Home again

Yesterday was our last day in Bermuda. We woke up to rain, which was fine with us since we had to spend all day inside listening to everyone's final presentations. They were surprisingly interesting since we were all talking about the same thing. I went 9th and was really excited because noone else had given a presentation on my topic yet... until the guy right before me. Go figure. We look at the data very differently so our presentations were very different. I was really bummed though because my font had changed when I moved the file from my computer to the presentation one. And some of my colors were messed up... but people asked a lot of questions and I was able to answer them all so I was happy. After lunch we took a group photo then it was time to head off to the airport.

The flight home was uneventful until we went from Atlanta to Wilmington. The kid sitting behind me was drunk before he got on the plane and was obnoxious the whole way home. And the stewardess served him more alcohol on the plane.... it went downhill from there. Pretty irritating.... but really, if that was the only irritating part of the trip, I'm very lucky. I got to see all the animals I was looking for while we were there. We had an amazing time. All of the students were really nice. And everyone got along well. The group I worked with all week was very organized and we got our projects planned quickly and were able to complete them. The other group had a harder time. It was an issue of too many top dogs...
I've posted about 600 of the 1400 pictures I took while I was in Bermuda. Here are the links

Now that I'm back I have two papers to write that are due tomorrow and Tuesday. I also start back to work at Surf House tomorrow. So things will be going back to normal. But normal for me is exciting for everyone else. Life is so good. My family is very blessed. Colleen finally got word that she was accepted to Florida State for grad school. It was her first choice and all the other schools had wait listed her. We had just talked earlier today about how she would get in where she was supposed to be and sure enough :-) She and I have been talking about her possibly coming to stay with me for a while this summer. It would be lots of fun. But for now, I've wasted enough time and have work to do... I can't blame it on island time any more :-)
