Saturday, May 01, 2004 So I am blogging here from an Internet Cafe in Jasper, halfway through second year fieldschool. It's been pretty good, although Tuesday was the worst weather EVER, it rained, sleeted, and snowed throughout the day. Bleh. The other days have been good, albeit hot. We've been doing about 10km a day, that's not including all the up and down (one hike invovled going 70m up a scree slope. If you don't know what that is, look it up. Then be impressed). I'm so glad we had a day off, I really needed it to relax and unwind. We have been through Pre-Cambrian to Triassic rock, and saw some Pleistocene/Holocene stuff as well. We hiked Mt. Greenrock (the death day, with the scree slope), and all over an area near Talbot Lake. The next assignments are at Old Fort Point. Soon I'll be back in Edmonton, to pack and move to Calgary. I also got three of my marks, A- in Mineralogy, A- in Clastics, and B- in Mapping. It's good, more than I was hoping for in mapping since I really bombed the final. So far that's a...well still over 3.0 GPA. I hope Carbonates went well. We'll see. |
