Happy Canada Day

Thought you wouldn't know it around here. Myla and I have been settling in more here in Cebu, rolling with some punches and dealing with some bullshit beauracracy, but what can you do?

Classes are good, botany is proving challenging, as it covers both molecular biology and botany. I'm in the midst of preparing a study to compute coral coverage in front of the marine science station for my oceanography class.
Myla and I will be creating a guide to local corals in the area as well, for our marine biology course, but the work on it won't being for a few weeks. Both projects will be stepping stones towards larger not school projects done in conjunction with local ngo's.
My first dive at the science station should be this Saturday with another during a class on Monday, the goal will be get aquainted with the reef in front of the station, and develop grids from which randonly selected areas will be selected.

So not much else, we finished furnishing out place here, and Myla is applying for a residency status for me, which will hopefully lower my tuition. We have made some headway in the pie department, I made a no bake key lime pie and Myla has made a fresh mango pie which was yummy.

til next time, hope all is well
