Today we took a chill pill and relaxed to the sound of the rain and thunder. Derek came over and we discussed the data collecting we’ve done in the field over the past week, from False Bay to Mount Grant. In addition, he also helped us understand the process by which one should conduct an experiment. As lunch arrived, we worked on writing up our observations, questions, and hypotheses for our upcoming projects. Alex helped us organize our thoughts and gave us helpful examples of how to write them. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing chess, walking into town, attempting to figure out how to play battleship, and discussing the means of actually carrying out our various projects. It was a much needed rest day after a busy week post kayaking trip, and we were all better off for taking it.
