Hey, so I knew the giveaway would be between the two of you and that's just fine by me :) I am still working on the centerpiece which I am hoping to make out of the Turquoise I picked up at an abandoned mine on the day of my geologic mapping final. Which is a great story btw.
I was in what I fondly called the "remedial mapping" group. We were the few that our professor would keep close while everyone else was wandering. He checked our maps more often, and usually they were wrong. We were also not as fast as everyone else and often lagged behind our former military classmates. We had one day to practice before we were on our own with the blank paper map which was our final. I stayed near the professor all day trying to clean up my act, but really, I knew the final would be particularly hard for me. The day of the final, we were grouped "randomly". I saw right through that. We were actually grouped by ground speed. The former-military were in one group, athletics in the next, slow-but-good-mappers, and then myself with the slow-but-not-so-good-mappers. We took our final, and yes I was slow, but I also received the top grade! And that is something I will always be proud of. My professor and TA were very happy that I blew their expectations out of the water.
Anyways, I picked up a bunch of rocks on the way back from that trip and I am hoping to turn them into something cool. Maybe they will be ready by Christmas :)
