Here is a video of our cat, Good, bringing us a live present one day while we were hanging out in the bungalow. Please excuse our profanity, there is a swear dropped, but what else are you supposed to say when a cat brings you a live lizard (we aren't cat owners, we have no experience with this). Our cat was pretty sad after this that we didn't appreciate his hard work.

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. Hours today: 2 Hours total: 5

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
