Hi Mrs Herrman, today I woke up at 4:30 to do some homework and various things. I have a love hate relationship with my sleep schedule. It's really great for getting work done but it's also extremely difficult to get up extremely early every day, and then go to school and then come home and do more work. On the bright side, I can get things done extremely fast because there is three hours in the morning to do nothing but productive work, this makes long term assignments rather easy to complete. The microcosm project sounds extremely interesting. They sound like little ecosystems with there own predators and prey conserved in a tiny world. I guess that is the definition of a microcosm. The snails seem like they are having a great time avoiding being eaten by the starfish, I would be willing to bet that ocean acidification would severely impair this organisms ability to defend itself by this advanced means. Hannah says hi: "How does the resist-ability of starfish compare to that of the snails in terms of raised pH level?" Kim Klima says: "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
