Today I had only two classes! Plenary and Astronomy. Plenary was all about attention today, which was funny because I was having a difficult time paying attention. Astronomy is going to be so amazing! My professor (Leslie Wickman) is a beast! She is a trained astronaut, she helped make the hubble telescope and the Belogio fountain, she played pro volleyball and football, and she has some top secret government work. Crazy!!! I am so excited to be learning from her! I love gazing at the stars so I am going to love knowing more then the eighth grade science behind the sky :)
After lunch the girls all went to town (Oakhurst) to buy anything we forgot at home. Then we also stopped by a thrift store, which was essentially a house made into a store but it poured out into the front and back lawn. It was so huge and we only had fifteen minutes! Emily bought an awesome dinosaur costume though lol :)
Then we went to the Lake where a pontoon boat was waiting for us. Half the group went then the other half waited on the shore. I went with the second group so me and several other girls swam out to an island in the lake (maybe 1/10th miles away). It was so fun! I love being able to do crazy things with these girls. We have so many laughs at ourselves and each other, which makes it even better! Going on the boat was really fun too, I've never been on that kind of a boat so it was definitely an experience :)
So far today has been amazing...tiring, but amazing!
It was also really neat to be able to just hang out with the professors. Prof Wickman wen to the lake with us and hiked back to campus with us girls so we were able to just talk and get to know each other better outside of the classroom. :)
