Geology is great.

As usual, I am sitting in the coffee shop enjoying my daily cup of coffee. It’s actually my second cup, but my first one here. I made some coffee at home earlier. Sometimes I just can’t wait. I’m sure you coffee drinkers out there understand. Gotta love the dark roast in the afternoon.

This week passed by pretty quickly and unnoticed. Last I realized it was Monday. Now it’s Thursday. Where do the days go, my friends? Where do they all go?! Maybe in another dimension in this same world I am still living Monday. Not that that accomplishes anything for me in this dimension, but still, it’s a neat thought. What do you guys think about alternate dimensions? I don’t really know enough about the topic to form a concrete opinion, but I do know that it would be extremely cool to have different dimensions existing without my knowledge. Maybe there’s just this other world that we don’t even understand. One that exists, completely unrelated to this one, amidst our own. There’s a thought.

I had a geology exam on Monday. It went well, I think. I love geology, though, so learning and putting my knowledge to the test is fun. I’d say that geology is my second passion in life, other than art. I’d be persuing it now if I didn’t put all my eggs in the art basket already. I hate wasting eggs. Metaphorically. I was bored after the test, so I used my time wisely– I took some pictures with my phone! They are terrible pictures, poorly taken, but I didn’t want the instructor to see. I also drew a comic about plate tectonics. It’s a romance. I don’t know if I can post it, the subject may be inapporopriate, but I’ll post it anyway. Suppose it will be removed if it is not allowed. Here are the pictures and the comic:

The first picture is the view from under my table looking towards the kid ahead of me; the second is the bottom of my table; the third my shoes; the fourth is the word “MONEY” that someone scratched into the desk; and the fifth is a sad, three-eyed face I drew on my hand. Comic below:

And now you know a little bit on how mountains are formed! Probably not really, but oh well. It was fun to draw. My notes are very helpful, I know. Sometime I might have to share my other class-subject related drawings with you. I am not much of a note-taker. I’m a note-drawer, though. Tons of drawings about the things I should be noting. They don’t help too terribly much when studying, though, I won’t lie.

I am going to finish my cup of coffee now, play some kind of online game and then go play in the forest until class at six. Does anyone else like to play in the woods? I love exploring. I like to pick a forest somewhere in town and wander through it. However unsanitary this is, I like to pick things up that have made their way into the woods over the years. Like old cans and papers and parts of things. I call them ‘forest treasures.’ I use to give them to my friends, but I have stopped. They never seem to like my gifts… I like gluing tons of random things together and giving them to people. I make them close their eyes, prepare for a wonderful present, and then I give them a glued pile of junk. Who wouldn’t love that? Being so excited for something and then oops, it’s nothin’. Be my friend, you’ll get stuff. Also go exploring, there’s all kinds of interesting junk left in weird places. It’s fun to think about how the stuff made its way into the woods and who had it before mother nature. Anyway, coffee calls. Here are some links to fun games online; play them!
