brief update - more to come later

I'm sitting in a tiny little internet cafe in Savai'i, in the village of Manase having just imbibed two and a half rather strong cocktails and biking back to our hostel in the pouring rain. We went to visit some turtles and go swimming with them, great fun.

One of them kept biting Elizabeth's toes - it even reached it's head out of the water and latched it's beaky mouth over her toes. They must be quite tasty wee piggies for that kind of effort. A small child came to the waters edge with three papaya and proceeded to hack the papaya into massive (and not so massive) hunks which he then threw into the water for the turtles who went slightly mental and fought like wild things over the juicy orange flesh. i was just worried the child was going to lose a finger or ten in the process of hacking up the food - he was, after all, only three and in the possession of a large kitchen knife.

Anyway, I'm starting to go brown (finally!) and I'm running out of time - both in this internetcafe and in Samoa... we leave not this Friday ngiht but the next, feels so soon.

When I get back to Apia where the internet is cheaper I'll tell more, but in the meantime, I got back my paper results...

B+ Thea212 (better than hoped for)
A (85%) for DESI204 design and the environment
and...
A+ (90%) for DESI202 design and communication.

SO RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!
