Week 4: Chugging Along

What I learned this week that I did not know the previous week is how the employees in the botany department go out on the field to find plants. I also learned that when they go out in the field they  write down the location, if there in a canyon or not, what is close to that location, the latitude and longitude,  description of the plant, and plants that surround it. What I liked about my internship this week is that I actually got to experience how they work in the field. I got to pick a plant write down everything, got back to the museum to print out a label that has all the information, press the plant, and in the end I get to take the plant home. What I dislike in my internship this week is that I needed to take pictures of dead rattlesnakes so they can put them in the museums website. I didn't like it that much because I don't like  snakes even though there dead, and plus they had this scary look on their faces that was staring right at me.
