I'm Back!!!

[Ely]

After not having the time to chill out on the OB I'm finally back! First of all I have to apologize for my extended absence; I had to study for finals. Not that it helped a lot... And I was just in Mexico for three weeks trying to advance my spanish vocabulary and communication skills. I only saw two orchids the whole time; one catt and a dendrobium. The family I was staying with had the dendrobium, but it looked like it was about to die. Probably because it was potted in dirt! I changed that after the first day. When I left it looked like it would make it. I just hope it does!
Good news! I get to take a class at the prestigious Whitman College next year while going to high school! I am super excited! I'm between Geology, Spanish, and Botany. My mom will speak with the head of the geology department and see if I can have permission to be in his class (it's already full!).
It's good to be back, hopefully I'll have some time on here before I have to start working harvest in a week. Twelve hours per day, but it funds my orchid addiction so I'm happy!

Peace
Ely
