8, 9, 10

I thought the date was cute today – 8, 9, 10 ^-^

I finished my Summer courses tonight – I’m pretty sure I aced them both! Now I’ve got the rest of the Summer off. Definitely looking for friends to go camping with and playing tennis, rollerblading, etc. before I move back into my apt in Orono. Hit me up if you wanna do something!

I went scuba diving today at Sandy Cove in Christmas Cove, Bristol, Maine. There were lots of lobsters wandering around the ocean floor – we went down to about 30 ft. I caught a baby lobster, as you’ll see in my Flickr photos. No worries, I let him go – I don’t want a fine! There were also lots of huge crabs. I didn’t see any fish or sharks. A juvenile (7-foot) great white was caught in Maine a couple weeks ago. I’d rather not run into a great white, but it would be cool to see a catshark or dogfish. Both are really cute and catsharks often have really beautiful skin patterns, though they might give you a little bite if you get too close, lol.

On Sunday my little sister Ashley and my uncle and I went to Mt. Apatite in Auburn, Maine to mine for rocks and minerals. We found lots of mica, black tourmaline, a little garnet, and I chiseled off some huge chunks of quartz, clear as glass. They look like pieces of ice. In my Flickr account, you can see pictures of the rocks and a pic of me and Ash in mining gear, hehe.

Anyway, still a few weeks left in the Summer. I’ve got a giant tent, tennis racket and balls, rollerblades, and lots more if anyone wants to hang out!
