fossilized whale bones

Post date: Jul 8, 2013 6:23:50 PM

I've had so much fun so far during the internship. I was a bit worried when I first came in, not knowing the type of people who would be attending or the work I would be doing. My fears were quickly calmed when I met everyone on the first day. Every single person was so friendly and I've made so many new friends.

The work, while it can be tedious at times, is still very interesting. Making graphs and being able to see trends in the size of different fossils during different time periods is incredibly intriguing and is getting me to think of ideas for what project I will be doing. We will finally start our projects on Monday, something I have been looking forward to all summer, even though I am not 100% sure on what project I want to do.

My favorite part of the internship overall was the field trip to all the beaches. I would never expect to see fossilized whale bones just lying on the beach. Overall this has been a very fun experience and I'm looking forward to the rest of the internship.
