Lots of writing

I just sent my report to Jana and just like I told her I will tell all of you that lately has been editing my work and then adding more. I've gotten just about all the information I need, except for later this week I'm going to be looking at endangered species which i like. Not that I like endangered species its just that the topic hits home to me and I'm really interested in finding out what we can do. I know there are turtles endangered in the area and thats a big thing throughout the world. Tonight, Carrie and I are leaving to go down to the coast and then to the Darling Marine Center tomarrow. I'm so excited you don't even realize because I have been cooped up in this office for the past...5? weeks and a change will be nice. hopefully it will be nicer than it is right now with all the thunderstorms. anyway, time to head out for the day.
have a good one.

long time no blogging...

These past couple of days have been about editing my story and most of my work. Editing is alot of hours and hard for me to grasp because well.. I'm wordy, and so isn't Carrie. Everything is going good though and we're starting to wrap up everything. Mariam, the girl I talk to is putting giving me a picture to help me with my presentation because she has been such a big help for me to try to understand what they're doing millions of miles away. It's the weekend and it means I have two weeks left.
Excited and sad.
Have a good weekend.

days fly by..

Today was actually a really good day.
It seemed to go by really quickly.
I worked on some descriptions and went through pictures
I also went to the aquaculture center which was really cool
It was a lot different then I thought it was going to be and I liked it
I found out that the fish they grow don't even go into the ocean, they go to pet stores
because if fish stores get them directly from the ocean they can have cyanide on them
and we were growing clown fish, like nemos which I thought we would be growing Maine fish.
anyway, it was a good day.

pre-presentation time

Today I've been working on making a concept map for my presentation at the end of the internship. At the beginning I was way to specific so Carrie and I went through it to make it more general and easy to follow.
I also sorted out the information I have recieved from Mariam (my Kuwait friend) and it is alot of very useful information.
Monday, Carrie wont be here but I'm going to the aquaculture center so that should be good.
Have a good one.

People from Kuwait

Today was really good for me.
Not only did I get done (for the most part) my fish kill story and my fish kill map but I found out things from the girl from Kuwait.
Her grandmother helped as well because she's been there for so long. It's alot of stuff to explain but apparently fishing is just a hobby now there and their climate is changing extremely.
yesterday, I'm not sure if I wrote in this yesterday but I went to a seminar and I figured out a good thing about Kuwait's sand storms.
I feel like I'm making really good progress on my people section of this project =)
Monday I go to the aquaculture center, time to get out of the office!

my progress...

So here's a list of what I have done with my 1/2 of an internship
-researched and read up
-graphs on: imports, exports, landing catch
- collected data we're looking at in organized form
- map for fish kills
- resources for fish kills
I think I'm doing good
I have to admit that these three and 1/2 weeks have kind of dragged on but hopefully they will get better when I start getting out of the office. I don't like sitting in here all day but there really isn't much else I can do. I plan on going to the Darling Marine Center and the aquaculture area on campus.
I still have yet to get the information I need from the different countries, I'm trying but only a few people will talk to me and they don't even know what I'm talking about so I don't really have an opinion on the issues.

Productive?

I don't feel like I got far today.
I tried to do my map on google earth but that blew up in my face and I had to start over. Then Carrie sent me back comments on my descriptions, which I thought I had done better on. I guess I don't have very good science grammar.
Today was a move an inch day but Carrie said by learning more about my graphs and what causes those results I was more productive than I thought.
I haven't got any word back from my friend from Kuwait, I hope by monday I will.
Have a good weekend.
