Invitational was a huge success. I averaged 4 hours of sleep a night all week, but I survived. Yesterday I went fishing for halibut for 12 hours. I only caught silvers and little "chickens." The captain let me drive for a while both in and out. Then I finally made it to the Pit with Nicole and some Austrailians. Today I was supposed to go on another whale watch, but I just couldn't do it. So I slept a little and will now try to start packing. I leave Alaska Thursday night and am back in MI Friday at 7am.

It has definately been a fantastic summer. I am a little bummed to be leaving, but anxious to get back to MSU and finish up my degree.
