2013 Week 2

Today started off around 6:45. I woke up and listened to music for a little bit and got my bag packed and ready for the day. We met up at the gate entrance at 7:45 and walked down to the Internet lounge for breakfast. It was all the same food as yesterday but also large donuts. It was very...

Today we woke up and pretty immediately made our way down to the Internet cafe for a breakfast of massive donuts and an introduction to turtle snagging from Dr. Gore. We learned about their migration patterns as well as some of the history of "turtleology" (I'm told that's the technical term). After that, the group split up into our...

Today, we woke up, excited to go snorkeling and diving in the BVI. Everybody in my cabin woke up late, at a reasonable 7:30 AM, with Mr. Kirby telling us to get up. We are scurried to get our stuff together for another eventful day of adventure in the ocean. We met at the cattle guard, and walked...

The day began similarly to yesterday in that we didn't have to wake up to the sound of a rooster. We then went back to the main building to have doughnuts that could have passed for tires.

1.) Why this class? I have always been fascinated with the ocean. Spending time at near the ocean and in the ocean is my favorite thing without a doubt. I want to be a marine biologist more than anything and because I know it is a very hard field to be successful in and get in, I wish to...

The first night was a late night because I couldn't fall asleep because I couldn't stop thinking about the next day. I was looking forward to it so much that I just laid in bed for hours just starting at the ceiling fan going around and around. Later on however I was just so exhausted that I passed out...
