Big day for a Monday. We discovered this morning before
breakfast that our groups had changed...sad face. So to be quite honest today
has been kinda weird because the group dynamic isn't the same as it's been the
last..wow..7 days. But so far it's been very good!
We started this morning on our kinda mystery project of
finding out what the story behind the King's Farm. We used a GIS (don't ask me
what it stands for, I don't remember) system to mess with all the picture maps
to see that over time that place was used for farming and then pine tree
harvesting it looks like..so far. Strange. Anyways, after a yummy lunch we had
a talk with the director of Environmental Science and he basically tried to
recruit us for Sewanee (and let me tell you it was verrryyy tempting!)
Group A (the one I'm in) :D got to go canoeing this
afternoon!!! It was SOOOO much fun!!! The guys were tipping everyone left and
right, but my group luckily got away...for a while. Eventually we got tipped
about 4 times. It was super fun though :D.
After dinner tonight
we shall go on a night hike, basically a nightmare of invisible snakes and
writhing poison ivy for me and a relaxing moonlit stroll for the rest of the
group. YIKES! If anyone is actually reading this, we are amassing more bruises
and scrapes every day, though no poison ivy or tick bites yet thank heavens.
Emma and Clark are doing better with there cuts from the bike crash a few days
ago, and are healing more and more every day. I can't speak for EVERYONE...but
for the most part we all are having SO much fun and already becoming a bit sad
about this whole thing coming to an end. Sniff sniff :'(
