Well, it's been awhile since my last post, but the only thing to really happen in that time is that school has become significantly more hectic. I started work again officially last week, and it's kind of difficult figuring out exactly the things Dr. C wants me to do before GSA (which is in 3 weeks!!! Holy cow!). I can't believe it, but I think I have more writing assignments than any of my roommates, including an English major. The new thing in the Geology department these days is to try to improve our scientific writing skills. I guess it's a good thing because I definitely need to improve, but man, is it a lot of work. My structural geology class goes on lots of fun field trips, but then we have to write a paper after each one. That's basically a paper a week until it gets too cold for even the craziest of geologists to do field work (i.e. the rocks are completely covered by snow). And all my midterms are the week of the 15th, so that will be interesting. I'm actually enjoying my Chem 107 lab class. I feel like a real chemist, even though I refuse to buy a pair of scientific goggles. I think it'll get a lot harder though, at least that's what everyone says. In all this work, I've also managed to get myself sick. Just a head cold, nothing serious, but it is slowing me down just a bit.
On a different, brighter note, Friday's my birthday! And I'm getting old. I'll be 21. This is the last year people keep track of their age. From here on out, it's just old jokes. I have a field trip to Seven Peaks on my birthday. Apparently, my teacher didn't mean the water park and we're actually going to the literal seven peaks for which the park is named.
I think the water park would have been a nice gesture though.
