2013 Week 2

Today I woke up the most tired of all days so far. My cabin walked to the meeting place at the cattle guard to be eventually told to go back and lock our cabana, because Mr. Kirby did a surprise check on our cabana and saw we left our doors unlocked. After everyone did that we went...

I set my alarm today for 7:15, but was awoken many times before by various loud roosters outside our cabin. We got our stuff together and met up at the cattle guard, then went to the Internet café where we ate breakfast. This consisted of donuts and cereal. After breakfast, Dr. Gore, the head of sea turtle research for...

The day began a little rough. Exhausted from the long day yesterday, it took almost as much effort to wake up today as it is the day of a big test after an allnighter. After pulling myself out of bed, I went to wash my face and put in my contacts. Of course, one of them fell out of...

1. I thought that this class sounded very interesting and fun. The hands on experience offered both in the labs and BVI grabbed my attention. 2. I have almost completed my diving certification course. I did the majority of my open water dives this past weekend but could not finish on Sunday due to the thunderstorm. 3. I am...

1. I find marine biology to be very interesting. Marine life fascinates me as it is a link to the past, because so many organisms in the oceans have been around since the beginning of time. 2. I haven't had any diving experience, but I am in the process of being certified. 3. I am looking forward most to diving and...

My entire case woke up at 7 dead to the but excited to go turtle tagging. We listened to an interesting history of sea turtles and also how to catch and release the turtles by Dr. Gore. The sea dragons got to go first for sea turtle tagging. Right as we pulled out of the bay we saw three...

It was two days ago on day 4, so I don't remember the morning except we had breakfast and than left immediately for the marina. We got to the marina with an attitude some have recorded to be intimidating. It was coral replanting day. DuHduhDUMMMMMM. So we hopped in trusty sea monkey and set sail, or motor. We got...

The day began in a peaceful fashion, with the blaring combination of alarms and guys yelling to wake up. As I arose, jolted from my slumber, I had little time to wash my face, throw on my clothes, eat some Reese's Peanut Butter CupsTM,, and walk to the front of Guava Berry. Once everyone was accounted for, we were...

After a night of successful blogging we settled down for bed and fell asleep. The next day came quickly especially since I didn't wake up until 5 min before we had to leave. Although I cut it close, I grabbed all my gear and made it on time to head up to the baths. The baths are these big...
