2012 Week 1

In the first few days of class, we have been learning the basics of marine biology; about the ocean, currents, waves, tides, zones and the organisms that live there. We are getting accustomed to using our iPads in the classroom, and discovering their large amounts of functions for learning as well as fun.

These people know a lot, but others need lots of assistance understanding this complex material, like this kid named Matt Mills (see figure below). I, being as knowledgable as I already am, must assist this helpless child. I teach...

A long Sunday both ended and began with awesome activities. Community service at 8 am started quickly as we laid a primer of white on the walls surrounding the local cricket pitch and planted some soon to be large palm trees and desert roses. During service we made some more interesting friends, Kyle and Sasha were locals who couldn't...
