End of Week 3, ALREADY!?

Wow, it is already the end of the third week and it just feels like we all started yesterday! Where even to begin, this week was packed with so much assignments that were important for my future research that I will be conducting. To begin with we began to read a book by Carl Safina, but were only required to read one chapter, I chose to read chapter 4: Killer Wails. It was an insightful chapter about marine life and their way of communicating, living, and how we became to learn about them. On thing that stuck with me even after reading it about 3 days go would have to be that we, humans, began to capture marine life, such as dolphins and whales, to study them and learn more about them. Not until someone found out they have abilities to perform and are smart animals to learn tricks that it turned from learning about them to making money off of them.

Since the begin of this course I knew that I wanted to research on marine life, but I am contemplating what animal I should chose, dolphins or killer whales. I just find those two animals so astonishing and beautiful.

What leaned me towards these animals would have to be all the marine biologist I have read about. I began to follow them on twitter because they are just fascinating people. As well as a lot of vocabulary that line under cognitive abilities and potentially explaining what someone is trying to mean like the word beast. I am hoping that everyday flows to be great at the end!
