The title may be slightly confusing, but hey, it rhymes! Our TA, Mr. Glover had to take our class out to Aiken State Natural Area for our field trip yesterday. We walked the nature trails and saw some wildlife (including a very friendly duck), but due to the volume of our group, I'm surprised the duck even stuck around. On our way out to the park, we were talking about the equine history of Aiken, South Carolina. Apparently, racehorses from the northern states are boarded here in the cold months. Right as Mr. Glover finished his story, we passed a huge polo area with piles of horses. Being a horse lover, I immediately screamed "POLO!" Since no one in the van had ever seen a game, Chris pulled over and let us watch for a few minutes. After we finished up at the park, we drove out to a gopher tortoise reserve and several parts of the Edisto river. We were welcomed back with a pop quiz. Today was a free day since we had such a long day on Tuesday. So far I've had a very productive day. I ran some errands in the morning, decided on my final sources for my Wetlands research paper, wrote part of the paper, and went to the gym. After I study for tomorrow's exam in Environmental, I plan to complete the introduction of my paper. I like the pace of things up here, I function best when I have time constraints.
