Hazy first days

I arrived last night, I think. It was pretty late when I got here at the Trust, but somehow still managed to get taken out to some bar on the beach. Lots of stars in the sky. But it was only today that I could see how nice the beach really is. Crystalline turquoise. I'm going to try to find a cheap snorkel kit somewhere, and get PADI certification too. I've seen a colobus or two, too. And some sort of miniature antelope, a giant rat thing, and some interesting birds. And a crazy-looking spider and a bunch of giant millipedes everywhere. and there is a kitten who gave me cat hickies on my arm. As for people, not so many volunteers here, but it's good that way.

I must sound retarded right now. I'm tired and jet lagged. Confused and disoriented. I haven't had my briefing yet either, because it's the weekend, so until Monday I will be not-quite-knowing what's going on. And today was a national holiday too. But there seems to be issues with the new management. I'm hoping it doesn't turn all dramarama.

Tomorrow there's supposed to be a Goat Derby that we're all going to. Hmm yes.

  2. Cool, sounds like animals o'clock. What work exactly will you be doing at this place, forgive me for my ignorance but these days I can't seem to keep anything in my brain except guitar chords and avril lavigne songs.
