A week and a half before I leave for Hawaii! Two more days with students and then summer officially begins! This past weekend I got to break in my new hiking shoes with Jeff and Luke (my puppy) at the Fort Worth Nature Center. I finished the power point for the Hawaiian Reefs. I am so excited to see all of these creatures in person!

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.
I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Three Weeks
Three weeks to Hawaii. Yesterday, I bought my reef gloves. When I told the guy what I was going to be picking up in the reef, he went right to the gloves that have Kevlar in them. I don't think that my hands will be bullet proof, but hopefully they will be claw-proof. He said that these are the gloves that people wear when they are handling crabs and lobsters. We will see. Matt told this scary story about the 7-11 crab. Check out those claws! Yikes! I do want to see one, but I don't want to experience the pain that so many have felt from those crushing claws.

Countdown to Hawaii
Well, here goes. This is my first official Blog post. I have had my Aquatic Science kid Blogging all year long, so now I get to experience the torture that I put them through.
Four week from today, I will be in Hawaii starting my adventure at an official driver for the North Lake College Hawaiian Field Studies Course.
Yesterday, I started my Velocity training so that I get back into shape so that I can have a better time in Hawaii. My last day in Hawaii, I have Surf Lessons! All I want to do is ride one great wave. I can barely move today, but it will be worth it.
My goal with this Blog is to document what I have seen and learned each day. I am afraid that we will be doing so much and I will be learning so much that I am going to forget some things unless I write it down.
The countdown begins...
