Day 3 had ended just as soon as it had begun, I had finally started to feel comfortable in my new class. “ring ring” my alarm clock goes off, it is 10:30, I had created a routine, and provided some order in this new chaotic world. After getting dressed I go downstairs have an English muffin; yum, that was good. Class had started, today seemed insignificant, but i was still eager to learn. We began class today with a discussion, and in doing so we disassemble the predisposed seating arrangement.
Everything finally started to fall into place, we had started to talk about polarity. This talk brought a strong sense of nostalgia; as I had talked about this subject sophomore year many times. I was on cloud 9, the top of my game. Just when everything seemed to fit in, my teacher had asked me a question; the spotlight, now on me, was brighter then ever. I answered the question wrong. Embarrassed, I ducked my head, in order to supress the ongoing stares and smirks. After undergoing the 5 stages of grief I had finally reached acceptance. I was reborn through my own faults, and in this rebirth I vowed to be the best I could be; I vowed to become a self-proclaimed marine biologist.
Back to the topic at hand I had finally drilled it into my head that hot air and water rise, I had also learned that water evaporates more by the equator, which is why there is a higher concentration of salt in the waters closest to the equator. Most importantly we talked about the waves and currents. Waves actually travel perpendicular to the sea and the water does not travel with it. For example if a bottle was in the ocean it would move up and down, not with the wave. This is important because it helps us understand the environments that aquatic organisms live in.
