Oh man, today was a long day. At first it was going well and quickly. Then when we were putting our data together we realized that some of our measurements from our map were off. As we looked more into it we realized that the number length that we were originally looking at was off. That was the first frustrating thing today. The number that I was basing my measurements off of (the one that our professor gave us) was off by quite a few meters which threw everything else off. Luckily, at this point, I was good and quick with my measurements so it went quickly. The next step was to sort the sample by rock size. This was the easy part. We just put our samples in a stack of sieves where the mesh got smaller and smaller. Everything went great until we put the sample in the oven to dry. We had labeled everything in Sharpie figuring that was the best thing. Yeah, not so much. The Sharpie burned off. It took us probably two hours to figure out what went where. It sucked. Partly, also, because there were only four of us actually working while everyone else just sat and watched youtube videos. Really not fun or fair but the work had to get done and they weren't going to do it.
After all of that it was the end of our day which was a darn good thing. Next step? Something fun. A movie- The Borne Supremacy. A way to make the night any better? Burger night! A not so hot day and a good night? Could be worse. Tomorrow will probably be worse but I guess you never know.
