5:57 We got to sleep in today until 6:15 because it was a Saturday and we didn't need to do farm work. Saturday is market day, so we headed up to the top of the farm to pack all of the produce into the truck for Aragorn so he could go to market. We returned to our bungalow and ate some breakfast and hung out for a little before hiking back up to the top of the farm to drive to the market. We had to deliver some more produce to Aragorn there to sell. We hung out there for a while and met other farmers on the island. We met another really nice farmer named Sam who had worked for Aragorn since she was 17 but since has started her own farm on the island. We ate lunch at a cool coffee house/gallery with locally grown food.

After the market, we had to go get to the dive boat. Today we went to Dry Rock. Bruce joined us again, along with two new divers, but they were diving with another guide. Frances saw a baby trunkfish!! But sadly, I didn’t even get to see it!!! :(((.

I also read a ton more of my book today which is so good. And after brutally being torn apart for so long, it has turned a point and putting me back together again. I can’t put it down. (Still reading a Little Life).

Hours today: 8
Hours total: 116 Ps. I’m sorry the format looks weird, I don’t know why this happened or how to reverse it.

Weekly Reflection #1 May 5th, 2019, 7:15 pm My first week of senior project has been an incredible experience and extremely rewarding. This week I learned an enormous amount about scuba diving. Starting with my e-certification course, I learned all about buoyancy and the theory behind scuba diving. I completed numerous skills, completing emergency procedures for mishaps underwater. The first time I took my mask off underwater at the beginning of the week, pure panic struck me and I started to accidentally suck water in through my nose. Even with my regulator in, it felt like I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t see anything. Now, I have taken it on and off in a number of dives as deep as 45 feet and it doesn’t phase me at all. I learned how to keep myself calm in situations and am very proud to have made it through my night dive without any panic or serious fear. The whole week was amazing. I got to dive already at so many different dive sites, and there are more to come. I feel confident

7:18 pm Today,  I woke up bright and early at ten to six, rolled out of bed and grabbed my bags and headed through the rain to the car. My mom brought me to Boston Logan and I boarded a flight to San Juan. Once there, I had a 3 hour layover in the airport before boarding a second, shorter flight to Tortola. The travel was long but smooth. During my 3 hour layover in San Juan, I was able to get 2 more hours of e-learning done, moving towards my certification. Progress was slightly slowed due to slow wifi in the airport. I also today finally got to start my book Educated by Tara Westover. Which everyone has said to read, and has been sitting in my room since Christmas. And like everyone who has read it, I also recommend! I am almost done with it. Really great book.

May 9th 2019, Posted May 10th 9:51 pm because we did not have wifi before Today I woke up suddenly from a downpour of rain on the tin roof of our bungalow. I climbed out of my mosquito-netted bed and got dressed. This morning I had to eat cereal because our burner would not turn on so we could not cook our 4 surviving eggs from last nights crisis. By 7 we were up at the main house to begin our work. First, we filled orders that the farm had received. The orders go to restaurants, other farmers, and locals on the island as well as charity for people who need food. We filled them with an assortment of produce including pineapple, passion fruit, mango, papaya, pumpkin, arugula, mustard, chives, dill, mint, spinach, lettuce, cucumber, lime, basil, Thai basil, and the list continues. After we had filled 3 orders and cut a bunch more harvest that we needed, we began to pick white beans. Luckily, it was raining all morning so it wasn’t too hot while we picked. It was pretty peaceful actu
