So. Sorry it's been so long. Those last few weeks before I left were super crazy. They included but were not limited to an impromptu trip to Seattle to get my passport, saying LOTS of see you laters, and meeting with the GMT from Hinson.
And then I got down here and our staff computer had a block that didn't allow blogger. Well, it still doesn't, but Josie (a staff member here, I'll get to that) figured out how to make it work. YAY! So... here goes. A month of filling in:
When I got down here there was one other intern and then the administrator (as far as staff go aside from Eddie and Maggi). Andrew Spoelstra (we call him Spo) and Elise. Eddie and Maggi met me at the airport and had waited to eat dinner so that they could take me out to eat so we didn't make it back to the dorms until around 9.
Super overwhelming.
The next day, Tuesday, Megan arrived around two with her friend and former intern Graig. Two people to kick it with while Andrew was working on stuff around the dorms. Tuesday was basically my settling in day, and my driving day, which was super nerve-racking at first. But now I'm more comfortable with driving down here.
From there to here wasn't very eventful. Well, it was, but it's hard to pinpoint it all and not take all day, especially since I've only got a tiny bit of time left until I've got to get to work.
We went to Rosarito our first day off. SUPER fun. I love the beach so much. I learned how to build a house AND went to a Mexican church the weekend before that. The following weekend we took a group camping trip to La Bufa Dora, which was just INCREDIBLE because there are only two blowholes in the entire world.

It was an incredible experience. We were camping just above the blowhole and scaling mountains like crazy (which is hard to believe if you know me...)
Since then we've just been working around the dorms a lot and then just got done having a 4 day weekend group straight into a week-long group. That was incredible. Such a blast. I can now officially build a house.
Staff orientation starts this afternoon, and I'll try to update more regularly. Promise. Oh right. Staff!
