13:45 Today I woke late for breakfast (07:45)
and everyone was done. ML became ill so
we had the doctor visit the park. I went
out with a group of people researching molluscs and ran between 6 different
groups taking GPS coordinates of their samples.
Soon I was hit by a surprise silent wave
which splashed my camera so I promptly gave it to DL to put in some rice, at
which point I broke my sandals. I was
running about in the intertidal for 1-2 hours barefoot which (as any student
who went to the area would know) is kind of crazy. I then also managed to break a second pair of
footwear so ended up like feeling if I touch anything I might break it today,
considering I've only ever broken or lost about 10 items in my lifetime.

On the plus side I found my camera case
and accessories, under the top bunk mattress, which I thought I had lost.
I was impressed by the mollusc peoples
findings, including some gorgeous tiny Nudibranch sea slugs which I have hoped
to get to see at some point in my life - some looking like fire in
shape/colour. I then had another
statistics session with DL and saw a Scorpion at the lab again.
