Ok, so I haven't posted in a while.  But I DO read every now and again and the THATSSOPUNKROCK community seemed like a good read.  I would recommend reading some of the posts, they made me laugh so much and I don't even fully understand half of the inside jokes.  But this is one i posted and I had to share.

I think I'm too much of a city girl for this place sometimes.  Reason #42: I was utterly terrified last night when I heard gun shots right outside the cabin followed by maniacal laughter and shouting. (Add on the fact that I was alone at the cabin that night ( Read more... )

This video could have easily been made by me and Nikki:)

Nikki and I went to Red Star to see Andy from the DECC 'play'.  We danced and drank martinis. There were creepy dudes and they tried to kiss us and dance with us but we were the wiser.  We played those saps. And I thought that other guy was gay. I was WAY off. I'm hoping that the red velvet and french pear will not kill me tomorrow.  Another case ( Read more... )

So, perhaps I will stay at UMD one more semester and explore the coral reef geology of the Bahamas over Spring Break.

Decisions.

I made a contact the other day and I may have a temporary geology job in Babbitt, MN when I graduate.  I don't think I want to work there long term by any means but I do think it's a job in my field right out of college.  I can't count on it though because I haven't actually interviewed yet.  That's next week.  But I do know the guy who is ( Read more... )

I really do.  I've been creating a website about our trip for Howard.  And lately, the way I've been feeling makes me want to move there forever.  It will get better...that's what I keep saying.  It will and it has been but it never feels that way before you get there.  So, until then, I will dream of glaciers ( Read more... )

So, my parents called me while I was away in Canada this weekend (for my economic geology field trip) telling me they had great news.  I didn't expect this at all.  Apparently I was the top student in field camp and got a scholarship for it!  Holy shit, I still can't believe it.

But I missed Nikki's call:(  Call me again!!!

I had my first lab as a TA today.  It was a lab on Earthquakes.  I had to go over my syllabus and give a short, 15 minute lecture on this topic.  GOD.  I understand this stuff but I was nervous all the same when 1:00 was drawing near.  I started talking and I felt myself show the early signs of nervous stammering.  But then I really looked at the ( Read more... )

I'm all moved in to Nikki's apartment.  All my furry and feathery roomies are here and I have internet!  (happy happy).  I'm better. I was only sick for like 2 weeks and still recovering week 3 so by the next week I was able to make up my capstone in Ely and I got an A for field camp.  Howard said that he was told I did very very well but he said ( ( Read more... )
