Meandering geology student seeking the next adventure. Desperate to explore, forced to study. Happiest barefoot in a lake, listening to folk music, with good books, good vibes. and no sense of time.

This is just fun stuff! Plotted measurements from most recent field work that haven't been added to my full map yet.

Had a similar project at the same time for Sturucture but you need to make a structural map, cross sections, and stereonets. Too much to handle all at once while sick! I am glad the department was so kind to let me do this when I was able to handle it. Learned much more this way!

It's not pretty (corner fault caused some suffering). Each number aligns with a hand sample and/or thin section. We needed to use them to understand the full geologic story. Also needed to 3 ternary diagrams. Genuinely so proud of this "A-level work"! New rocks and map for each new petro class.

Learning how to look at these and see a stories like panels in a comic strip, noting their placement in time by where we collected them. Slowly getting a grasp on this.

It is only a thin section. It can't hurt you.

Every time I see the laundry room we use here I have to giggle.

A reminder on my Google calendar! After this past week of work, sickness, police involvement, and therapy two days fully off before winter break thesis lock in are well earned!

I'm very confused. I ordered sneakers. They never arrived and I got my money back. I ordered more sneakers. They never arrived and I got my money back. Today, weeks later, both pairs arrived. Do I start wearing odd shoes now?

Chocolate croissants and strawberries in the rock garden with Kirsten. She gets my mentality of acknowledging the bad days & stress, but embracing all of it. Everything is ephemeral and you never know if a landslide will interrupt your flow next. These may become the good old day and proud memories.

You know, it's weird to regularly be compared to a cartoon character, but sometimes I look in the mirror like "yeah...I get it...."
