This morning we all locked in after breakfast for the last stretch of project time! Some were done while others were making final touches and getting peer checked. Everyone dreaded getting checked by Maya as we all know she’s the master of poster making and will make a thousand small corrections to our posters. Despite the corrections, her wise words payed off in the end and we can’t wait to show off our amazing work tomorrow evening!

To get a refresher from sitting, and to celebrate being done with projects, we went out for a peaceful hike at Limekiln State Park. Adam talked us through the unique landscape and interesting artifacts that still lay in the park. We hiked to a few view points and got to see a few Limekilns of course!

The first view point we made it to was absolutely stunning, but slightly scary! We saw some super cool marine fog, blocking any chance we had of seeing orcas (tragic).

After the walk we helped ourselves to a mid-day snack while listening to Maya and Adam talk about their experience with SEA (Sea Education Association). We got the inside scoop on what it’s like to do the SEA program as a study abroad option which sounded pretty cool!

After the amazing talk we made our way over to Friday Harbor Labs for the last time during this program. We got some time to look at the stockroom (merch) before going to a talk about Thermodynamics of Coral with Dr. Truscott. The talk brought some interesting discussion to dinner where we enjoyed some delicious mac n cheese and lasagna!

See you tomorrow for presentation day!!
