Today I had an insanely long but generally good commute out to Denver! I love it here already I saw, like, 6 cowboy hats today, and the train from the arrivals pad to the luggage pickup terminal (the airport was just that big) spoke like a cowboy too. well, the overhead announcement voice. I'll try to get a recording of it when I'm there on my ( Read more... )

I know no one really uses lj anymore so this might just be an entry to empty cyber space, but I'm honestly ok with that. I got some exciting news the other day: APEGNB got back to me about my application and I'm officially in! So yeah, in addition to being awesome, it also means there's a lot of work to be done and one of the first things I have ( Read more... )

PDAC 2013's all said and done but I had a really great time and learned A LOT. Like, and insane amount. The courses I took were awesome. The first one - maximizing the value of geochemical data - wasn't quite what I was expecting.

I'll ( Read more... )

Today was an awesomely productive and just generally awesome day. We all have make up time to do at school since we got rained out a few days last week so Maribel and I are up first, going in to class for 7am and leaving at 8pm. They're long days but today I got so much done! What a great feeling! Especially after yesterday which was an epic ( Read more... )

I have a lot to choose from for this week's feel good moment but I think I'll go with registering for PDAC 2013 which I officially did today! So yeah, it's official: in March I'm off to Toronto for my first ever trip to PDAC, the biggest (as far as I know) geological conference in Canada. Apparently it's more formal that round up so I'll need to ( Read more... )

OMG the funniest and cutest thing in the world just happened, and I have to blog about it so that I can remember it forever. A chinese girl who is staying here at the HGH just ran down the stairs to see the pizza I made. Someone told her I was making one so she came downstairs to see it ("Pizza! That's so cool!"). I asked her if she wanted a ( Read more... )
