Well, I think I did well on the differential equations quiz today, and my allergies are doing much better.  Know I can prepare for an early start tomorrow to Mason, TX for Field Methods.  It is suppose to thunder storming when we get there, so I’m happy I have gotten all the gear I need for the occasion.  This will be a true test for the whole class’ seriousness in Geology!

Today I finally received my new hiking boots in the mail, and it’s pretty good timing since I’m leaving on a field trip early Friday.  I’ve been doing differential equations for a couple hours now, and I’m feeling confident about the quiz tomorrow.  Furthermore, I hope I start acclimating to my allergies before the field trip, so I’ll feel more enthusiastic about all the walking, plotting and studying this weekend.

Normally I would have started today getting myself a football ticket, but I’m going on a field trip this weekend with my field methods class.  I got some homework back in my Mineralogy class, so now I can start looking at what I’m doing wrong and fix it before test time.  Differential equations is still continuing and I’m ready for it to be over.  I understand how to do the problems, but i’m making small mistakes on the quizzes that are detrimental to my grade. 

The mineralogy class participated in a Doctoral student’s study this morning.  I received a review sheet in Anthropology for an exam we will take next Monday.  In field methods we’re gearing up for our field trip this weekend.  Also, in GEOS 101 we had a great speaker who I believe is a Dr. researching micro-petrology.  He did a great presentation while his kids ran around the room and wrote all over the dry erase board.

Today was another relaxing Sunday. I got plenty of studying done today, and ran a few errands.  Now it’s time for a little reading before bed.  Tomorrow is the beginning of a new busy week. 

I did some good studying today.  Also I watched the football game.   Loses happen.  At least it was against the number 1 team in the nation.  Also it was a close game.

Today I took a Map Quiz in Anthropology, and it went smoothly.  I completed my GEOL  309 assignment before class and then did it again during lab to make subtle changes and ask questions.  It was a nice short day.  Now it is time to study for next week and maybe watch a game. 

Geosciences Career Fair Day!  Most companies said they will happily to accept my application when I’m a graduate student, but there were a couple companies that will have intern ship available for Geology B.S..  I had a great time talking to the recruiters and getting to know them, their jobs, and their companies.  I know have a much better understanding of the Geology Work and Graduate environment.     

I went to my first Texas A&m student chapter meeting of the AAPG today.  There was a great presentation about natural fractures and free food.  I learned a lot about about some roles of petroleum geologists, and I learned about some topics I should keep in mind while I am working through my college career.

Today I got my differential equations quiz back.  It was an average grade, so I guess I’ll have to put more effort into that class.  All my other classes seem to be going just fine.  I just need to take things one day at a time
