Okay, so once again, today was working on group projects.
Once again, my group had to wait until low tide (around 4:00 pm today) to go
out and collect our samples. Thankfully, today we’ve decided to collect all the
rest of our samples out in the field and keep them alive over night by leaving
them with the tops open so that we will have stuff in the morning and not have
to wait until late again. This will also give us more time to work on our
presentations and write up our lab reports. Otherwise, today has been pretty
chill. I know Nora saw a group of six baby sea turtles be decimated by some
seagulls which made her have a vendetta against the birds for a good chunk of
the day. For breakfast I had an omelet with spinach and parmesan in it. It was
delicious. Tea time was at 10:30 again here, but this time I didn’t partake
since it was salted caramel and coffee flavored, so I grabbed one of the older
chocolate coconut muffins to tide me over until lunch.
I actually felt the urge to draw today so I went outside and
doodled for a bit. It ended up being Undertale related, so no drawings of
beaches! Lunch was good too, even though it was quesadillas. I ate one but wasn’t
that hungry since I haven’t done much around here to stimulate my appetite. After
lunch, I hung out with people for a while, until we headed out to go and
collect our samples. This time we did two transect lines instead of just one,
so we were out there for a little bit longer, but we knew what we were doing so
it wasn’t that much longer. It was pretty windy though, which made the water a
little annoying. And Nora got pooped on by one of the birds. We came back,
settled into going through everything with the microscopes again until sunset.
Sunset… wasn’t really sunset (wasn't worth taking a picture of either, pity). There were clouds all over the
sky, so we couldn’t even see the sun, and it was still super windy, so it was
not fun to be out there at all. I was quickly running back to the research
station to get back to work until Dinner came around. Pat has struck again. He
made us roast beef, potatoes, veggies, and a mandarin maple cake. Everything,
like always it seems, was amazing. I was so stuffed by the end of dinner. And
that’s where I am now. I figured I would blog a little early so I can still finish
going through samples afterward and so Mom won’t worry about me. That’s all for
now. Talk to you tomorrow!
