Today was one of the those general feel good days. I can't really put my finger on one particular reason (there were many little things) but it was just good. I'll start by saying that today was Dr. M's last day and for that I am quite sad. She was honestly one of the best profs I've ever had and I'm not sure if these last two weeks will be the same without her. But hey, onwards and upwards is the old saying right? It's still going to be a blast!
I slept in an extra twenty minutes today and you'd be surprised at how good that little extra sleep can feel. I still managed to make it to breakfast on time AND have time to study a bit before lecture. We had lecture this morning then lab. Today's topic was Phylum Nemata (formally Phylum Nematoda, I think nematoda sounds a lot better personally)! In other words, my favorite worm group! Nematodes are thought to be the most abundant animal on the Earth but since they're so small and they're transparent (for the most part), they're incredibly hard to find. They say there may be more species of nematode than there are insects (which would be an incredibly large number {upwards of one million species})! Anyways the whole learning about nematodes thing put me in a good mood as well as hunting for nematodes in lab today. I did not actually find one but many of my classmates did. It doesn't hurt that Phylum Nemata (nematodes) make me think of the SpongeBob episode where his house gets eaten by nematodes and that random guy goes, "Dang you nematodes"! Sibling, you know what I'm talking about!
In the afternoon we had our group presentations for those projects that we had to redo (due to the whole class failing). I think the presentation went awesome! Everyone seemed to be following along and there were many questions asked at the end showing people's interest in our project. The quiz was after the presentations and I was feeling a little bit anxious since I hadn't had much time to study. But luckily today was one of those 'I know every answer' quizzes because I looked at it and literally grinned with joy. I finished up the quiz and the weekend began! In honor of Dr. M's last day, we all went out to Pachena Beach for a camp fire, some drinks and just general chill time. It was such a blast! We would've stayed longer but we've all got projects to work on tomorrow (remember it's crunch time)! I will definitely miss Dr. M!
See what I mean Reader? It's been a pretty good day! Not to mention the fact that my Norsk citizenship finally went through today! Yes it's official! I am now a dual-citizen and I'm so happy about it (jeg er så glad)! It's always nice when things work out and today was just one of those days! I think this weekend will turn out good as well! Tomorrow will be spent preparing for 'crunch time' (this coming week) and Sunday we're going whale watching! I'm very excited for that! Have a great and safe weekend Reader! I'll be thinking about you guys! I love and miss you all!
