flag day, wahooooo
happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeee
happy flag day to everyone else :)
actually, both were yesterday, so i'm a bit belated in my greetings. nonetheless, happy june 14th.
i am now officially ... GASP.... 24. that's. um. old. i know i know, i'm not really aged or wrinkly or stooped over just yet, but hey, 24 is no young chickadee. i've hit the mid-20s. yikes-o-rama. i'm just waiting for the gray hairs to appear. haha, and my mom specifically warned me to take care of my skin and health and.. well, everything else like she typically does.
i spent my 24th birthday aboard our 90-foot research vessel all day from 8am to 5pm. we did drills (man overboard! fire! abandon ship!) under the intense sun from morning to late afternoon, and despite some serious heat and delirium, it actually turned out pretty well. i EVEN got to jump in the incredible (and salty and plankton-y but COOL!) bay water for our man overboard situations. haha, it was awesome. we bobbed around in full-blown floatcoats and lifejackets. totally hilarious. and dennis, our land program director, managed to act as a victim for all 8 situations. he's great at flailing in the water and getting hauled up and down out of the water. hehe. "it's a good day to be a victim" :)
and now, it's friday. phew.
