So, after Monday this week was pretty boring.  I went to work Tuesday and watched the Nova camp children swim.  When I got home I did laundry, cleaned my room and cooked. 
       Wednesday I worked at Nova.  Then I went to the museum and working in the touch tank area, the ecoscapes area and the storm center area.  The touch tank was the usual "hey look at the horse shoe crab," it's not a star fish it's a sea star," and "no the urchin can't hurt you."  The ecoscapes area is the tank area where they have a tank with two dag sharks and one cat shark.  Also an awesome lobster that looks like it could be over 20 lbs.  There are also two reefs; one man made and one "natural." They are trying to convey the difference between a man made reef and a real one I think.  The storm center area has a mini tornado, a cloud maker, some games and a hurricane simulation.  I used the hurricane simulation to dry off after the touch tank.  It was pretty successful.  That night i went to class. 
      Thursday I worked a double at Nova so I got home pretty beat. 
      Friday I worked at Nova where I helped with the classes because they were understaffed and  a young girl had a fecal accident so we had to close the pool.   Then took an online test that lasted 2.5 hours weee.  Finally I drank sangria and played Diablo, because I earned it. 
     Today I worked at the yacht club.  It was cloudy and humid so there weren't a lot of swimmers.  I almost had to pull an extra shift because the person after me didn't show up and there was some confusion about who was supposed to cover.  I have no idea where my boss was the whole time, but we figured it out.  I then ran a mile (I hate running, and it's not like I haven't swam or walked this whole week I just felt like running was more of an accomplishment since I dislike it so much) .
   Now I am going to take a quiz and finish my lab for monday so that tomorrow I can go to the yacht club and work again. 
(ps mom I have no idea who salty single is, but I wouldn't friend her until you let me look at her facebook and double check.  Also I  couldn't understand her name over the phone I hope I heard wrong)

Mom said that Leland said that I needed to write a blog.  Apparently i am hilarious via email and they feel that my funniness might reflect into a blog.  I kinda feel like this might be like the time where Leland harassed me into getting a twitter account and I posted maybe twice then I never posted again.  Fun times.  Oh well...so for my update today I will go over what I did for my vacay in Charleston!!!

Thursday I got on the train and I met a very hot swedish student and sandra bullocks Manager (apparently).  We talked  a lot and when I say we I mean the manager guy.  The food in the dining car was pretty good and saturated in butter (which is why it was good).  We ended up being pretty late so I didn't get into charleston until 11:00.  Which by then all the restaurants had closed but smokey bones.  I got a blush sangria and a potato with BBQ on it, which I miss so much (Florida BBQ is nasty). 
     The next day I went with Mike and Matt to restaurant hop downtown.  We went to the Patat spot and had falafel and french fries.  The falafel was delicious and the dipping sauce for the french fries was awesome.  Especially the curry or maybe the garlic caper sauce.  Truthfully I liked all of them.  In this restaurant I discovered to-go wine which will be a staple in my beach bag from now on.  We then went to mellow mushroom to get a drink and take a break.  I got to see some of my old advisors from CofC there which was nice.  Finally we went to Baby Burger where I got the chiriso burger the tempura shrimp and the regular burger.  All very small but very delicious.  And this is where I discovered a Margarita in a can by Bud Light (Hint don't try it).  We then went home I played Diablo 3 and hit level 60.  I know this means nothing to you but It was Awesome!
         Saturday we went to play disc gold which was 18 holes of me stinking and wishing that I could scream "Ultimate" every time I "teeed" off.  There are different frisbees for each type of throw (exp: long versus short distance).  There are even putter discs.  It is a very serious sport.  We then went to Madra Rue, an Irish pub where I got a Shepard's pie.  Pretty good.  Michael's french dip sandwich was better.  I stole his food.  We switched meals.  When we got home we went swimming in the complexes pool which is right next to the gym and a bunch of ponds full of turtles.  Their complex is really nice truthfully. The kitchen is huge and they have a sun room for my aquarium to live in three bedroom and two bathrooms.  It is a huge upgrade from where they used to live. 
Sunday we went for a walk and then to Sweets and Papas.  they seemed very happy and we discussed golf a lot.  (Happy Fathers day to Papa sorry Michelson stinks).  Then we went to Cinnebar and watched the Avengers because Joss Whedon is a movie god and fried pickles are delicious.  We ended Sunday at outback with drinks, and steak (we split the lobster filet plate).
        I went to bed early and was on the train by 5 am which was late because we hit a dear and were leaking radiator fluid.  I put all of the pictures up on facebook if you want to see but the highlights should be on the blog if I did this right.
