Insect Bio: Day 4

adnane said...
Today is our fourth day here at stone lab. We took a 30 min trip to another island. We had an aportunity to catch more insects to add to our collection . This was a good apportunity to collect different insects that we didn't had a chance to catch in pervious islands. After spending more than four hours in the island looking for different insects we head back to class which took another 30 min. We took a Mid-term test to identify what kind of insect and what is the order

So far I am still having a great time. I still have to identify my bugs to their families but meh, at least I had fun collecting them. I love the work here and if possible would love to come back over the summer. Only 34 hours (approxamately) until we are back in Columbus! I can't wait to see you all there!

We have to get our collections and our paper in tomorrow, and at 5 we will be back in Columbus. I've actually managed to capture a fair amount of insects. Hopefully I'll pass the class.

Insect Bio: Day 3

Austin said...
Well, so far I would have to say that college work is a lot more hands on work than listening to the teacher describe things. You have to choose what is important to know and how best to learn it. In my opinion it isn't really harder but it is a lot more fun atleast in the Entemology class.

They don't really put pressure on you they just want the work done in a timely fashion. Otherwise it is completely up to you as to when you get everything done. Oh, and this is still Austin K. posting.

After collecting few isects under trees, bushes or just in the ground. We went next lake Erie to collect sea bugs to add to our collection.

The experience here at Stone Lab is even more exciting this year. Although the classes are hyped to be difficult to the extreme, I have found they are challenging, but fun. Through hard work and focus, I believe that these college credits can be earned, and the time spent is very enjoyable. Through my personal experience, I think that entomology is a fantastic and unique course and I hope it will continue this way.

We also can use row boats, which is so much fun! We can rides up in the lake with up to four people. We play volleyball with teachers and friends. The meals here are really tasty and i am glad i came here to learn and discover new things.

Sorry, I was just typing fast so that way I could say I had the first comment. (Yes, finally first in something!) To elaborate a bit more we started our day by leaving Metro about 20 minutes late and riding on the bus for two and a half hours. We got to see two movies, Superstar and Night at the Roxbury.

After we finally finished riding we got onto a fairie and went to Put-In Bay. After we made landfall we rode a bus to the other side of the island and got on a small OSU boat called the Gibraltor 3 to take us to Gibraltor Island. (Quite original at naming things, no?) We were on the boat for a whoping two minutes then were given our room assignments and unpacked our stuff then went to a short introduction as to what we would do here at Stone Labs.

At noon we ate lunch then went to our first classes. It was interesting since my Entemology teacher, Mr. Horn, also taught my aunt when she was working on her Masters for Entemology at OSU. We imediately went out to collect insects and were told to keep our collecting gear with us at all times. Later we went rowing, ate dinner, had our class continue at 7, and lastly slept in our dorms. I would post about the second day but it isn't over yet so you'll get to hear about that tomorrow.
