I have little direction as to what to do...when I was a kid I would let slime grow on slides I left in the fish pond..that kept me happy looking them over discovering new creatures...take some photos and videos of things..I will be limited as I can't see myself doing well with preparation.

you can buy lots of slides with subjects already mounted on them -- at least you could when I did look some years ago. Depends what you look at. Think I could make a spider stop for dark field. A drop of blood under dark field is marvellous -- look at you tubes. No you may not know every thing you are seeing. If we get together, could spend a couple of hours teaching you one things.
I topped my High School, many decades ago, in Biology -- 98% in the Biology exam. Pity that I never studied, and just scraped through Maths, English, etc. Only studied Biology as that is the subject that I liked. And did become a Pathology Technician, a 4 year TAFE course. Then did all but two subjects of a 2 year Pathology Technician's Higher Certificate. It was the last year that one of these subjects ran, as that course was replaced by an Associate Diploma. See our Baby Daughter did die, and I had medical problems probably due to the stress, and was put in Hospital for 6 weeks. Ad could no longer do one of this two subjects, as it was the last year it ran. The replacement Cours was not equivalent. We did lots of Microscopy in Haematology, Histology and the Microbiology subjects.
