Slow Day on the Island

Today we woke up with enough time to have some breakfast that Q kindly offered to make. He made us some scrambled eggs with turkey bacon & toast on the side. We all ate & then got ready for class. Class was held in Cabin 5 next door where the other half of the group was staying. I think today was a good class cause we had small group discussions & out group got pretty into it.. Towards the end of class, Bailey noticed that the floor was wet so we looked around & notices that he toilet was leaking & flooded the entire bathroom & was making its way to the living room. Class was pretty much over so we all got up & moved things around & kind of freaked out haha. Suzanne called Candice & she told us that the plumber wasn't in town at the time. We all just threw any towel we could find to stop the water & soak it up in its tracks. Candice shut the water off & we started to ring the water out of the towels to try & soak everything up. While we were doing that, someone saw a huge cockroach & Debbie freaked out haha. Bailey tried to pick it up to take it out but it ended up making its way into the shower room where I was & so I freaked out & tried hopping my way out without stepping on it or falling haha. We cleaned up as best as we could then I went back over to my cabin. Morgan, McKenzie & Lauren were all eating sandwiches & chips so I joined them. We decided to take advantage of the rain stopping & walk around Charlotteville so we did that. Us 4 walked around & went to a store, passed by the field, the library, police station, a little school & basically toured our surroundings. It was nice to get out & see what's around even though there wasn't much. We did notice that there was a small handful of other tourists around which was cool to see. When we got back we all kind of did our own thing & I decided to take a nap. It was nice to not hear the rain for a while & walk around without having to get soaked but it made its way back & now it's raining again. Q came in to kind of wake me up but I was kind of awake already so I got up & went outside with Morgan & McKenzie who were gonna go swimming & ate some cereal. Morgan had wandered off for a bit & came back to tell us she found a lemon tree so Lauren & I joined her to pick some. We decided to make some drinks & sit on the beach while it wasn't raining so we mixed some white oak, fruit lunch, sprite & lemon juice from those lemons & got to watch the clouds change colors from the sun that was peeking through the clouds. It was such a nice & relaxing moment to sit back & relax out there. Once it started to get darker, we went back in to get ready for dinner. Dinner was held at the cabin next door so we went over & had some delicious food once again. Afterwards, we had a small meeting then when the adults left, we played some games & drank a bit. It was sooo much fun playing charades & another game that Harm showed us haha. We took a break from the games & went from a walk on the beach after having a few drinks which was also really fun haha. We came back & walked over to Sharon & Pheb's.. They were closed but Sharon heard us coming & opened it just for us to get some drinks which was super sweet of her! We walked back with our drinks in hand & some went to the beach but Debbie, Katy & I stayed back & hung out in my cabin. It was such a a nice relaxing day today! Our group is definitely a good one & I love that everyone is down for anything!
