Day off in the Mountains.

Ok, so it's my day off right now, I have no excuse not to update. Week 2 is going well, the volunteers are SUPER skilled in construction matters. We have 6 contractors here this week! So glad that our projects are going quickly and smoothly this week.

My first day off was today! I drove to Virginia last night and came back home today. The drive was beautiful. It was really nice to have that time to relax and wind down. It's been about a month of non-stop work, so the day off was well earned and well spent. My next day off is less than a week from now, and I'll finally get to see the fam! They're coming down to camp around Appalachia for awhile, and picking me up along their way to join them for a night. More importantly, mom is coming on runs with me on monday! She's never been on ASP so this will be a great time to show her what it's all about and why I love it so much.

And I sure do love it here. I feel like it's so right for me to be here right now. I know I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again, but I needed this change in my life. For a long time now I've really had no direction and I can't really way what it is I exactly want to do with the rest of my life. After changing my major 3 times so far, I finally feel good about going into marine science. I have a passion for science and the ocean, so it seems fitting. But I also have a passion for people, and nothing has ever felt as right as what I'm doing this summer. So long story short, I'm still considering life options. Again. Ideas and opinions for me? I've love to hear.

I miss my family and friends at home a lot. It's been great here and I've met amazing people, but I sure do miss mom, dad, Annie and Andrew, Dre, Brigid, Emily, Erika (who left for Spain today!), and Kris. Best friends a girl could ask for. Love and miss you guys.

On a final note: send me stuff! I love mail.
