now I'm excited with a touch of freaked out.

So today was awesome. The professors are awesome and hilarious and they all bicker about whose field is better and such. Highlights from day one of class:
  • Leaving Moorea with less students is bad
  • If we see some whales in the lagoon we will just grab a boat and go swim with them...apparently this is a regular/almost daily activity (and yes you should be jealous)
  • Brent Mishler, a professor, does not approve of cheap hand lenses
  • Some of us may have to have beach bungalows with outdoor kitchens and literally be feet away from the water
  • Peanut butter is expensive in Moorea, but the pineapple is the best ever
  • Emphasis on how Moorea is quite literally in the middle of the pacific.
  • The class motto is be flexible
This is going to be amazing.
