Just to warn you guys, I'm leaving to TA field camp this weekend, and I won't be back for three weeks. You'll just have to make do without me.

I had my last final today. I think I did pretty well. But I don't have time to relax just yet 'cause I have to prepare for field camp this weekend.

I asked Tennielle to cut my hair shorter this time so it won't get in my eyes when I'm out in the field. I like it! It feels like I'm bald.

I hope Kelly did well on her Sedimentology final. I'm sure she did fine.

one final down. one to go.

Thank you very much to someone who shall remain nameless (his/her name rhymes with Meth Bartin), who left a lovely gift of a Poppy Red (#744) Prismacolor Verithin colored pencil in my mailbox, which was the last color I needed for field camp. I appreciate your kindness immensely.

In other news, Kelly and I made out at the GeoBanquet yet again!!! When will the insanity end!

Kelly doesn't think the Onion is funny, but I think it's hilarious. Here's on of their "cooking tips" from this week's issue:

"Stone soup gets its fullest, heartiest flavor from sandstone or dark shale. Igneous and metamorphic stones tend to overwhelm the flavor of the vegetables."

Kelly's having a rough day today. First, she was really tired this morning. She slept in a little, so she was behind getting ready for class. Then she ran out of gas on the way to ASU. I brought her some fuel, but then I let her take my car so she wouldn't have to worry about anything. It seems like she's doing better now. I love her and I just want to make sure she's happy. I feel bad when she has a bad day.

First off: Happy Anniversary Kelly!

Guess what, I'm going to be the field camp TA this summer. We had a meeting today to discuss the schedule and some of the basic changes we're going to make. I'm getting excited.

I'm not excited about my favorite show ending. The past three days I have been glued to the TV to watch Manor House on PBS. But it's only six hours long, and it's over now. I thought it was a really interesting show, and some people really showed their true colors when they were in their Edwardian roles. Sir John got really full of himself, and some scullery maids found out just how spoiled they really were. But the person I really hate the most was that tutor. He was such a backstabber, and he couldn't even look somebody in the eye when he talked to them.
