 This week I learned a lot of solid foundational biology. I feel very confident that I will be able to

build from that knowledge and put it to practical use during the dissection. I think one of my

favorite things to learn about has been the different classes of fish and how diverse they are. For

example the Agnatha class are super unique in how they function and the way their biology

differs from a normal fish. With class Chondrichthyes they are very similar to class Osteichthyes

except for their fins and some internal organs. I can’t wait to learn what type of fish are

specifically native to the Mediterranean Sea.

 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.
