so yeah ....going on an intensive 7 day hike/camp trip with 2 geology and one biology professor to Mt. Rainier and Mt. Saint Helens. It's an upper division class so we are expected to write a scientific review paper and answer in depth biology/geology questions, before we even leave. Then we keep a field note book including sketches and scales, and keep a trip journal. Also I'll be giving a presentation in the field to my peers. There are going to be no showers the entire trip and only one restaurant stop at the very end. Supper excited. Don't think I'll run into an opportunity to be so physically and mentally challenged in a while.

Also found out that there is going to be a cave geology/biology class next summer.....wow summers really are the BEST!
