2013 Week 2

We arrived safely yesterday and got our casa and roommate assignments about 10 o'clock last night. After finishing getting completely situated and affiliated with my new roommates I went to bed at around midnight. We were told that our taxi leaves tomorrow at 7:30 so we had to be up by 7, if not sooner. I actually woke...

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...

Day 1 Woke up in a new Bugatti. Just kidding, woke up in an open cabin and very sweaty but that wasn't enough motivation to get up but eventually I did. I then proceeded to put on a swimsuit, a shirt, flip flops, and a bag with my scuba things. We jumped...

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.

1. I enrolled in this class because marine life interests me, and I want to become more knowledgeable about what goes on in the ocean. 2. I have no diving experience, but I am signed up to become certified. 3. The thing that I am looking forward to the most is being able to do the night dive and the barbecue...

1. Why this class? I chose this class because I have always been very interested in Biology. Marine biology seemed like a very interesting way to learn more not only about biology but a more specific section of it. I have always loved the ocean and the creatures that live within it which is also another major reason. 2. Diving...
