Rain! Always raining!

So I took some advice from a good friend of mine who is way better at this art stuff then I am, and I upped the resolution of my scans.  I hope this looks better now.  Eventually I might go back and fix the previous pages, but that will take work that I am too lazy to do right now.  Yes too lazy.  Expect the truth and nothing but the truth from me.  =) 
As for my page this week, funny thing…apparently May 'til Novemberish is the rainy season in Belize and July 'til October is Hurricane season.  Now notice I went to Belize at the end of May.  So yeah…it rained…a lot.  This also meant that there was a lot of standing water, especially around camp since there was a marshy area all around the site.  So this meant that there were A LOT of mosquitoes.  My first week in Belize, all I can really remember is rain, humidity, and mosquitoes.  Well there is more than that.  But those are the strongest memories that stand out.  It was still a lot of fun though, even though I remember being very freaked out that I was going to come down with malaria at any second.  Also the itching…oh the itching…for someone who is as germaphobic and OCD as I am (and I was doing really bad during this time becasue I was very stressed) it was really hard not to just run through camp screaming.  Thankfully I still had my music (for a bit longer) and my books.  Also I had these drawings, which felt an awful lot like talking to myself, but that was fine cause I do that normally.  =P
