards. I love when the loudness is felt in your heart and there is so much going on that its just a colorful mess. Most excellent. Then we went to find Bastille. As soon as they came on I was extremely impressed. H...
