Today was chaotic, but really fun. Megan wants to get me more comfortable with microscopes (I’ll likely be looking through them a lot), so for a good chunk of today, I was watching samples from our fish tanks. It was slow work, but I’m here for the journey, not just the action. Either way, it was mesmerizing, and larval snails are weird-looking. I also have some light reading for this weekend (kidding, the books Megan gave me are about five pounds each) to learn more about insect biology before delving into forensic science. Although I originally joined for forensics, I’m really enjoying it all so far, more than I expected. I can’t stop wanting to know more about everything I can get my hands on. Let’s see what I can reach.
Love,
Thea

Today was pretty chill. I made a pin (unimportant but fun) and yelled at Jared (the pin maker). I’ve also added a few links to my NoodleTools, which, for some inexplicable reason, I chose to subject myself to. Unfortunately, the humanities teachers may have had a point because it’s really helping to keep me organized. Anyways, I think I’ve officially chosen to begin studying bot flies, so I’ve been looking at them and their morphology. I really need to update my researcher profile, though, so see you next time!
Love,
Thea
