I'm spending my semester "abroad" at Mystic Seaport in Mystic, CT attending the Williams-Mystic program through Williams College. It's an interdisciplinary maritime semester, during which I will study marine ecology, marine policy, literature of the sea and history of the sea.

Clackity-Clack
Onomatopoeias aside, I now possess my very own sets of bones! These are the greatest instruments ever. They are wicked portable and are louder than you'd think for being so small. Tim scrimshawed my initials in letters as well as in signal flags on the bones. They are actual bone versus being made from wood (although not whale bone, as it is illegal to use whale products in the States). I've been borrowing a pair of Don's for the semester, but now that I've got my own, I have a new way of annoying my younger sister! Just kidding, Cameron. All joking aside, these are the coolest instruments ever and people that are wicked good at them and have been playing for years can make them do SO many cool things, like play different pitches and rhythms. I'm still learning, but I can play with a set in each hand now! But I should probably stop geeking out over bones and get back to writing the many papers that are due in the next two weeks...
