So how’s everyone doing? Great?? Great to hear!!! Hahaha

Ok so it’s been an AMAZING 8 weeks and I’m am really glad to have taken part of this program. I loved it. Even when I fell asleep here and there during lectures. One of the best things you can do is listen to someone who’s really passionate and knowledgeable about their specific study or field and that’s exactly what this program has let me do through all the speakers (especially enjoyed the elephant guy. HE’S A BEAST!). I really loved all the independence we were given during data collection and our research projects. Interacting with the other interns during those times and taking breaks to walk around campus was really cool. I loved the freedom and that’s probably what I’m going to remember this internship for. Being on a new refreshing campus with new people and being able to explore it all. Noel is an amazing mentor and open to questions, which was really helpful considering we were being exposed to so many new things! Shoutout to him he’s awesome!

The final day was nothing less of spectacular. I got to see what the interns in the other labs were working on and that was really cool! The agriculture section seemed really satisfying to work at and John hit a sick dab. The lab environment seemed really interesting and their work seemed so specific and detailed. If I do have the freedom to come back and apply to this program, I’d definitely look into applying to a different section as they seem really interesting to be a part of!

The Beginning of the End

posted July 20, 2016

These last few weeks have gone by surprisingly fast and hellllllaaaaaaaaaaa stuff has happened!! We’ve been reading and discussing “Biology’s First Law” and it’s been surprisingly interesting. I’m so ??¿¿? about it because I’ve only ever enjoyed reading fiction and I haven’t taken a biology class in high school yet so the technical terms kinda confuses me making the book hard to comprehend, but the discussions the group has makes the book so interesting!! It’s wild. We recently paused data collection, but it’s still all good because we’re moving onto our research projects and there’s still slaps playing while I work >:). I recently gave my natural history presentation on cattle and I gave it a comedic twist so that was pretty lit too haha.

YOOOO let me tell you about the camping trip. It was lit, but not lit. It was my first time camping and everyone was pretty chill, so it was an overall good experience. The hike was fun too, great views on the way to the top. BUT. There was no signal. The camping trip really made me appreciate the comfort that comes with living under a roof. The first thing I did after getting back from that trip was taking a shower. And it was the best shower I’ve ever taken. Camping was really fun, but I think I would choose the indoors anyday. I think that’s also a reason why I chose to join badminton over tennis, but that’s another story.

If you have any questions or you want to collab hit me up at ngokelvin9596@students.esuhsd.org! Haha and to close it off here’s a derp of Ben from our camping trip!
