Today was such a long day! June was in the hospital still, and Sophie and I were taking care of her the whole day, with pretty much no breaks except during a torrential downpour after lunch. She can't eat any of the skins of fruits so we were peeling everything and getting eaten by flies for most of the day... we also were making these little rice balls so that she could get nutrients, and covering them in banana to fool her into eating them. That worked for a while but then she started throwing them at us, so at least she hasn't lost her sassy side even if she is very sick :)

We had another harvest today but we have a couple new pretty boy English guys to help, so it wasn't too bad! Julia and I are both rereading Twilight in our spare time, and I think our new roommate Alicia thinks that we are crazy... we were also wearing almost the exact same outfit this morning, so maybe we should try to be a little less alike, haha! The only real difference today was that she had a massive hole in her shirt from one of the gibbons reaching out and ripping her shirt... we got a new little monkey yesterday also and he is adorable! Matt, the main guy in charge, is taking care of the two baby monkeys since their mothers got killed by hunters, so he doesn't get much sleep but they always jump on me and the other blonde haired girls, not sure why! Sorry this post is so random, there's not much new stuff to talk about since we have a bit of a routine going every day, but things will start to be a little more adventurous when we leave for Koh Tao on Saturday - can't wait for some diving! And a real shower :)
