A few things from the last month :
- Louisiana either has the craziest or awesomest weather ever. It's either pouring like there is no tomorrow, or 95 degrees and 80 percent humidity.
- The second I decide I don't want to date any males, more of them than I thought possible crawl out of the woodwork telling me that they would like to date me. It's weird and annoying.
- Swamps and marshes have ugly names, but are absolutely beautiful.
- I miss my family more directly after they leave, than if I don't see them for 2 months.
- Alligators aren't as scary as I once thought.
- Shrimp taste okay.
- I have a new camera and it is pink! Sadly, my orange one broke.
- I don't realize that some adventures are actually adventures until they are over.
- Deet is a scary substance. There is a reason bugs don't bite when we wear it.
- I don't like managers.
- I can't wait until I get to see my family and friends again!!
- I am looking forward to August in Kansas for the first time in my life. It can't possibly be hotter than Louisiana. :)
- Cajun cooking rocks!! It's actually less spicy in most places here than it is in Kansas.
- Someone said I looked like Elisabeth Shue. I don't see the resemblance, but she says I am the spitting image.
- I complain a lot, but I've really enjoyed myself this summer.
Love you.

A Wednesday Morn'
Helloooo!!
First off, I really enjoyed getting your email today. It was the perfect size, length, and gave me all the information I want, but forget to ask you when we talk. We have had a crazy two days of crisises, confrontations, and issues, here on the rig, so I have thought of some things I wanted to tell you.
- Until stuff goes wrong, men (and women too, I guess, though I don't work with any) are genial, happy, and willing to work together.
- The second something goes wrong, common decency, respect, and patience are replaced by intolerance, anger, and yelling.
- I don't care if you are angry. Saying nasty racist things, swearing, and yelling; none of thes are a good way to deal with the fact that your life is stressful. If you can't take a stressful life, walk away.
- Angry men are alternatively ridiculously funny to watch, and scary to be around.
- I hope that when I am under stress, I will react the way a Christian should react.
On other notes :
- I am a pro at watching for rattlesnakes whilst running.
- They found a rattlesnake on the pad yesterday!!
- We might be done with this well in 2 or 3 days!
- My excitement is not because I can't stand not being here, or I am super tired of the job, but rather, because I have a huge project waiting for me that I haven't been able to get very much done on yet!
- My internship is a little over half over. It has been an incredible experience so far.
- I want to make Monster Cookies!!!
- Men on a rig have WAY more drama than women in a sorority or women's scholarship house ever had.
- I slept yesterday for 5 hours in a trailer that had lost AC in 110 degree heat. It was...an experience. :D
- We have beautiful sunsets and sunrises here.
I love you.

RAIN!
I saw rain for the first time in 3 weeks, today!!!!
- Rain is marvelous. People who don’t like it are weirdos.
- Corrugated metal is a lot more slippery when wet. I now understand the reason Schlumberger requires us to walk up and down the stairs in a specific way.
- Watching the sun come up over a real horizion (one without any sort of building in its way), is absolutely beautiful.
I love you.
