Tuesday, July 9, 2013 11:53 P.M. Today was a good day. I was able to sleep in until 11:45 or so, which is good because I was absolutely exhausted from staying up and editing the day 17 blog (I’m still working on some of the videos, but trust me, they are worth it). Today, we […]
Hawaii Day 1 (Micronesia Day 18) – Back to Luxury
Monday, July 8, 2013 9:49 P.M. For now on, I’ll try to have two subjects to each post… one from what I am doing on the Big Island, and another from what my friends are doing back in Pohnpei. I didn’t hear anything from Pohnpei today, so I’ll just talk about Hawaii. Today was a […]
Micronesia: Day 17 – Globetrotting Day
Monday, July 8, 2013 The writing that you see in italics was written on July 8, 2013 at 2:40 P.M. Hawaii time. This post gives an overview of my travel day yesterday. I had a last breakfast with everybody in the morning, and then they all left to go do some field work counting seagrasses […]
Micronesia: Day 15 – Public Health Signs, Kolonia, and The Rusty Anchor
Saturday, July 6, 2013 11:34 P.M. Anybody know what this means? Ok, I started this and uploaded all the pictures at 11:34 P.M. on Saturday, but now it is 9:32 P.M. on Sunday and I am just beginning to actually type about what happened. Well, let’s get to it before it all washes out of […]
Micronesia: Day 16 beta
Sunday, July 7, 2013 6:52 P.M. This is my last night in Micronesia, so I’m planning to live it up. Whether that means initiating canine fights, getting wasted off sakau, or having mangrove-identifying competitions, I do not know. But whatever it is, it’s not going to be antisocial. My mom’s secret b-day party begins in […]
Micronesia: Day 14 – Sakau, Seagrasses and Sunsets
Water just outside the barrier reef surrounding Pohnpei, Micronesia – 7/5/13 Friday, July 5, 2013 8:34 P.M. Good evening everybody. Well, for all my readers in Seattle, I should say “good before-sunbreak everyone.” Anyway, it’s Friday evening here, and I had a spectacular end to a spectacular week. First off, let me upload some pictures […]
Micronesia: Day 13
Friday, July 5, 2013 1:22 A.M. Even though I’m writing this post on Friday, this post is about Thursday and July 4th. Today was a pretty chill day. As a nice break, we went to the U.S. embassy in Kolonia for a 4th of July party. There were American flags, patriotic songs sung by adorable […]
Micronesia: Day 12 – Hi Mom! :)
Wednesday, July 3, 2013 11:54 P.M. I love my mom Sacrifice. Do you know what that means? Well, for those who don’t know, it means Sara Robertson. My mom flew all the way over from Seattle to Pohnpei just to see me after my two back to back seizures. I’ll be seeing her in two […]
Micronesia: Day 11 – The End?
Tuesday, June 2, 2013 4:21 P.M. There’s been a change in plans. The UW IPE is ordering me to go home. Of course, I don’t want to go home, my professor doesn’t want me to go home, my parents don’t want me to go home, and the other kids on the trip don’t want me […]
Micronesia: Day 8 – Storms and My Mangrove Report
June 30, 2013 11:43 A.M. I know I didn’t do a very sizable blog post yesterday… this was because I was working on a field report for the data we collected in the mangrove swamps. I told you I’d post some of the data and an analysis once I analyzed it, so that’s what I’ll […]
