 The first week of travels were a bit stressful, I will not lie. Learning new social

norms, a new language, and making up a new schedule for daily life. The weather has

been temperamental like a teenager but has been lovely not matter what, in my opinion.

Marine biology class has been one of the highlights through this transitional period. We

have dived into the different types of fish and are starting to look more into marine life

as the days go on. The class went to a fish section of a local farmers supermarket and

saw many types of fish. I was a photographer for a fish dissection and I, myself help

dissect cephalopods. Also how cool is the cuttle bone??

    So many people have given cuttlebones to their birds, as a calcium supplement, without ever knowing how cool the animal that they come from are!

 Over the first week of our study abroad program I have learned a fair bit, mostly concerning the cultural norms of the French, but also about marine biology. We covered a handful of interesting concepts, such as the many different species of fish, their environments, and their evolutionary adaptations, we even got to cut open some fish for first hand biology experience (I couldn't stomach dissecting them). The trip to the open air fish market was exciting, I had never seen anything like it before; although, the tram ride to the market had us packed in like sardines. I've gotten to eat almost as many species of fish as we've studied. Tomorrow we go snorkeling in the Mediterranean, I can't wait. I hope there are no icebergs.
