American Robin Nest

Today, Monday July 12, 2010, my pollution control class had its first exam about water pollution. Personally, I like the fact that our teacher decided to give us 2 take home essays worth 100 points and only 50points in class exam. Later in the afternoon, we went to the library at Gregg- Graniteville Library and Kaetrena helped us learn how to use scientific journals and databases. While we were in the computer lab, Jennifer, our Teacher Assistant happened to walk past the window and saw a nest of baby robins. VERY COOL! That is the picture of the day. J

(Updates on last week: On Saturday July 10 our wetland and ecology class went to class at 8:15am to gather around calling Congaree National Park in hopes of scheduling a kayak and nature hike tour. Since the kayak and hike tour is free many people call for many hours trying to get a hold of someone to schedule this tour. It is also limited to only a certain amount of people each weekend. Luckily, Allie got the winning call. She was able to reach someone and we were able to make this happen. Everyone that showed up this morning got extra credit on our next exam. YES! Our class lectured for a little while. I did some errands in the afternoon and met with my partner to work on our project. We accomplished a lot that day. On Sunday, I spent my day studying in small study groups for my upcoming 2 exams and working on my papers. I feel very accomplished this weekend. )



Yours truly,
