As my data is pretty much completely gathered, I have been working on analyzing it all and starting my research paper. My days consist of a lot of laying around in the hammock reading papers that relate to my research. I have learned so much about my topic and I hope that my work can be continued in the future. The hammock is my new favorite thing- just swaying back and forth while I listen to the birds in the distance and every once in a while a little coconut will fall from above. Every morning is so cozy with my cup of coffee or juice and I feel very productive working in such a beautiful place.

Today, we helped place some light sensors out into the water that detects how much light the corals are absorbing! We had to carry some equipment out so we decided to take the paddle boards! It was very windy and my arms were getting sore from paddling so hard to fight the waves. But honestly, I could use the workout since I haven't been able to workout much since being here. I've been wayyy to busy, but hiking and paddle boarding have done the trick!
Can't get over this view
After, I grabbed my book and laid out on the dock for a little bit, but suddenly it started to downpour rain while the sun was still shining! It was the prettiest thing ever. I sat and watched the entire rainstorm. Fish were jumping out all over the place! After dinner we played a super fun domino game and then we headed to bed super early. I am super excited because tomorrow we are going on another night snorkel! I hope I get to see more Spotted Eagle Rays again or maybe something else I haven't seen before! 
Snack time!!
Sounds like so much fun!!
