My first day!!!

The first day I was on the job was Tuesday August 30th, sorry it has taken me so long to post this... making a blog is a lot harder than it sounds. But I'm finally up and going!!!! Last week I met the students for the very first time, not gonna lie I was pretty intimidated because I just got out of high school, so what kind of authority do I have going around and telling them to pick weeds? Oh yeah did I mention... we picked weeds on our first day, how exciting right? Haha but it was more than just picking weeds, we learned what the trees do for ecosystems along with what plants are native to the Berkeley campus. All in all it was a fun day in the sun and I am excited to see what Tyler has in store for us tomorrow!

^^^ this is a picture of all the weeds the students pulled last week... they really went to work! Even if they were complaining about dirt under their finger nails and getting pricked by thorns the whole time :)

Just a little about me first

I am a freshman at the best university in the whole wide world, that being the University of California Berkeley of course! I am on the water polo team and absolutely in love with the sport. I am from San Diego and am a very active person; I do everything from pier swims, kayaking, horse back riding, and segway-ing! I love to be out and about and having fun!!!! I became involved in this program by a simple whim of wanting to try something new. As far as I know at the moment it's great! What other class can you get credit for being out in the sun, getting a little bit of a work out, and meeting new exciting people??? oh and learning!!!!!
