Well, I’m all packed up and ready to go on an adventure.  Today will start with an Anthropology lecture covering body art and manipulation.  Then I will get in a van, and four hours later I’ll be in Mason, TX.  I’ll be there until Sunday making a geological map for Field Methods.  Hopefully it will go smoother than last time.

Today I started my day with Mineralogy lecture. I learned about light refraction in minerals.  Also I learned multiple differences to look for in different minerals. Then I met up with Tom O, and he gave me a key to the lab that I’ll be doing research at throughout the semester.  Then a quick Differential Equations class. Then I spent most of the day preparing for the Field Methods field trip leaving tomorrow.
