The next day I woke up feeling not only sick to my stomach but light-headed and dizzy.  I tried to partake in the group work, which was another day of picking and sorting things in sediment, but I just couldn't focus so I went back to bed.  I literally slept until lunch time and woke up feeling a little better.  After lunch time was greeted by cramming for our invert test at 3pm.  The test was twofold: one question portion and one identification of live specimens portion.  I definitely dominated naming the live things.  The other part we wont talk about haha.  After the test, Ranjan took 4 of us to the ATM. I had only just realized that in my mad dash to make it to Tahiti, I had forgotten to exchange money and had no Polynesian Francs! The other half of the excursion was marked by a roombah run for many of our classmates. I opted out of buying one for myslef, knowing that Tim and Nick would share with me :) At the supermarche here, there was so many different kinds of French, Asian, etc. candy.  It was so weird.  I think foreign foods are one of the most interesting and amusing things....like there were these ball-shaped candies with frogs all over the bag. Ranjan got some and we later discovered that they were just sour apple gummies...why there were frogs on the bag we will never know.  Once we returned, we had dinner and got to work on our project proposals.  The draft is due on Wednesday and the majority of people were starting already.  The third member of our group was MIA, so Casey and I basically just flirted with a lot of options.  Our project could literally go in fifty different directions with fifty different methods.  I will talk about it when it is finalized :) After a couple hours of talking with Peggy and her daughter about how to structure our methods, we abandoned our post in the lab and went back into the house. To our chagrin, there were a group of people just starting Catch Phrase...with roombah.  So we joined in :)  For some reason Tim was determined to drink past his limit...chugging cups of mixed drinks. But let me tell you, there is no stopping him.  He did wrestling in high school and is not opposed to whipping out some paralyzing moves when he is sober...without a second doubt when he is drunk.  While several uber drunkies went to go hang out on the dock, Nick and I stayed inside and had one of those deep meaningful intoxicated conversations.  It was mainly started off with me saying how I don't think I'm cut out for this research business as a profession.  I'm really enjoying it now and in this setting, but I don't think I want to do it after this experience.  I'm not that big of a fan.  He loves it though.  The conversation trailed into what our futures hold...maybe med school, maybe grad school, and maybe something totally different for me. Who knows what the future holds.

Just as we were about to go to sleep we realized that there were four people missing...presumably out on the dock. So we went our to retrieve them.  To no surprise, they were all completely passed out.  I  caried Jackie in, Nick got Tim, and the others werent really our responsibility lol.  We put them in bed and I followed :) Another great day with the MBQrew in paradise.
