Today was our last day in Florida as Tropical Ospreys.
Throughout this week, all 11 of us became very close to one another through
rooming together, and through car ride conversations. One of those interesting
conversations of ours was fun facts about ourselves! Some people had trouble
coming up with a fun fact and others had two fun facts.
11)
Dr. Z shared with us that while she was an
undergrad in Florida, Dawson’s Creek was filmed on campus! She also became an
extra on the show!
22)
Matt the TA’s uncle helped start Canada Dry!
33)
Sam presented a research project on hurricanes
that she did, at a NASA conference.
44)
Marissa is related to President Eisenhower
55)
Toni’s fun fact is that she has a mixture of
different accents. Since she grew up 10 minutes away from New York, she has
that city accent that we from South Jersey know too well. She also spent a lot of
her time growing up in the south with her family in North Carolina, so she has acquired
a bit of southern accent, along with a “South Jersey accent”. Her second fun fact
is that her hair dressers daughter dated Trey Songz! And he came into the salon
while she was getting her hair done!
66)
Caroline has a pretty middle name of Waverlee.
Caroline also was learning and living on a sailboat for a semester, traveling around
to different islands in the Caribbean Sea, doing different oceanographic
research projects.
77)
Nicole has a steady hand in shooting archery!
88)
My fun fact was that I was contacted on LinkedIn
by a researcher who needs interns, for a project that is focusing on breeding
and cultivating sea cucumbers on the Ontong Java Atoll, in the Solomon Islands.
99)
Erika traveled abroad to Brazil with 17 other people
for a few weeks with fellow Stockton students and a professor for class.
Although there are fun facts missing for Shawn and Dana, we
all may know a little too much about each other in the brief time that we were
together. Sharing our fun factoids with each other sparked laughter, jokes, and
other conversations. This was truly an unforgettable experience, I wouldn't have wanted to go on this trip with a different group
"Fun factoids" was definitely one of my famous phrases on the trip! I can't remember the name of the guy from MOAT right now, (which is really bad... it will come to me soon) but when he said "fun factoid" it was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. This memory is always going to pop up in my head for sure when someone says the word fact.
ReplyDelete#FunFactoid.... I am coming back to the Florida Keys with my scuba diving certification, and to explore the reefs the right way!
