As most know, I have been working on getting an intern at MOC, a.k.a. the Maui Ocean Center. Today I got it! I went in for a 10:30 a.m. interview and ended up staying until nearly 3:00 p.m. I got to make turtle food, shadow a naturalist as he talked to the visitors and even feed the turtles! And this wasn't even the first 'real' interning day! That comes on Tuesday at 1:30. This will be at least a sixty hour intern so I'll work once a week for 2 or 3 hours a week for about six months. Who knows, I may do even more than that if it's really cool, which I'm sure it will be! I'll start out doing the educational aspect of it all and then move on to doing the curatorial (upkeep, feeding) stuff. I am extremely excited (PARTY!!!)! We're going out for a celibratory dinner so I have to sign off now, but I just had to post this!

CONGRAGULATIONS!!! That’s so exciting!
Way to go, Veronica! Congratulations! I'm so excited for you. This is going to be an amazing internship. So what did you feed the turtles? It sounds like you're going to get experience at cooking, too - do you think the rest of the family would mind if you started serving raw fish and seaweed for meals? :)
Haha, they don't even like it when Mom and I serve cooked fish! Though they might like the greens... :)
Looks like a WONDERFUL job.
I heard about the earthquake... are all the Tuepekers okay?
That should have read: Teupkers... sorry about that!
You know, I helped Marianna with her comment and I never got back around to say my own congrats, Veronica!
Do update us on the Earthquake, Maui-ites.
Dear Folks,
I miss reading your blog - POST MORE!!!
Love,
Jennifer
