GALAPAGOS Y'ALL

Hey all. Its been awhile and I've missed this a lot. Ive thought about writing a blog for so long but never give myself the push to actually DO it. Well here we are. This may be a rough read since its been so long.

So, tomorrow Im headed to the Galapagos with a bunch of friends and family. I can't wait! I wanted a big hoorah for my 30th year and the birthplace of science seemed like a fitting place :)

Ive been researching and obsessing and getting excited and hoping that Ive planned this all correctly. No amount of time is enough time to feel fully prepared for a trip like this. It'll be interesting since we are planning it all ourselves but Im sure it'll work out and be fantastic.

We have an AirBnB house that is my dream vacation home! Thats really what sparked this whole thing, the house. Ive been thinking about the Galapagos for months but then I found this house and knew I HAD to have it. It was relatively inexpensive and absolutely gorgeous. Ill post pics when I get down there (uh, hopefully...).

Im also super excited to completely nerd out over all the biology thats everywhere. There will be lots of squealing for sure. (If you've ever seen me react to anything I find biologically fascinating, you know what that squeal sounds like). Y'all, there are penguins! and marine iguanas! and turtles! and cacti! and soooo many other amazing things that I can't wait to see and explore and learn about.

Hopefully this post is the catalyst to many more coming quickly. I have missed pounding away at the keys and seeing my thoughts develop on the screen.

Chao!!

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...
