Today I started my adventure with Cape Eleuthera Institute in Rock Sound, Eleuthera, Bahamas. Ian and another intern were waiting for me at the airport along with the head of development, Mary. We ventured our way to campus and arrived around 5ish. I had time to organize my clothes before dinner. I am staying with, as of now, three other girls. Katelyne, a cute blonde who is from New Jersey, she has been here for a while. Jana who is Slovakian just arrived yesterday; she is an intern who will be working with sharks with me. She has been working with sharks since she was 17. Jana is very social, I like talking with her, and I feel comfortable with her. Crystal is a black girl, I haven’t really had time to talk with her yet but she seems really nice.
Zack the intern who was at the airport goes to school at Stoneybrook in Long Island, studying Marine Biology. He is very feminine but we got along well. Niels is leading the Nurse Shark research (apparently I am studying nurse sharks instead of juvenile lemon sharks). He is a cute kid, very tall and skinny, from Illinois. We walked over to the dining hall all together. We had some rice, some type of vegetable soup, and fresh delicious vegetables. The tomatoes were so delicious. I ate dinner with Zack, Jana, and Niels. Then we walked around the School doing the tour again.
After we got back into our dorms, I spotted some lounge chairs right by the water. Our dorm is literally 2 Meters from the ocean. I grabbed my book and headed down to the water. I was reading alone for a little while then Zack joined me. It was actually a bit chilly; I had to put on a long sleeve shirt. Once I was done reading I went back to the dorm and startred typing this blog. Now I am going to brush my teeth and put on my pajamas and hopefully talk to the girls and get to know them.
