What a fantastic weekend for Louisiana! Or should I say month? Mardi Gras is next week! As usual, we will traipse down to New Orleans and go to Endymion; this is tradition. Lindsey is coming to visit! She's the one who always organizes this shindig after all!

School is the bane of my existence, but it is nice to run into random friends around campus.

GEAUX SAINTS! What a fantastic end to the NFL season!

Upcoming movies to watch: Wolfman, Valentine's Day, Robin Hood.

What are you looking forward to?




EDIT:
For basic geological principles, check out Job 28.

    Geaux Saints! We're watching the parade right now...pathetic? Anywho, amen to those movies! I'm intrigued by Robin Hood. Russell Crowe? Seriously? I think he's handsome and all, but I thought they'd go for somebody younger...oh well. I'll still see it. Have fun at the parade!

It's fall, Yall

Where does the apostrophe go in YALL? There are so many different ways people like to spell the word.

Talked to my advisor, and he told me I'm graduating Fall 2010 in Geology with a focus on scientific communication. YES.

I have a boyfriend. He has bright red hair. I don't like red hair, but I like him.

Please pray for me--it's a busy semester.



  • brynee
    This a very exciting post! Graduating! Congrats! As far as the "comma to the top" as my dad says, I always write it "y'all", b/c I consider it to be you all, not ya all. Personally. Boyfriends are nice. And with New Moon only 21 days away, I can be excited to wear my new t-shirt. But which one is the question. Team Edward or Team Jasper? Sigh. We shall see.

    You could get him to dye his hair. He would if he loved you =P

    Texas Roadhouse spells it "Ya'll" so thats the spelling I've chosen to adopt =)

    I love Sense and Sensibility! The movie at least =) Thats one of my moms and my favorites ;D I'm guessing the book reads differently though..? I'll have to get the Sea Monsters version!

  • firefaerie
    Its not the Kate Winslet version, its the Severus Snape version! LOL I almost died laughing the first time I saw Harry Potter, Snape just doesnt seem so evil when he's in love with Kate Winslet lol

Home Again, home again

A six week stint in Colorado really changes a person, physically and mentally. For example, I went to the LSU Rec center today and ran a mile on the treadmill with the incline as high as it would go. My heart rate started out around one-sixty but quickly dropped to 55, where it remained the rest of the time. Frustrated, I switched the the elliptical machine. I upped the resistance throughout my workout, using the strain on my legs to gauge the amount of work it would take to carry 5 liters of water. After a mile of a heart rate around 75, I gave up. Now I'm home on pleonast wondering what to do. Any suggestions?

I'm so tan, I think I changed races.

It snows in the summer in Colorado. That's when everyone goes primitive camping. By primitive, I mean no showers and a hole in the ground for number 2.

The rocks are cool. Metamorphic pelites are the most interesting. Also found some good fossils: part of the shell of a straight chambered Nautilus that grew around 6 feet long, crinoid stems, and a sponge. One of my friends found about a dozen shark teeth. We also saw some sort of bovine footprints right beside dinosaur ones. Needless to say, all the evolutionists were a bit confused.

UFOs are real. My field partners and I saw one in New Mexico--the aliens are alive and well.

Dr. Horn, the field camp director, believes in Big Foot. There's something for Mr. Ken right there.

The Lord has blessed me with a great experience and a safe trip home.
  • tom_bombadil
    awesome. Did you get a pic of the bovine and dinosaur fossil footprints together?
    by tom_bombadil at 07/15/09 4:40PM
  • tom_bombadil
    If the picture does happen to turn out, I'd love a copy of the file. At the very least, the GPS coordinates would be a neat factoid.

    I didn't read about Andrew Johnson's divorce, at least ok Wiki. Where did you read that??
    by brynee at 07/31/09 10:37PM
  • brynee
    Oh, and Andrew Johnson is on the list of our worst presidents. Nice, huh?
    by brynee at 07/31/09 10:43PM
  • brynee
    I googled it and they were divorced...interesting that wiki left that out! Thanks for enlightening me:-)

    I will defintely try that! I can do vitamins :) After seeing what my dad has been through with antidepressants I really want to avoid them, thanks for the alternative :)

Finals

Please pray for me. Finals are going to be difficult, and I'll need all the help I can get, especially from God who already knows everything anyway. Sometimes diligent studying isn't enough. This is one of those times.


Thanks :)
  • lindsey
    Of course I'll be praying. But as daddy says, "If you fail your tests, it's not the end of the world. And if it is, then those grades didn't matter anyway."

    Don't forget to study in the shower! And write your notes in colored ink! Humor me just a little to see if it works for you.

    Are you finished? Can you breathe now?
    by lindsey at 05/09/09 2:25PM
  • lindsey
    Good job for finishing! Is it too early to ask how you did? Knowing you and that smart little curly head of yours, you did just fine.

    Finals over yet? And the Sookie book was good. But there was not enough Bill. I love Bill.
    by brynee at 05/18/09 11:37AM
  • brynee
    I'm totally on the Bill bandwagon. I've debated Bill vs Eric (tonight in fact) with my girlfriends from work. I'm all for Sookie being with Eric right now. Eric was quite romantic in this book. But in my opinion, Sookie has to be with Bill. He's so in love with her! He's so romantic and brooding! I'm a sucker for a fictional brooding man. Case and point, Mr Darcy.

Structural Geology class is headed to Big Bend, TX, for a mandatory mapping field trip. Please pray for safety. Also, we'll be camping where there are no toilets or showers. I hate camping.

    currently some of the nerves have not regenerated but that hopefully before too long they'll be able to transmit feeling to the brain. :)
