Today was the first day of classes for me and i didn't get lost!!! YAY! all my classes are amazing! my Conserving marine wildlife professor as his side job and research collects and tags sea turtles! I'm going to talk to him and see if he needs a set of extra hands :).
In my intro. to aquaculture class we get to raise a baby barramundi and select a food we think will work to get the highest protein to food ratio!! My aquaculture class is also a video lecture where we are in a class room and our teacher is presenting to us and another class in cairns, that we can see them in our class via video and they can see us! its pretty cool!
Then in my life history and evolution of coral reefs we take a 3 day field trip to Orpheus Island and dive and snorkel and do research on a certain coral species! Then do a project on our selected coral! So pretty much I have died and gone to coral heaven here! so far the classes seem all about the same toughness but it is only the first week.
My Coral Reef geomorphology class seems really cool as well, we also get to go on a weekend trip to Orpheus Island and get to these cool measurements of the beaches and different types of beach. the teacher seems really cool, he's from New Zealand!
It is still surreal to be in classes after not being in school for soo long, but I'm now worried its going to fly by! so we are now starting to book all out adventures to varies islands and under water wrecks :)
Sounds like you have some great classes. I hope you get a chance to work with the sea turtles. How cool would that be!
