The work week concluded with trips to the Aquarium and to Hoophole to set fiddler crab traps and work on vegetation sampling. I also spent nearly 6 hours typing in data that we have collected. I hereby declare that I will never ever have a job that involves sitting at a computer for 6 hours everyday and typing in data. It was pretty terrible. This is the great thing about internships. You learn what you don’t want to do. That was also the first day since June 1 that I have NOT been out in the field at all during the workday. That’s pretty crazy. But the rest of the work week was pretty slow. Certainly a lull in the action. Friday we had the annual 4th of July cookout for all of the IMS staff. Apparently they get together twice each year – 4th of July and Christmas. It was crazy to see everyone together in one place at one time. Probably 50% of the people I had never seen before. Seeing everyone interact, I must admit I am really happy with the lab group I ended up working for. It was also nice to interact with some of the other interns that I see around a lot but never really get to talk to. The food was AMAZING, especially since the desserts were BYO.
As soon as I stuffed my face – I hopped in the car and called it a week. Extended weekend get excited!!!!
Back into another world this evening….
