Aloha! It is almost tropical out here today, hence the warm and friendly greeting. I really don't have the time to blogging today or anytime in the next 2 days but after getting some positive reviews I figured I couldn't let you all down. Since Wednesday not a whole lot has happened. It's crazy that you think that you need to put time into working and reading yet I just don't have any stories to tell then. My presentation on Wednesday went alright. Public speaking really ain't that bad. Friday we went out on the boats and saw some more gray whales, harbor seals, and other miscellaneous wildlife. Friday night we participated in the first bonfire of the year at Pachena Beach. Twas fun. We left early though to have a movie night and eat popcorn! Yay! I finally got some. It tasted incredible I must say.

Yesterday saw me working all day on my project proposal and presentation for Tuesday. I thought we did something fun but we really didn't. We watched Surf's Up to get a good dose of laughter but I ended up falling asleep. LOL. Today was incredible though. Being so busy this last week, my quiet time with God has gotten shorter and shorter. So I knew that today would be nice. I spent my usual 2 hours down at a quiet part of the inlet having my own little church service. And as expected, it was amazing. There is nothing quite like being by the water worshiping God. I have a couple podcasts of Insight for Living to listen to. Learning about joy and just spending time with God today has given me hope and taken away my stress for the upcoming week. I'm not going let my God time vanish this week, it's way too important.

I then had a 2 hour nap before lunch. After lunch Allison and I just chatted and worked hard on our stuff. We are planning on a walk soon tonight to release some stress. Everyone is freaking out up here to get these papers done. I am sure that it is going to be much worse in a couple weeks when the real project paper is due. Eek!

Only 4 more weeks. The past 2 have flown by and after this week we aren't having regular lecture times, so it will go by even faster I think. We get to head out to work on our projects on July 8 or so for a couple days, so I am looking forward to that. As for my knee, well, I'm taking it easy for the time being. It's so hard to sit back from all the activities going on here. I just have to pick and chose which ones I would rather do. Well, hope you enjoyed the pictures once again. I guess it's more fun than reading this whole long thing.

Oh I almost forgot. It's disappointing that there are no good sports to be updated on now. After my Boston Celtics beat Andy's Los Angeles Lakers this week I have no one to cheer for. Ha and that victory was bet on with me winning a meal at the Keg! Oh yeah I can taste it now. I think the bragging rights are 100 times better. Later days!
