After saying that I wasn't going to drink until New Years.... I participated in the beer olympics yesterday. The beer olympics included splitting everyone into groups of three, randomly and assigning a country. My team was me, Natalie and Megan. We were a little nervous that our team wouldn't be very good, but we won our opening rounds. The games included flip cup, civil war, speed ball and anchor man. The non-Americans thought it was a little biased and assum...

The first weekend, I participated in this ritual. I drank like 4 beers, so I was intoxicated enough to be there and if you remember I described it as Roadrunners. Cool.

For the first 1.5 hours we towed around these boogie boards that are painted to loo...

Many more adventures from Oceans. Yesterday I went fishing for the first time. That's a good joke. Apparently I was magically supposed to know how to connect a reel to a rod and tie up everything and put bait on a hook. Yeah, I didn't. This was the only frustrating part about fishing in that the field specialist in charge of it seemed too busy fishing himself (someone else could've held his line) and didn't want to help me. Which is his job. Just th...
