Greetings from AZ

My new blog post is being written from Tucson, AZ, as I begin my year abroad studying at UofA. After a sixteen hour journey including a stop at Detroit, I was more than glad to finally arrive in Tucson late Thursday night.

Journey from Phoenix to Tucson
Orientation begins on Tuesday which I am looking forward to. It's slightly daunting, but knowing that everybody at international orientation are in a similar boat, it doesn't seem too bad. I am currently in the 'honeymoon' period of my big move and extremely excited as to what my year brings, which I hope to portray through this blog. I'm still adjusting to the time difference and the heat, which is nothing I have experienced so far. As challenging as this year may be, it will most certainly be character building.
So stay posted!

Geologists on Noah's Ark

Image
Every year, the geology department dress up for our annual Christmas party organised by the PCSB student society. This year’s theme was Noah’s Ark and was certainly colourful. The work load for fourth year has been beyond anything I thought it could be. So at last, we had a reason to let our hair down and have some fun. After a week or so of prep, ordering our outfits from eBay and Amazon (student style of course), the time arrived and we finally put on all our accessories on, so that we actually looked remotely like flamingos. It was pink overload.   I think we scored 10 for effort. Strangers even asked for a selfie with us! Many cocktails later, we danced the night away and I found myself snuggled up in bed by 2:30am. That’s how you know I am a fourth year; cocktails and early nights are the way forward! Good luck with the deadlines everyone! Reblogged.

A much needed update to my blog

Since university has finished, I've had a much needed rest. I no longer blog for the department and so I thought it would be a good time to bring this blog back to life! I'm not the most creative of people, but I'm trying! It's 2:30pm, I'm in my dressing gown, and it may have taken me a few hours longer than what I wanted to, but I've finally found a background to my blog I'm in love with. I came across the image on flickr and decided to tile it. It's more than meets the eye and that's what I love. It's from the talented Linden Tea . It's a thin section kaleidoscope! When you first click on the blog, like me, you don't quite understand the background and what relevance it has. But dig a little deeper, and you appreciate it much more - it is the very basis of geology, a slice of a rock! I had a gander through Google, and was surprised to find how easy it was to make such an image. There's many app's to try! I might post a few o...
