Day 12 - Still late on posting...preparing for my Oral took precendence...

Well, yesterday was a study day for a good part of the day. I stumbled out of bed, thankful to be feeling like I was on land yet again - my blood decided that it was no longer rolling around to the tune of the ocean in my body.

We all basically finished off our essays and worked on our presentations. I went down to the computer lab to save some lectures and print some reference notes. On my way back I stopped in to see Quinn (the baby seal) and he was barking away - it was quite cute.

On the way back up the hill I started practicing my oral out loud only to have to stop muttering to myself as cars went by :)

Back at Anderson, there was a small boat trip planned for those who wanted to get out one last time and after much internal debate as to whether I should stay and study or go out - I decided to go out. I mean, when am I going to be whale watching any time in the future...

It was gorgeous - the Pasamaquoody was calm, the sun was shinning and there was just a light breeze. We saw a beautiful Fin Back Whale and were all thoroughly satisfied of our last boat trip for the class. There was only 8 of us and we all felt fantastic.

We headed home, slowing down to watch some seals, and to give a few of us a turn at the helm - driving a big boat is a lot more complicated than it seems - lots of screens to watch! Then, to make us all happy, the captain tooted the horn as we all waved to the chairman of the board of Hunstman as he sat on his balcony :) It is the little things in life that make us the happiest.

Well, it was sunset, and again we watched the beauty of the horizon as we pulled in to dock. Time for ice cream! At the "Hungry Whale Cafe" we all stopped in for a treat before heading back to work most of the evening.

I recited my oral until midnight - deperately trying to memorize all of the information...

More tonight, when I write about my day today.

Loving and missing you all
