3rd Day

Wow was today great. The morning was the same. Get up make breakfast and lunch like normal people do and I was off to the project location. We got a few more lessons about biological classification and optics. The afternoon was harsh. The professor got all of us to do "exercises" if you consider flips and 540's exercises. It was fun. We got some laughs which I believe was the main point. The evening was also cool. Dinner, a swim in the pool, and a movie. It can't get any better than that. So yeah, that whole day was great and swimming tomorrow would be even better.

That's it, that's all.

My first blog post?!

Haha, this is totally my first experience with any blog. This Science Academy thing, it's awesome! Everyone here is so nice (yes, even you!). The science part of it is good too...haha. I dont really know what else to say which is of any importance so...... LONG LIVE THE FISH-PEOPLE!!

Pinawa thus far

Well, it is day two of my time at the Manitoba Science Academy (that is, July 3rd). So far I have been given a theoretically oriented lecture by my undergraduate tutor and a scientific log book by one of my senior scientist supervisors, an associate professor. The other supervisor, a graduate student, briefly asked some questions related to the theoretical lecture and then left to carry out other work. Both my supervisors and tutors are from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. I ought to stop here, as the rest might be confidential (it probably isn't, but rather safe than sorry).

In the evening I played some soccer and purchased some diet soda pop (which, contrary to popular opinion, is not poison) from the local grocery store. I also played some soccer with local residents of Pinawa while others had an interesting (to say the least!) game of red rover. I'm somewhat sorry that I missed that game, but soccer was enjoyable nonetheless.

Today, one of my peers at the Science Academy had a birthday. So happy birthday was sung throughout the day and cake was consumed at night.

This will be one of an unspecified number of blog posts by me from the MSA. I hope everyone else continues to have an spectacular time here.

Sincerely,

Dylon

2nd Day

Today was a fellow camper's birthday so we had a party, which was great. As for the projects most of us I believe received some safety training classes which was a TAD boring. But hey it will come in absolute help if the situation appears. *Knock on wood* Sleeping was great.

That's it, that's all.

First Day Over

The first day is over at the camp. I'm completing my settling in and so far it has been great. Getting to meet new people is very fun and interesting. Tomorrow will be the first day of our projects and hopefully those are as exciting as the first day. Sure it was kind of sad to say good bye to my family for 6 weeks but I'm doing fine. It's my first time away from my family for such a long period of time but it seems like I'm doing fine.

That's it, that's all and good night

Almost There

July 2 is approaching very quickly. It seems as if just a few days ago there were weeks until the start of the camp and now there is only two days. I’m partially packed and looking forward to the Manitoba Science Academy. The experience will give me a real feel for how science is actually done and will likely enhance the feeling of splendour I associate with science.

I cannot, however, say the same about the 10 hour trip! It’ll be worth it, nevertheless. I’m sure it will be a pleasure to meet you all.

In anticipation,
Dylon
