I have to go eat dinner SOON:
-Saw some humpback whales today, far offshore. Could really only see them breathing (probably a mother and a calf) and the occasional glint of a fluke as they dove.
-Saw some seals, chilling on the rocks near the research station. Apparently they're always there, so I'll have to go back and check them out more often.
-Project 1 Status: 90% Complete
(Done staring at fish breathe! Not quite done subjecting fish to lower dissolved oxygen concentrations -- or "gassing them" as we like to say. Oh no, it's cool. My groupmate is Jewish and he's the one that named our setup "Fishcowicz".)
-Project 2 Status: 15% Complete
(All that remains is tidepooling tidepooling tidepooling, which, thankfully, is fun.)
-Got to go tidepooling twice last week. It's fun! It doesn't quite make up for all the other non-fun we have here, but it's nice to have some respite.
-The weather's turned for the nicer, which is great, but watch it turn back to foggy and nasty just for our 5 days of tidepooling that includes our weekend. (I feel a song coming on...)
Stay sane! No wait -- that's my advice to myself.
