Today was my first day at Vancouver Aquarium! It went really well, very hectic and busy- but everyone was incredbily nice. We got very dorky uniforms that consist of boardshorts, navy shirts that say 'intern', a Vancouver aquarium baseball cap, and water sandals called Keens.
After I changed we got a tour of the entire facility we'll be working in and met all the animals. Then I got to 'pet' Imaq the beluga for a while and feed him, which was amazing. For the next couple weeks I have grunt work- fish house duty from 7am to 3pm for at least 3 weeks. But after that we get to start going to training sessions w/ the trainer and eventually even training ourselves.
I'm really excited for the rest of the summer, especially because a baby whale is due at the aquarium any day any now! Now I just have to find a young, hip and cool group of friends to hang out with on the weekends.
Hi Kaitlyn,
ReplyDeleteThis is just a test as we have not had luck making any comments. Now that I have a few minutes I thought I would try to crack the puzzle!
Love,

Well, I guess I have solved the puzzle - but it took several tries to get it to take that post. Now I will try to do it using another method.
ReplyDeleteI think feeding a whale has to be easier than figuring out how to use this site!! I guess you have finished day two by now. Hope you had fun and met some cool co-workers.
ReplyDeleteWe are going downtown to a wine dinner featuring our Nappa cousin. Should be fun.
Take care and keep on posting!!
Love ya,
