Sorry, I haven't written much recently. I have generally been burned out. This weekend was far from relaxing. We turned in a huge project Friday. Then we had an all day field test Saturday. Then on Sunday night had a 3 hour cross section mapping exercise. By Sunday night, I was on the verge of snapping mentally.
I will say though that Saturday night and Sunday during the day were fun though. Saturday the local bar in town had a trivia night type thing going on. Merilie (spelling) and I were on a team and won the thing. Though, I was the one who ended up answering all the questions. I didn't miss a single answer.
Sunday we all went into a small town called Ennis, famous for some of the world's best fly fishing, and which has a great lake for swimming- minus the leaches that live there. We stopped for ice cream after. Everything was going perfect 'till we got back. The cross section project was insanely tough. I have never felt so consistantly underprepared for the level of work given me than this summer.
Today and yesterday, we worked on mapping an Igneous pluton structure just north of the Mt. Doherty complex we have worked on previously.
Tomorrrow, we are going to take a tour of a huge copper mine in Butte. I am really excited for the trip both because it means we won't be in the field and becuase it is known for having some excpetional mineral samples, which I hope to be able to take with me.
