You guys are in for a sad blog this week. Please have tissues ready to go. Thank you. Poster presentations were this week. Everything we had worked endlessly over these entire nine weeks led up to this moment. I honestly thought that my poster was going to be the end of me, with all of the formatting and I broke my laptop right before it was due, but I made it through. And the end result is this beautiful baby! I can honestly say that I am so proud of myself and I feel like research is much less intimidating than it was initially. These past weeks have taught me that even though things you planned do not work entirely, you just have to pick yourself up and try another way. Steven and I got into the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation Rising TIDES program! So we will be seeing each other and Julie in Alabama, this upcoming November. Me and Steven will be presenting a joint poster combining both of our research projects. I am super excited that we get to travel and present our research together. I’m also super stoked about going to a conference for the first time, I don’t even know what to expect! The last week, we went to all of our classic spots, such as the local Coos Bay Walmart, Bastendorff, and of course OIMB beach. I got go surfing with Phillip and he gave all of the great surfing tips. For example, bring a jug of hot water to pour over your head after you’re done, it honestly one of the most comforting things I’ve ever felt. It feels like a warm egg is being cracked over your head.
Thanks for reading my blog, hope you all enjoyed them. Bye for now!
