2013 Week 2

I decided that I wanted to take this course because I am interested in marine biology. I like learning about the ocean and the marine life in it. I have been diving for 5 years now and the places I have dived are Mexico(Cozumel and Cancun), Puerto Rico, and Belize. I look forward to getting in the water and...

The reason I chose this class was because I liked the idea of going to the BVI. Learning about marine life, diving, and actually helping with research while going there seemed like the best possible way to spend time while in the BVI. As to my diving experience, I have none besides the diving required to earn...

Walking into the airport on Tuesday morning, I was filled with excitement. After over a year of anxiously awaiting the trip, the time had finally come to enjoy my passion. It seemed like I was the most excited person there after annoying everyone by saying how excited I was over and over again. I have no problem with flying...

1) I decided to take this class because some of my friends were taking it, scuba diving in clear ocean waters sounded like a cool experience, and I could knock out one my science credits for senior year. By Studying the ocean we learn about one of if not the most important place in the world that can also help...

I Become a Chimney Sweep By Alex Magee Yesterday... We arrived at Virgin Gorda at night and went to bed, only after eating microwaved macaroni and cheese and granola bars.

Fun in the Sun Day 2... We had another tasty breakfast consisting of three types of bread, cereal, yogurt and a granola bar that I found in my backpack. I am enjoying my third day without braces by eating granola bars and starburst. After breakfast we walked to an amazing rock formation called the baths. The baths is basically a huge area...

1) Why this class: I have always really liked marine biology. Every year I go up to Connecticut for vacation and have really just become fascinated with everything in the ocean. We always go to the aquarium and I've always enjoyed learning about all the unique adaptations and behavior marine animals and plants have. I was hoping to get a...

I awoke this morning to the harsh sting of my roommate's hand slapping my leg. I quickly shit up from my sleep, because I knew I must have slept through the night like a rock. Soon after my roommates, Garrett Buckley and Chris Ayres and I went to the cattle guard meeting spot at the foot of the hill....

I picked marine biology this summer for a getaway vacation away from the family. Although I have no previous diving experience, I believe it would be fun. The thing I am looking forward to the most is feeling weightless in the water.
