Day 3 - Introduction and Assignment of Diversity Projects - Meet the Baikal Seal


Hi! It is Day 2 of the course and it was a gross rainy day for most of the morning. Our first stop was the DFO Library, which was closed due to a death in the librarians family. Then we headed of to a boring 45 minutes at the computer lab, waiting for the aquarium to open.
We visited the aquarium (same as yesterday) and got a guided tour, along with watching of the seals being fed. They are fed dead fish, so it wasn't to exciting.
Then we had lunch (tacos) with the afternoon filled with lectures. I think I will start studying tonight...right after I finish my Diversity project. Oh yes, we were assigned random marine mammals that we need to do our personal Diversity project on...meet the Baikal Seal (picture above)...I will know everything about this seal by tomorrow. Our presentations are Thursday evenings, so basically I want to get it all down ASAP, so that I can practice for the oral.
So, tomorrow is a day filled with lectures, and the following as well, and then we get to go on a field trip - which I am looking forward to. Mmmm...girl just asked to switch topics...I disagreed...too risky...oh well, too bad for her.
Well, more later. Missing you all with all my heart!
