Yesterday was full of fun, and I was just too tired last night to write about it. We're coming down to the last of our lectures, and had our last lab class yesterday. Actually, lecture was a lot shorter yesterday than it had been the last couple of days, and we mainly went over the different bays that make up the Ningaloo Reef in West Australia. This included going over which animals we were going to see up in Coral Bay, which made all of us wish we were already there. We are going to see everything from reef sharks to green turtles to dolphins to humpback whales to manta rays, not to mention all the fish, coral, and invertebrates that will be on the reef.
Lunch was two hours long, because of how early lecture got out, so we spent part of it in the library cafe eating our lunches and drinking hot chocolate, and then the last hour or so, we explored Bush Court, which is the main part of campus. Lab was spent learning how to use Coral Point Count, which analyzes pictures of transects, and works up all of the analytic and statistical data for you.
After a dinner of leftover spaghetti from a couple of nights ago, we got dressed up and headed back into Freemantle, but this time to see the club scene. Wednesdays were apparently the big night for Newport, so we headed out at 8:30, and arrived at nine. There was no line to get in, and after having our passports scanned and our hands stamped, we were let in. The club was split into three sections: a bar in the front, a side room with chairs and billiards tables, and then the dance floor in the back. There was a DJ mixing the tunes, so we set down our rain jackets and headed out on the floor. The music they played was very techno like, and often mixed in current hit songs. A few of us left around 10:30, however due to the greatness of mass transit at night, the bus we needed to get on didn't arrive until eleven. All in all, yesterday was a very calm day, and hopefully today will be much the same...but warmer and drier :)
