and I haven’t been very active here. I just came off of a terrible academic week. I had 4 midterms scheduled in 3 days which covered over 500 pages of material. My one professor had a baby so one got pushed back until after spring break : )
So my social life has been about as eventful as finding lint in your belly button (thanks to Morris for that comparison). The last real thing I did was the Ludo concert and that we two weeks ago. Morris and I got there right as Ludo was going on and it was just lovely. The Troc is in Chinatown so you can probably guess where we went before!! That’s right, Singapore vegetarian! I can’t talk about it too much or else I’ll get hungry : )
So here’s some pictures!
And then just yesterday there was a ribbon cutting ceremony for Beury Hall!! This is what I learned from the ceremony:
- The renovation was a $25 million project.
- Ann Weaver Hart has two geologists in her family.
- Geologists are more opportunistic than chemists, as seen in the refreshment line and line to get Beury mugs.
- The Geology department was meant to have our own building.
Oh the dreams we had. Ann winked at me. I’m pretty sure it was to me because when she said bullet number 2 I clapped the loudest and it was in my direction. So here’s some pictures:
Ann Weaver Hart, president of Temple.
Oh, and here’s Dr. Grandstaff, better known as G! The guy behind G, the dean of the College of Science and Technology, made a joke about how this was the first time he’s ever seen G in a tie and it only took $25 million. But we all know real scientists don’t wear ties because of safety issues. For example, G is a geochemist. Imagine that on a hot plate!
And here’s the sign. Silly, I know, but meaningful.
Dr. Myer!! He’s a trip.
Some geo ladies!
The side of Ann Weaver Hart. I didn’t want to be too obvi : )
And Hooter and I!
And now it’s spring break time!! I’m actually doing some lab work with a grad student and getting paid. It’s making this sections of rock. Super fun. I’m so pumped : )
you crazy geology majors and your rock music…
