It’s a little toasty here in Belize.
I do look forward to heading to the comfort
of home in a little over a week. I want
to be fully present and enjoy my time here, which I am. But home is not far from my mind. The plethora of bug
bites / chemical burns from deet mixed with sunscreen aside, it is comfortable
here. We have beds and showers. We are working constantly and learning at
every moment. It’s hard to give you the
typical day since every day is different.
But for me, I wake at about 4:30am or 5:00am every
morning. This gives me time to read my
bible and pray a little. Also it’s a
good time to journal. Breakfast is at
6:00am typically and then some sort of class discussion or activity
follows. So far as activities go, we
have designed and tested a couple of experiments both at the nature center and
the zoo, gone on nature walks, gone to the howler monkey sanctuary, attended a
homestay, toured some Mayan ruins, and today we head off to the Cayes for our
coral section of the course. The days
are long though, since we finish our last discussion at about 8:30pm or 9:00pm
typically. I am the type of person who
goes to bed shortly after that if I can.
I may journal then, but usually I am too tired.
I have actually managed to catch a cold, the snotting,
coughing, throaty, sneezy type. And it
has drained me. I was blessed enough to
get to skip out on one lecture though, it was a review of some of the
statistics that we covered online over the past few weeks. So it’s really cool to have such flexible
leaders here.
Anyway…with the time crunch, I am going to have to run…so,
[insert lovely blog wrap-up here].
