Week Three
As the internship progresses and the tempo speeds up, I find myself a bit more stressed than normal. Although, I am very excited to learn more about ecology and conservation, I find myself working indoors more often than I would have liked. I am the type of individual that exceeds with hands on, interactive learning. So, lately I haven’t really felt as engaged as I was in the first week. Despite my dilemma, it has opened my mind up. In the sense that, field work is one thing but, lab work must be done to follow up the field work.
Rafael, I know that being indoors and actually sitting down to create a project or dealing with paperwork is almost life ending for you. However, I am confident that you will start to not only understand why it is important to do so but also actually start to at least find it bearable to deal with. It is important to remember that if the paperwork is not pushed it is highly unlikely that there will be an adventure to be found. I know that you will have this down by the time you are in a place in your career where you’ll have to apply for grants for your adventures. Or must sit down to write a book on your findings. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to working with you this semester and learning from each other weakness and strengths.
