Quick Update

Howdy all! Just a quick update as there hasn't been a whole lot going on round here. I heard back from UT Houston, sadly I was not the perfect fit they were looking for (although I did meet the qualifications). I've yet to hear about anything else that I've put my name in the hat for. Hopefully I'll hear something soon.


Sea camp has been going well. Last week I was with the Texas City day camp all week. This week I'm helping with a few camps, but mostly prepping for next week. I will be co-coordinating the TAG Marine Biology camp next week. It'll be a long week, but I'll get great pay for it.


This upcoming weekend will be a couple of planned activities. First we will be seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt 2 on Friday. Then Saturday will be pot-palooza, in which my girl friends and I will be decorating terra cotta pots for the reception. Well, I'm gonna get my afternoon under way.

NBL and Reject Art Show

One neat thing that I got to do through Sea Camp was going to the Neutral Buoyancy Lab associated with NASA. This is where the astronauts train for their space walks. It is the closest they get to a zero gravity here on earth.




The NBL is home to the world's largest indoor pool. Each astronaut has a team of 4 divers assigned to them that help supervise during their 6 hour session.



Here I am down in the lobby! Exciting stuff, I know ;) Last Friday Beau and I went to support Em at her art show in Houston: Salon des Refuses: Artwork Rejected from the BIG Show. She ended up winning the people's choice award that night. Below is us in front of her piece.




Life is going well, despite the heat that is summer in Texas. Fortunately Galveston was one of the only places that held a fireworks show this year due to the drought and burn bans in effect.


GISD went really well this year and ended last week. I'm enjoying a week off before going back to work for Sea Camp. Next week is the Texas City day camp. My interview went as well as I could hope. When I know more, I'll let y'all know.
