2013 Week 2

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...

So Saturday began like everyday, Chatty, the rooster that currently holds the title "Bane of My Existence," crowed at around 6:45, waking me up, and preventing me from getting those last 15 minutes of sleep, the only minutes that really count. To no avail, I lied down until the alarm rang at 7, trying my hardest to get those...

I slept very well two nights ago because of the turtle catching the day before. I woke up at around 7:15 and met everyone by the cattle guard at 7:45. At around 8 our taxi came and we all hopped on to go directly to the marina to eat breakfast. For breakfast I had some fruit loops, a nature...

I chose to take marine biology because I have an interest in biology but mostly because I have never SCUBA dived and am eager to try. I do not have any diving experience other than the four hour class that I took yesterday as the first forth of my certification. That was really fun and I am excited for the...

This morning I discovered that the rooster, who yesterday was so intent on disturbing our sleep, cannot be trusted as a reliable alarm clock. It was nowhere to be found at 5:30 in the morning, but fortunately my cabin mate Dylan woke me up at around 6:45. After a breakfast of banana-nut bread and cereal, we headed down to...

I was woke up by Kyle today, 'twas interesting. When I woke up i got everything I needed for the day which was sunblock, mask snorkels and fins. Anyways my cabin and I were the last ones to get to the cattle guard, where everyone would meet. Then we went to breakfast and that was delicious, had some banana...

I woke up at 4:00 A.M. yesterday exited for my trip. Those feelings of excitement were eventually put to rest after three plane rides and a boat ride with my bros to reach my final destination of Virgin Gorda late at night, and the only feelings I had left were exhaustion and a sharp pain in my butt....

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...

1. I thought that it would be a fun, unique experience, and I enjoy learning about biology. 2. I am an Open Water Certified Diver with a Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty, but I have not been on any ocean dives yet. 3. I am really looking forward to the night dive and seeing diverse species of aquatic life.
