Well I have now finished the 2nd week of my internship, 6 more weeks to go. Acutually, it is going rather well. My fellow workers are all really cool, and we all clicked immediately. So far I have tested my own pee for its contents while consuming a shot of salt water, and learned how to survive in the very confusing world of worm/human genomic databases. The weather here is perfect, not too hot and not too cold. I have actually had time to work on my paintings and other crafts and although life is rather slow around The Village, my cabana dwellers and I have managed to keep somewhat busy. The only problem is the wildlife. Yes, I said wild life. Many of you may have heard me brag about our friendly deers, but The Village is populated with much more. A pack of coyotes live across the way from my cabana and keep me up with their howling and yelping. Also mountiain lions frequent the area. I have yet to see one ( hopefully it stays that way), but many a people have repeorted their sighings and there are bulletins posted all over the place. I refuse to walk around at night at the off chance that I be attacked by a mountain lion, a pack of coyotes, snakes( yes their here too) or rabid deer, squierls and prairie dogs( which are in abundance) Although this may seem like an amusment park to those reading this, believe me, i like nature, but this is out of control. On a better note, I have been going to the beach on a regular basis, ( i actually plan on going today) and have recovered my long lost tan.Well the shower is finally unoccupied and if im gonna have a chance at lukewarm water I better get in there. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves. Keep in touch. Love you
