Alright, I am still alive. I have had a very eventful week so far, but eventful is not always a good thing. I had a Physics test on Tuesday evening and also had to finish my lab report which was due before the test. I also had to finish and type my Sed/Strat lab and hand that in before 5pm Tuesday and my Physics test was at 6pm. Yesterday I had a test in my Geography of China, Korea and Japan class. I couldn't sleep Tuesday night so I woke up at 2 am yesterday and started studying for that test. I still have oodles of other stuff that is due, but thankfully no more tests until this Tuesday (5th).
This weekend I am going to the AAPG Eastern Section meeting. AAPG = American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Yes, yes.... one day I shall sell my soul to an oil company. Anyway, I sent my resume in to be published in a book that all of the potential employers who will be there will receive a copy of. There will be interviwes on Saturday with all sorts of geology related businesses. All of the "Big" oil companies will be there and this is where one of my friends earned an internship with Exxon-Mobil. Lucky Bastard! It is 10-times more difficult to get an internship with an big oil company than NASA, I swear it! Hanging out with a bunch of old oil guys who only talk about geology and their days in the "industry" may not seem like fun to many, but I find it really interesting. Geology is a science that is still in its infancy, and some of these guys were the forerunners of what we are learning about in class today. So hearing about their research and experiences first hand is awesome. Yes, yes... you may label me as a GEEK now.....
This is my life. My daily thoughts are filled completely with school, my career, where to go to grad school, when to apply, when to take the GREs, should I take a year off?, would that set me behind?, am I getting too old for this?, what am I doing?, why did I choose this?, I love geology but what am I going to do with my degree?, do I have enough money for this?, do I have all of my necessary credits?, what do I say?, what do I do?, what have I become? and where am I going?.......
I have soo many questions and my direction is unclear. I am surrounded by soo many great people, so why do I feel so alone? What am I missing?
Ok, I feel a little better now.... really...
