Back from the Yukon and Still Rocking

Mon Sep 4, 2006, 3:24 PM
I'm back from a glorious summer in the Yukon! Hoorah for geology!

I had a wonderful time working with a wonderful group of people... there was only really one person there that gave me a hard time and I expected it because I already knew her from school *cough*Stephanie*cough* but I mostly avoided her and her tendancy to try to pick fights and order me around and it was all good. And they've offered me a job again for next summer which would be absolutely awesome and wonderful! (I'm all smiles about this particularly because I doesn't think Steph is going to be rehired and everyone else is so awesome and nice and they know so much and were willing to teach me so much!)

Yes, yes I am a bit hyper at the moment but that's okay.

I'll have more pictures up on my website soon (it needs some attention because I've ignored it for the past few months). I just have to retrieve my second picture CD from Adrienne's house... along with Life of Brian (great movie... go Monty Python)... I am brilliant when it comes to forgetting things.

Anyhow, I had a wonderful time... If I hadn't gotten that across yet. I tramped around in the bush, looked at core, moved lots of core (boxes of rock are, contrary to popular belief, heavy. But I can carry them on my own now too), cut core with the core-saw, helped set up camp, collected many rock samples (some for the company and a few for myself too :D), Mapped out the geology of some of the old trenches, drew maps and cross-sections, chose a few of the drill sites and gave input for some of the others, panned for gold, panned some of the percussion drill sample, and did some more tramping around the bush. So in summary a wonderful summer where I learned a whole wack of a lot while having the time of my life while meeting and working with amazing, wonderful people.

*grins* Definitely the job for me.

Over and out

Hey Emily!

I'm just browsing through your hobbies. Looking good so far!
I like your drawing style! Very subtile coloring in grayscale and a good conception of composition. Maybe you could improve a bit on drawing faces(Yes I know, faces are bitches to get on paper! and they make or break your entire drawing).
Keep up the good work!
