Well, we were all up by 6 and ready to go by 7:30 a.m. only to be told that the fog was too thick and we weren't going on the Grand Manane Boat Trip - I think we all had droopy shoulders and frowns on our very disappointed faces.
So - the trip is on for tomorrow. Hopefully! And today we filled our day with the rest of the lectures. The half that did not go on the first boat trip went today and the rest of us went to study in the computer lab.
Huntsman was holding an event in the Anderson house and they didn't want us students hanging around while they were trying to dig into some wealthy purses for more funding...so us lowly students had to stear clear of our temperary home for the day - which was very inconvenient and completely rude in my opinion.
Well, we were supposed to be seen only for 9:30 p.m. but I couldn't take it anymore and snuck back in at 9:00 :)
We had a BBQ down near the computer labs this evening and we were served beer with burgers - I guess to placate us from having to stay away from the residence. And then, Jerrica, Briane and I were walking back up to the lecture hall and we hitched a ride in the back of a pick up truck! LMAO! It was so cool - never having done that and only seeing it in the movies was quite a thrill - felt like a real hill billy :)
We had a guest lecturer, Dr. Jack Turhune, who gave us a presentation on Pinniped Vocalizations (Seal Calls), it was okay, can't say he was the best lecturer, just okay.
Well, my essay is done :) Off to Tanya for editing and I am desperately trying to work on the oral presentation to try and finish it tonight. We have a free day (until 5:30) on thursday, but I was hoping to use that for studying for the final exam...I think it should be okay... I guess we'll see :)
Missing home very much, my room, both of my loves, my shower (very much) and most of all just getting back to my little routine.
Love you all and miss you tons
