 This week we dove into our marine biology lessons. As someone inexperienced with the ocean and unfamiliar with the habitats in it, I learned a lot through the lectures. I was most surprised to learn about the fish is that certain species are sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they progressively change genders as they age. This is crazy as a Finding Nemo fan because Nemo could have had his father and mother figure in Marlon. In regards to Nice fish, I enjoyed trying escargot for the first time. Firm, squishy, and a little too salty, it was not bad at all. I look forward to swimming with the fish today.

 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.
