For the unanswered threads, I check them every day but the thing is that there are questions there that are still very difficult for me. The point is that I still don't deserve to be an intern but with your help I will soon get there ;)

Only an intern would answer like this ;)
You probably understand just about as much as I do.

This is true. Upper management have quite convinced themselves that they are experts on all subjects, but their real expertise is giving responses that convince others that they know what they're talking about. Take notes @luis angel ;-)

Off to do final suitcase check and off to bed. Heading to airport at 5am…

Flight at 10;15am. I like to be sitting at airport bar, relaxing for 2 hours and playing game on phone. No stress, even if there were delays on my part. I’m weird.

Thank you everyone for your support, encouragement, generosity, and love for me getting to go on this trip.

I’ll check in, at night when I get back to hotel room.

Good morning everyone, I have good and bad news. The good news is that the goby and the shrimp already have their cave and are living there, the bad news is that last night when I arrived from my mother-in-law's house I found the blenny on the floor near the tank, I don't know how it happened, the wrasse is in the acclimatization box and no one was attacking him, I feel so sad, He had already won my heart, he was also eating just like the goby, I even thought that the worst was over

I am so sorry, Luis. I have no idea why that would happen. Do you have a lid on the tank?

So sorry for your loss

I don't have a lid, what I did every time I put a new fish in was put a towel over the tank from the time the lights went off until they came on for at least a week and until now no fish had ever jumped out of my tank.
