 This first week abroad I have learned quite a bit. I've gotten to explore Nice and learn how to use public transport to get around. It has been a great adventure for me so far as well as learning and getting used to the culture here. This week's biology lessons have also been extremely informative and going to the fish market and doing a dissection, helped to cement the things I've learned a lot better. Besides the dissection being a little icky, it really helped me understand the anatomy of the fish a lot better. Being so close to the beach has been a beautiful experience so far, and getting to live in a place filled with so much history and places and things I've never seen before has genuinely been a magical experience. I can't wait to experience everything else we have planned.

 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.
