Hey y'all! Okay I know I am slightly computer challenged but I cannot post any comments! Please tell me I'm not the only one?!
And sorry for the delay. Tuesday was a little hectic, traveling and unpacking.
Florida was amazing! I mostly laid on the beach and swam in the ocean. But the cottage provided free bikes, so I went on a 10 mile ride through the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge and it was a blast! We saw dolphins on our last full day there. They swam about 10 feet away from a nice little family and the family didn't even notice! We told them when they came out of the water and in exchange for our information they gave us lychee fruits.
I started work this week. It's been pretty fun but a little slow. I've been working in the green house, pollinating flowers and collecting styles. I get to use the fancy fluorescence microscope on Monday! And for all the chemists out there, I had to make 8M NaOH. For the non-chemists, it is an extremely basic solution that gets really hot when you make it and smells. According to all the comments I got, I look pretty good in the lab coat and goggles, so... yeah.
Today was full of mini adventures. Upon discovering a need for a bike pump and WD-40, I decided to venture to the store to by some essentials for the summer, including: a blender, running shorts, batteries, cups with crazy straws attached, 99 cent squirt-guns, graham crackers, and york pieces. After I acquired the necessary equipment, I skillfully picked the lock to Jordan's bike, tuned it up, and took it for a spin to Maple Farms and beyond. I love Maple Farms. Words cannot describe its awesomeness. There are chickens, ice cream, and fruit. What else, really, is there in life?
I am loving the posts! Since I can't seem to comment... shout out to Hannah for an awesome post. Mia, it sounds like a whole new world! and Dylan, I love general laziness. Keep up the good work!
