Almost Done

YEAH!! Today is the second to last day of field camp...I'll be glad to be done, but alas I have a crapload of wrok to do upon my return to Bako...And I'm gonna miss it here alot, especially all the new friends I've made...I think this whole experience here has changed me as a person, made me loosen up a bit at least. Somehow I wasnt expecting it to be this great...I was really prepared to be bored and homesick for five weeks. But I guess lifes just funny like that :o)

I will be glad to see the fam again...I miss Friday. Oh and the moms:o). I think she misses me too. Corinne probably just misses making fun of me..hehe I love you sister!

I think we should BBQ upon my return..I'll have to see about that...

Ok time to get back to paying attention..

Life Happens!!

Hmm...Seems as though everything seems to turn upside down just when I think I've got it right...longer post later..I got better things to do right now :o)

My dabbling in Photography picture

Ok, so I took this picture myself at Cedar Breaks and Ansel Adam-eds it in iPhoto..it wasnt that hard..but I though this was a cool picture so I posted it. I'm pretty much in love with Bristlecone Pine trees, just because they grow to be so old! I also think they're rather cool looking...

Just another Sat night

So today I did nothing..absolutely nothing..and I loved it!

April and I were the only ones who stayed in town this weekend, so we hung out at the coffee shop, then the pool where we met up with Ashley and then headed over to the reniassance fair thing to grab some lunch, which I had a Gyro for the first time and it was mighty good. And then I had funnel cake..and kettle corn. I'm pretty sure my diet is pretty much screwed up from all this crap I've been eating lately, but hey, I'll be back on track once I get home...this is almost like being on vacation for 5 weeks, away from all people who annoy me, and the only thing I really have to think about is geology, which I love to think about~ So it works for me :o) Too bad it costs so much...

Anywho, not much else aside from that. We watched SLC punk tonight, which I thought was a good movie. I dug the story it was telling anywho..

So I guess its time for a shower and then bed...the power will be turned off tomorrow from 6am-2pm, so apparently they're giving us vouchers for iHop...we'll see how that goes...ruin my diet EVEN more than now..yikes..

At least I've been going running when I can, too bad my knees are starting to hurt~

Only two more weeks!

Amber is the color of your energy...

So...not much AGAIN this week...I guess I'm just not so exciting..although life has been difficult without TV. I missed the premier of Project Runway tonight...I'm so sad!! *tear*

Alas, I think thats really all I can come up with tonight...gonna shower and read some more of Haunted..

*sigh* I miss my Bravo Channel...

Cedar Breaks Pic

April took this pic of me, I thought it was so cool!!

I'm a bird!! I'm a bird!!

Ok so today was a good day! We hiked up to Cedar Breaks, which is similar to Bryce Canyon. They had hoodoos and everything! We even got to see this cool waterfall which came out of this really cool cave (Karst!) I'll post pictures when I get a CD made at Wal Mart, because stupid me, I left my camera USB cable at home. I'm such a genius, I know!

Then we watched the Date Movie, which was HORRIBLE, although funny because it was the worst movie I've seen ever. Followed by The Notebook. Only a few movies have made me tear up, and not in the I'm crying my eyes out sense, but this movie made me cry!! Really cry!! It was just so sweet and such a good story and now I'm contemplating reading the book. It made me all sappy and girly...but what can I say, I love that romantic crap :o) Someday I hope I'm lucky enough to find someone to love like that!! We'll see...

Angels Landing~

So I overcame my fear of heights last Sunday by successfully climbing Angel's Landing in Zion. I just got the pictures tonight, so I'll just do a picture post tonight!

On the Trail

I made it down alive!!!

Purgatory...

So today we went to Purgatory...which turned out to be super easy because it wasnt that hot and the wind wasn't blowing so we couldnt smell the landfill much (or maybe I just got used to the smell? I dunno...) So I had an easy day of it today~ We went swimming in this lake round lunchtime and it was fun until I touched the bottom and felt the grass stuff growing down there...I hate seaweed and this stuff is even worse! hehe..but I had fun anywho...Tonight we're going out for 'real' margaritas, which will hopefull be better than the last bunch, which you can read about in my myspace blog, since I cancelled my older blog earlier today! It'll be up until tomorrow sometime...so make sure you switch all your links over, yeah!

Anywho, not much else to say.. Utah is such a pretty state! I love the country around here. Oh! and we went to see this really cool fireworks show for fourth of july. We got really cool seats and one of our TAs was in the band that was playing and he dedicated Sweet Home Alabama to us! It was sweet...I think we were the only people getting down, since everyone else was still sitting...its fun to cause a rukus! Although the sucky part was gettin back late and only getting five hours of sleep last night! Although tomorrow I dont have to be ready until 7:30AM, which'll give me time to sleep in! I'm so excited!

Oook I think thats it...*sigh* I love being here..no real work, I get to do geology all day long and party at night! This is gonna be the best month of my life~

Woot!!

I'm so happy the kids at Mykin linked to my blog!! hehe I feel so popular...

Just another working week this week. We're mapping metamorphic rocks around Utah Hill, which has been easy so far because it's been cool thanks to all the rain. Hopefully it stays this way until we're done with Purgatory. Purgatory is supposed to be the hardest part of this whole trip, because its hot and next to a landfill, so its super stinky to boot. Fun, huh!? I must be crazy, oh wait I love rocks : o)

Not much else..life is moving along at a nice slow pace..being here is almost like being back in college again in SB...except for this whole dry campus thing...but I'm having fun while I'm here because I know I'll have alot of work to do when I get back...Arg!

First Blog Post on the New Blog!!

So since my hosting is no longer free...hehe I guess I will be moving back to blogger!!

Rather than trying to revamp my old blog, I'll just be making a new one!

So not much to this right now...I'll be working on moving my links over and getting everything in line for the big switch...
