Grocery/layout/vball/snorkel/dessert night/pub

This morning is grocery day and we are all excited because the pantries are getting quite low. To Aldis and Woolworth (typical grocery store) we go. What another beautiful day and we were all taking advantage of it. Out to the beach I went for some sun---a dog who apparently doesn't listen very well the owner said came up and jumped on my back while I was laying there---she couldn't get her dog off and he covered me in sand and scratched up my back---there are leashes for a reason but I guess she was training him. I took a walk down the beach and back and then came back to my cabin.
A few students through together a volleyball game so I jumped in---if its one thing that brings all the students together its volleyball---everyone comes out to support the teams and gets really involved! This is a great group of students---for the most part lol----but they all really do get along and work together.
Cami, Jen, and Lizzie took me snorkeling down by the peak (far right end of the beach). I was very nervous---however we didn't go in more then knee deep water. We saw lots of fish which creeped me out a little---striped fish and sea urchins (I held an orange and black one and it used its tentacles to stick to me) and 2 sting ray. It was really neat to see in such shallow water how many animals there were. We stayed in the water about a half hour and then rode our bikes back down the beach.
When I got back, I took Lizzie to do an all legs work-out and headed down to the gym. After that was dessert night with the professor and some students. Mmmm she made my favorite-----baked oatmeal, brownie/cookies-in-cream bar/cookie dough treat, lamingtons, blueberries and grapes---mmmm I ate everything!!!
Tonight Colin and Carlo  would be performing at open mic night at the pub so we most of us went down to support them. They each played 2-3 songs and were awesome! Its cool knowing someone in the band and they rocked out--Carlo sang and Colin played the drums. It was a great performance----
Around midnight I went back to my cabin---got a busy day tomorrow!
