Omg the photos of the tall ships in New York are breathtaking. Like seeing a painting come to life!
I was wondering where the Elissa went, but lo and behold they're all gathering in NY!

Chilling in the geology themed coffee shop... wishing I could climb a rock.
I need a hiking trip to the granites and limestone (my beloathed, how I miss you now). For enrichment.
I worked my first 12-hour field day 🫠
I don't mind Terra Core sampling - in fact I like them - but it takes extra time to label every container on top of using a PID. It's specially annoying if the core gets jammed midway, but at least we saw some evaporite, gypsum I think (which I don't ever see at these depths along the Gulf Coast edit: specifically TX Gulf Coastal Plains).

Huge pro about geology: can't bullshit your way through petrology, mapping, and field methods classes with ChatGPT.
It's all pure study, passion, some actual bullshitting, and grit over here. Nesse, Winter, Fossen, Coe, professors verging on emeritus, and TAs are there for you. You will lick that rock outside and decide if it's F or EF sandstone. You will write that code in MATLAB, or dig through dictionary keys to find your dataset. You leave your undergrad with eye strain, color pencil pigment and dirt under your nails, huge calves, a tan, and back pain! And our disabled peers have just as much work and have far more grit than any of us.
This goes to other degrees where AI dependency is a ticket to dropping out or to an inept career. Really gonna give someone a lecturing IRL if I hear they use ChatGPT for their classes.
I kinda want to make the drive to Galveston to see Battleship Texas fire her guns. It's a 100-year-old dreadnought, last of her kind! Kinda hard to say no to that.
NEW TRAILER
It looks like they're getting close to the finish line. Justin please let us pay you at this point man!!!!!!!!!
HEYTEA's king jasmine guava is so fucking good and I need to recreate it. I WILL find a way (i.e., follow someone's tutorial bc it's already been done).
