Day 11: Lab Test
Today was our much anticipated lab exam. I am happy to report that everyone made it through alive and unharmed. The first part was taken in the classroom, where we looked at slides and were asked to identify and state the taxonomy of the different organisms that we have seen during all our previous snorkeling ventures. The second part was taken at one of our previously visited sites, where we identified organisms in their natural habitat. On the way there, we encountered some pelting rain, which chilled us to the bone. The waves were pretty powerful also, but we bravely battled the weather for the sake of our grades and our arduous studying. Fortunately, the day cleared up, which meant some leisure time to engage in activities of our pleasure, whether it was shopping in downtown San Pedro, diving at a coral reef site, or styling in some old school tube socks and headbands to challenge the local Belizians in some basketball. We certainly are relieved to be done with the lab exam!
