My journey here was immense ....it took hours and hour and hours!
I felt simultaneously excited, nervous, sick with anticipation and thrilled for my new adventure.
Would I like the other students?
Would I like my teachers?
Would I fit in?

It turned out I worried about nothing. By the 4th day I was sat next to my new course friends, joking about fish and chips! And I won the quiz too - the prize was something called a Slinky - it's crazy but fun to play with! I think I'm going to like it here.

Jellyfish

I know I am here to study about human anatomy and movement - but jellyfish right?!

They are so cool!

Creatures with no brain, no visible stomach, but with the intelligence to follow each other and find plenty of food resources in the sea. They are beautiful, magical and relaxing. But their sting definitely hurts! I trod on one once on a beach and I couldn't move my foot for weeks.

Some of these creatures could help with future cures for illnesses or human diseases. We really need to make sure we care for our planet. I am going to research that topic a bit more for my extended project I think.
