I never imagined I would be so dependent on a 60-gallon trash bag. I also never imagined I would spend my summer working with nesting Leatherback sea turtles in a foreign country in the Caribbean. I have spent 19 glorious days in St. Kitts and, during most of those days, I have walked the length…

This is a lot more stressful than I had anticipated. I didn’t realize that I would have to do so much preparation. There is this huge list of things that I have to get in order before I leave and I don’t know if it willl all get done in time. I have to study for finals,…

I have never been more than a few hundred miles from home. Toulouse is about 4500 miles from home, so I’m probably in for a big culture shock. Right now, I’m a little anxious about the trip because I’ve been on a plane 4 times in my life, never over an hour and a half.…
