David Smith '12

Today started out by driving down to the marina to do community service with VISAR, the Virgin Island search and rescue. We started out by dividing into two groups. I was told that I should go paint, because I was one of the tallest ones there. I started by painting the wall, then switched to the base board, and...

Today was a really cool day, because we finally got to do what we had been focusing on while we were here in the BVI. We started off by doing a fun dive at the westernmost point of Virgin Gorda. There were a ton of jellyfish swimming around the water, and everyone had fun touching the top, and a...

Today started, instead of starting of in a classroom, we went straight to the marina and met up with Casey, Andrew, Sam, and Jeff. We got lunch from them, and then went to the dive site. We dove on the R.M.S Rhone, which was a carfo ship that also carried passengers. Casey told us that it was designed by...

Today got an early start for me and my cabin, when Doc and Mr. Kirby got us up at seven, in order to wake everyone else up at eight. We kinda half slept until seven fourty five, then got dressed pretty quickly, and got everybody else up. We then took the bus to the hotel that we have our...

Today I slept much bettere than yesterday. I slept so well, in fact, that me and my room had to be woken up by Doc, who then told us we had fifteen minutes to get down to the group. We got dressed quicklyand ran down to meet the bus/cab. We started the day with a "classroom" lecture about Project...

Yesterday was a long, long day that involed a sprint to the gate, a flight next to a kid who didn't understand the idea of personal space, and an epic boat ride to the island with the lightning blinding us. Today was just as long, but just as fun. My day started at four fourty five with a rooster crowing...

Today was our final day stuck in a classroom! Sunday, we're leaving for the British Virgin Islands. I'm so excited, it was kinda hard to pay attention, but I did my best. The first article was very interesting. It had to do with a species of fish called the leaping bleany. They are a species of fish that live...

Today, we started out, not by discussion, but by going straight into the lab to do what i believe is our last dissection. We got our dogfish shark that we had begun dissecting yesterday, and began removing the skin and skull, bit by bit, from the top of it's head, in order to see the brain. After that, we...

Today as usual, was started by discussing the articles. The first article was about mimic octopi, which have evolved to be able to mimic other animals, such as a flounder, a lionfish, and a sea snake. It was interesting to see how they could do this, as the group had a youtube video to show as well. It made...
