30 shades of grey

Hi everyone!

I am procrastinating right now because I am currently involved in the most boring of all geological tasks. I collected over 200 rock samples this summer for my research (this is where you all say " wow! what a geological badass"). Now I have to unpack all of them, and decide which shade of grey, red, orange, or purple they are. To give an idea of how awful this is, there are over thirty shades of grey to chose from- very light grey? medium light grey? medium grey? All viable options.

Other than this job, its been a great summer with lots of sunshine. I was camping in the WY badlands for 4 weeks with 24 other people, one of whom was a sleep yeller. He especially liked to yell to me about his tent collapsing on top of him in his sleep. I would wake up, get out of my tent to find him sitting outside in his underwear, asleep and yelling at me. Once his tent did collapse, but I slept through the whole thing.

Back to the rocks! come visit!
