Yesterday was a long day of travel. We had to be at the airport by 5:45 in the morning, where we sluggishly met up with Mr. Waits outside security. After parents snapped countless photos of us, barely functioning, we went through security which was actually pretty painless; except for the fact that I put my carry-on in the...

Day3 Our day began with an uproarious buzzing of an alarm clock. We exited the loft at around 7:20 to be at the Commissary at 8 for a breakfast of Loops of the fruity persuasion. Then Casey debriefed us for the day and introduced us to Mem and the innkeepers. Glenn then took us to the Baths and we...

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. During breakfast, Dr. Gore came to give a presentation over turtles and the importance of the tagging. We then split into boat...

I got up and made some of the instant coffee that was being sold in the small convenient store (this store runs on the honor code and at the end of the trip you have to pay for everything that...

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 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...

We began the day with a breakfast at the marina. After eating, we headed out about 20 minutes away. Once we got there, we discussed how we would be collecting and transplanting coral. We first went on a snorkel to scout out any potential areas where coral might be in need of rescuing. After returning to the boat, we...
