This is a Blog that consists of my Random Musings on Life the Universe and Everything... to which the answer is, of course, 42, though the question is still unknown... anyhow, if you followed that you are most likely able to follow the rest of my ramblings... though the real question is do you want to?

Well what can I say about myself... um not much really... I'm a geology student... I'm addicted to tea... I'm insane... what else do you need to know. Oh... and please excuse randomly placed commas, and typos that I am sure are more than rampant throughout these postings... keep in mind most of them are done late at night (or early morning) when I am quite exhausted, I do little or no proofreading, and I'm not doing them to be perfectly grammatically correct I'm writing to just get stuff out of my head.

Heya all... Well, as some of you may have noticed, my presence here has been virtually non-existant... why? Because school has taken over my life... with 4 labs this semester and 5 next semester I'm on campus from basically 8:00-5:00 or sometimes later... and when I'm not I'm doing homework, writing up labs, or studying for one of my classes.... Workload aside, however, I love my courses! I'm actually learning geology now in all its glory... I have mineralogy, Sedimentolgy, invertebrate paleontology... all of them are lots of fun although they take up a lot of time...

so it's unlikely that I'll be seen often here... though rest assured, I am not dead (despite appearances) and having lots of fun buried under my school books, notes, and mineral samples...

Its great! The labs are hands on... in fact for sedimentology we actually go down to the river valley to map out the area... of course this is also a great deal of work as by November 19 we have to have a 20 page report done on the area we are mapping dealing with what we see there and what it tells us about the history of the area.... But its so fun! Hard, but fun...

Anyhow, that's everything... I'll try to pop in every now and again but I likely won't be posting very much.... anyhow speaking of labs I'm in the middle of my computational techniques in Earth and Atmospheric Science lab so I should send my assignment in seeing as I have five minutes left before the lab is over...

Kitten pictures

Well here are the promised photographs:

A geology student through and through I added things in for scale. Here we have the kitty with a standard unsharpened HB pencil:




And here he is with a standard playing card:



Now that you know the relative size of the basket it can be used for scale:


Hehe.... he's a cutie


The kittie fell asleep on Hannah's lap and Farley moved in on his opportunity to get close without the cat hissing at him:



And he has a new name: Mowatt. Yes Farley and Mowatt... you would think that would have occured to us earlier...
