So i am going to update on yesterday minua the bad stuff, here goes:
I woke up soooo early (especially hard after going to bed around 2). I jumped in my car and drove down the suprisingly non-trafficky 110 until i got to the institute. I passed it an accidentally drove into a federal prison, but i pu,led a sweet u-turn and got back. We got on the boat, which was so cute,a nd took off. It was a fun ride, runnign from the top to the lower deck to the cabin, and reading david sedaris. When we finally got there, our host gave us a tour. I had been to the institute about 9 months earlier, so i knew it word for word, but ti was sweet. Then we met with this grad student who was workign with oyster larvae. She was uber-boring, but i took it upon myself to interact with her instead of ignorign her liek everyone else. We talked about how i should go to USC (lame), and her experiments (borign), but then we talked about what it wa sliek to date your lab partner and stuff. it was so much fun. Then we had lunch (yuck) and decided to go kayaking. It was really fun, and i was the only person who vrought a swimsuit. We kayked in caves and around the island, and then we decided to go cliff diving. Peter, giachano, and i crawled up this really sharp mountain. It was really scary to take the first step, but i did. It was such a rush, it took about 2 hours to fall formt he top of the cliff to the bottom, but it was sweet. We played aorund and did kayak cake walks and stuff and thne went back. The wind was clowing so hard i thought we would never make it, but we did. We showered and got dried off and sat in the sun readign and tnaning. Esther and i went on a vendign mahcine excursion. I really wanted and almond joy. the first tiem i tried it didn't work, because the candy bar got stuck, but i thought, i'll jsut try again. it didn't work that time either. I decided it was a message from god and got diet coke instead. The boa ride back was sunny and gorgeous. I napped in the sinw ith the sal spray on my back. We got back to the mainland i got made a worng turn and ended up in long beach. i kenw where i was, but i wa snot pleased. I eventually got back and then went home. When i got home i found, waiting for my, a box form anthropologie. There is this skirt i was in love with, but i never bought it becuase it was expensive, i fianlly decided to get it last week, but they were sold out all over LA. My mom called the store in Arizona and bought it for me. YEA!
