you may have bent me, but you cannot break me.

There are less than two weeks remaining in my internship. This has been quite a summer. I feel incredibly lucky to have taken part in some of the things that I've been able to. I feel that my work has actually made a difference in the world, in the lives of the turtles, and in my life. This wasn't the easiest summer, I struggled with relationships, insane bouts of boredom in my days off, and hard work. But I can easily say that this was the most satisfying summer I've ever had. I earned money, did exceptional work, met new people, and pushed my own boundaries. And most importantly, I didn't give up, even when things got hard. I'm proud of myself for the work that I've done and the knowledge that I've gained. I'm grateful for this experience and I feel honored to have taken part in such an amazing organization full of wonderful people.

On another note, we released Jenny, the loggerhead this afternoon. It was a little sad but mostly I just felt happy for her that she was going back to her home. We watched her quickly make her way past the breaking waves and I was kind of overcome with emotions. This was an excellent way to see the summer winding down.

I probably won't get around to posting again until after I'm back home so I'll catch you guys later.
