I looked out the planes Window at the Bright sunlit canopy in front of me. The contrast from the dark plane and the light sky made me squint.
"Beautiful issnt it Cecelia"
My coworker jenson said. I looked a him and smiled then continued to look out the window. Jenson was an intern, a nice boy but painfully shy. But then again so was i, for the confidence i put out there, i was surprisingly shy. I looked out the windows of the pane and servayed the area we where passing over. We are part of a government funded research party to go into the depths of the Sinharaja jungle to search out new organisms for study and potentially medical applications. We had minimal funding but like highschool funding football instead of  theatre, we weren't the military never the less I was so exited I loved science and the biology of ecosystems it came so natural to me, it was my dream job. travel and science. The plane jolted and I was knocked out of my thoughts. I got up out of my seat, walked across to the bathroom and closed the door behind me I looked into the mirror, a 5'5 light haired girl with wide blue eyed and strong features stood looking back at me, I cared how I look. I looked good, Being the moderately attractive female I was made my life just a little bit easier. I looked away from the mirror and turned on the small cheep looking Faucet in front of me  splashing a small amount of the cool water onto my face, blotting it after with a white corse paper towel, i was tired and a bit nervous. Iv heard about how easy it was to get lost or go mad out here. And all the wild animals didn't give me much comfort. But I was also exited and the chance of going out there and seeing all of it. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the small bathroom into the main cabin of the plane returned to my seat by jenson and kristen. I sat and looked out the small window, gazing out at the canopy below. for now I'm just going to put my headphones in and go to sleep, I had hours of travel ahead of me.
