Ok, so yesterday we had a debate/meeting thing. It was to help solve the problem in Kenya with the Dadaab refugee camp. We were all split up into different counties, so like two people per country. We talked about how Somalia is where the refugees are from and that we should send some troops there to help them. And to help give the people in the refugee camps more of an education, so that they won’t have to spend their whole lives in refugee camps. The biggest challenge we faced was that in the end there were two groups that had basically the same ideas. Just worded a little different and with different funders, so the group that had more funders won in the end. The most I enjoyed out of it was that we were put into groups/countries with people that aren’t exactly our friends. And that we also had to write a resolution with people that had the same ideas as us instead of our friends.

I learned that Lake MI is more of a Oligotrophic lake and Spring Lake was more of Eutrophic. I learned that sea lamprey, are very dangerous, and they also used to be a big problem but now their population is going down. And that quagga muscles used to be a big problem but now zebra muscles are. And that if you move even a tiny bit, the water, or like different lakes, you are in can change a ton. Oh and that the plume is awesome because the water changes colors.
