It would be very strange to meet a normal person, but how can someone be normal when everyone lse is crazy? Wouldn't that make all the crazy people normal? Also, not everyone is unique or special. Preppy trend-followers, for example, are often cardboard cutouts of each other.

It is! Taht's why it's so interesting. It's within reasoanble distance, and we know absolutely nothing about it. Even the creatures we have studied for years have put forth not even a solid 3 pages of information!

Well, 20 years for the college aspect if you want to work research independently. The internships are fairly short. I think that my favorite part will be actually being in the water, decked out in chainmail, with the Humboldt squid darting around me. Though, I'll also love actually seeing a cookie cutter shark. I'm not big on dolphins. They're cute, but not that interesting.

As for the most magnificent thing, I'd love to be underwater during the sardine migration as it hits the tip of southern Africa. African penguins, dolphins, sharks, and gannets all feast on the school of sardines. Whale pause there in their migration even though they don't eat. All of the predatore are prety much ignoring each other.

A lot of people come into the field unconcerned about the labor aspect and research papers. They think they'll get it pretty easy in this field, adn don't think about long hot hours spent sweating in the sun. I saw a girl hook a fishing pole to her waist, stand at the edge of the boat, and rock back and forth on her feet trying to reel in a Humboldt squid. It's a miricle she didn't get pulled in and ripped to shreds. The research papers being put out? They restate all the information that has already been said, and they're poorly written! it hurts to see these people going into what could be such a wonderful field.


 * ) Is that your favorite thing? That moment?

You're welcome. I have noticed the change, yes. I'm glad that you feel like you are learning things  from me, and I feel like I know more now that when we first started talking. Of course you have flaws. Everyone does. Well, except me! No, I'm kidding. I'm pretty sure that your spelling has been pretty consistently correct...
