I smell of dirt, sun, sunscreen, bug spray and history. Oh, and river water, because we went wading at the Dove pier after we wrapped up.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record: I love my school.
Although I did get all woozy and faint for about fifteen minutes. It can't possibly have been the heat or the sun, since the weather was beautifully cool and breezy today, with numerous cloudy moments. I guess it was still Southern Maryland humid, though. I'm thinking it was either dehydration or insufficient food -- my lunch was pretty small, fairly sodium-laden, and I ate it early. I really, truly felt like I was going to pass out or throw up or both -- and because I did neither, felt like a hypocondriac for bowing So note to self: hydrate BEFORE field work and pack a better lunch. Maybe trail mix?
