Our week at University of South Florida St. Petersburg
showed me a lot of things I liked about marine science. I had never thought all
that much about cephalopods until this week. Hearing Dr. Judkins talk about her
career really opened my eyes about the different aspects of this field. First
thing I realized during this week is that cephalopods are REALLY cool. A large
majority of Dr. Judkins research was spending weeks out at sea. I had never
been seasick before this course began but going out on the Weatherbird made me
sick for a second time throughout these 4 weeks. This made me realize that
having a career that requires me to be out at sea for long periods of time may
not be the best thing for me. I really enjoyed being on the Weatherbird after I
stopped feeling so sick! Since I really enjoyed being out there besides the
seasickness, I may just have to get used to being out at sea if that is what is
in my future.
During this week I realized I need to improve on my presentation skills. My anxiety holds me back from giving proper presentations. Dr. Judkins helped the class improve on these skills by giving constructive comments after each group was done presenting. This was very helpful so I can be better in the future.
