Now I&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p>I went scuba diving today at Sandy Cove in Christmas Cove, Bristol, Maine. There were lots of lobsters wandering around the ocean floor &#8211; we went down to about 30 ft. I caught a baby lobster, as you&#8217;ll see in my Flickr photos. No worries, I let him go &#8211; I don&#8217;t want a fine! There were also lots of huge crabs. I didn&#8217;t see any fish or sharks. A juvenile (7-foot) great white was caught in Maine a couple weeks ago. I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, still a few weeks left in the Summer. I&#8217;ve got a giant tent, tennis racket and balls, rollerblades, and lots more if anyone wants to hang out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought the date was cute today &#8211; 8, 9, 10 ^-^ I finished my Summer courses tonight &#8211; I&#8217;m pretty sure I aced them both!
