A beautiful day in Dana Point...

So today was my first Tide Pool docent shift in Dana Point. I have got to say, that it was probably one of the most soul lifting things I have done in a while. I talked with a few people, but didn't have my official vest until after my shift was almost done, so I didn't approach many. There was a class there from Orange Coast College, and I looked like I could have been one of them. But, now I have a vest - check it out:

It has the Dana Point city logo, and you can't really see it, but underneath it says "Tide Pool Docent". I am completely and utterly stoked. My next shift is on 5/31 from 9a-1p so if you are in the area, please feel free to stop by and say hello! We spend half of our shift actually down in the intertidal area and then the other half by a table we set up. There are usually 4 of us, so we split up in groups of 2.

So, it was a beautiful and peaceful day. A great way to lead up to the beginning of my week - which includes a trip to the DMV to renew my license. I have to take a written and vision test. So not looking forward to both! I studied some today, so I think the written part will be a breeze. But the vision - I don't know. I mean, my eyes are fine - I can see well enough to drive, but my right eye is not fully developed so I have a blind spot. That whole "cover your eye and read the chart" thing is just a huge pain when I'm talking to someone other than my optometrist (who I've had for the last 4 years). They don't get that I can see great with both eyes - they just don't get it.

Well, it's time for sleep. Being out in the sun today kind of made me tired. I'll talk to you all soon!
