Do you want to know how tough I am?
I stepped on the back of a Cottonmouth Snake and only cried for 15 minutes.
Okay, I'm exaggerating only 5 minutes.
At the moment, just finishing out the 4th week of the internship down here in the current 95 high-that-actually-feels-like-112 degree weather Grenada, M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-P-P-I
We have been clearing out an area onsite for a graveyard with historical significance near Phillip, MS. It's cool to see the transformation of an area and help people find their ancestors deep inside the forest.
Guess where we traveled to...You guessed it!
Elvis Presley in Tupelo, MS to visit a DOI fish hatchery and actually see what they do with species such as Alligator Gar, Large-mouth Bass, and Crayfish. They had some cutting edge technology and met some local YCC talent.
Don't be messin' with my herps.
Besides that, me and the other intern have been doing general maintenance projects and using our young, able bodies to help out wherever we can. Should be starting on some bio projects next week though, looking forward to that most definitely.

Even though this town may seem a little slow and all (well I'm the one to talk, I go to college in the middle of Georgia), I've adjusted to the kind of slow paced town atmosphere.
But I understand why it is slow paced.
It's not just hot. It's disgustingly hot. And humid.
But the little things are what matter the most, honestly. I mean I found some supplies around the complex to make into a mini workout.
I used the old birdhouses to do "birdhouse throws."
And also it doesn't take much to entertain me anyways. I chased rabbits for like 2 hours last evening.
Buh-bye 'til next time folks.
