GEOLOGY


This past weekend I decided that I want a master's degree in Geology. I really do! I don't know when or how but I want it. This amazing realization came standing on an exhumed meandering stream channel in the Morrison Formation with my Sedimentology class. We had to make as many observations as we could about the outcrop and then make an interpretation. We didn't know anything about it when we got out of the vans but by the time we got back into the vans we knew what this area had looked like 145 million years ago and where the dinosaurs came to get a drink. We are really good at putting puzzles together and it was really exciting. Two and a half more years for school is not so much to ask for that kind of satisfaction.
