It’s been a week since I updated my blog which is awful of me. Not only that so much has happened that is seems ludicrous how much I could blab about for awhile. New houses, old houses, workouts, midterms, finals, sunrises, disappointments, joy and pain were all involved in this past week. Lets go through a recap.
Monday, Turkey day. Pretty easy. I went over to my cousins house for their invite. The food was great, his mother-in-law- made me knocki, which I love and I got to spend some time catching up with a bunch of people I hadn’t seen in a long time. It was also the first day of my HAC inspired workout.
Tuesday, didn’t feel well at all. I stayed home and my instructor is going to make me do a field lab in December. Must remember to pack some gloves for that.
Wednesday, the first air photo quiz. Didn’t do as well as I thought I could (theme for this week). We moved on to learn about glaciers and how to recognize glacial formations in air photos. It seems almost impossible not to see some type of glacial remains now every where I look. Alberta seems full of them.
Thursday, went over our final for forest measurements. Again, not as good as I thought I could have done and it was made even worse by the fact that it was a simple mathematical equation that I couldn’t remember. Similar to my silviculture midterm, I endure pain because I forgot something I should have remembered. Fourth day of HAC workout. Getting pretty hungry.
Friday, had a quiz based on the glacial information that we had learned on Wednesday. I am finding this class very interesting the more I understand what it is I am supposed to be doing. I think the study of land formations is very interesting especially now that I am able to apply some of this knowledge to everyday life. Such as “Hey look at that drumlin”, or “I think I will go swimming in a tarn’.
Also, we received the results from our engineering course, and guess what? I didn’t do as well as I should have. It is a bit of a disappointment because I thought that test for sure was one I had done well with. Well, I was wrong and guess what. I forgot the formulas for some mathematical equations.
So there you have it, one week of some pretty cool learning opportunities, Some major disappointments and a house that my friend and I have found to rent. I can’t wait for next week when we get to take a field lab to Jasper. It will be nice to get out of the city again.
