I’ve been back from field school for a hot minute and boy howdy am I glad
I sorta like forgot about all my social medias while I was out there, hopefully I can be better about maintaining this blog but! I’m a lot more active on my Insta: rocksandroles. It’s certainly not geology-exclusive but there are some rocks involved.
I leave for field school at 8am tomorrow and I am the anxious
Only two days left I’m ready to go HOME

Last week I took a trip to Marquette to do my research and I can never return because I fell int Deer Lake on a sub freezing day and half the people of the Ishpeming McDonald’s know I was there doing research on a grant from NASA and the other half know I fell into a frozen lake.
I forgot to tell y’all but I’m still around! I’ve just been super busy with trying to pass calculus and not online much! I’m on Instagram more! @ rocksandroles

This isn’t my typical posting fare but I have a bigger audience here than anywhere else so hear me out:
If you follow this link: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/kickcancerinthepantser you can donate a dollar or two or ten to help me, personally, kick cancer in the pantser, because that’s what it deserves. The organization I work for is hosting a Relay for Life team, and we’re currently accepting donations!
I know times are tight and there’s nothing I can offer you except a shout out and a free mineral identification, but if you’ve read this far and want to help out that’d be awesome!
Stay frosty my friends.
My university updated the physical sciences building and tonight was the donor thank you night and since I’m the president of the geology club I got to go and prove I can’t be trusted around the dessert table. Planet themed cake pops!

I took Intro to Geology in high school, and our mineral identification lab consisted of, I wanna say, about twenty minerals.
I was top of my class and little sixteen year old me thought “Yep. That’s it. That’s all the minerals there are.”
And then, three years later, I took mineralogy.
Boy howdy.

It’s all fun and games until you accidentally see your fingers under a microscope.
